Open meetings are the “supreme governing body of TCSU”, and the formal connection between the executive committee and the members of the TCSU. The committee members are required to summarise their recent activities and answer questions asked by other members. The most important part of the open meeting is voting on motions submitted. The committee will hope that members approve their motions. In this way all significant policies are subject to rigorous scrutiny. Other members may also submit motions, which can be anything from requesting the installation of toasters, to a vote of no confidence in the Computing Officer.
