Presentation of the draft of the Internal Regime Regulation and approval of some basic rules for the functioning of the Association. Mª Adoración Holgado reminds us that it has been previously sent via e-mail to all the partners of the draft of the Internal Regime Regulation, which has been elaborated by Juan Antonio Lorenzo Vicente, at the request of the Management Board. The draft of the regulation is attached.(Annex #12) The idea is to approve it in the next Meeting, which will coincide with the development of the X Meeting, so the confirmation and suggestions regarding the draft are requested, until the 15th January 2008. The confirmation and suggestions will have to be sent to the AEPUM Secretary (univ.experiencia@upsa.es) At the request of the President, it is applied for the approval of some basic rules for the functioning of the Association. The following rules are approved: - The participation of the partner representatives from the universities at the Association Meetings will require their previous accreditation of their condition as such before the AEPUM Secretary, through the opportune appointment. In case of the attendance of a representative from a university that has not been appointed to take part in the activities of the Association as such, it will need to reckon with an explicit appointment from the university competent body, and to authenticate that he/she is replacing the titular. Otherwise, he/she will not be able to exercise the right to vote attributed to partners. Votes cannot be delegated, and, unless it is planned the supposed procedure to voting via e-mail, voting will not be allowed when making decisions if the representative is not present and properly accredited in the Meeting. Voting on the behalf of other partner or by delegation will not be allowed either. - The President will have the attributions acknowledged in the 22nd article of the AEPUM Statutes, as well as the ones inherent to his condition. In case of illness, absence or other legal cause, he will be replaced provisionally by the vocal of the Board appointed by him, and in case of not having appointed anybody, the procedure established in the following section will be implemented: - Continuation of the previous paragraph: In case of cessation or resignation in the representation that he holds of his university in the AEPUM, the Presidency of the AEPUM will be considered as vacant. Temporally, the most senior vocal among the elected will take charge for the Presidency; in case of tie in seniority, the most voted; and if the tie persisted, the most senior vocal. They will remain provisionally in their charges the Secretary and the Treasurer, proceeding within a period no greater than three months to the convening of elections for the charge of President, through the corresponding meeting of the General Assembly. - In the event that a vacancy of Vocal appears out the elections period, the next applicant in the list of candidates with a larger amount of votes will be appointed as such to occupy that vacancy until its renovation in the period for the elected of that mandate, if any. Otherwise, the Management Board will function with two elected vocals until the next renovation. - In case of the resignation of some of the elected charges, included the Association President, or of cessation in the representation that he/she was commended by the University, the charge will be retired from that position to the one that was chosen by the AEPUM, since it has taken place as the university representative, the Association being constituted by public and private universities, or entities with legal characters, according to the article 1 of the Statutes. In such a situation, the charge will be considered vacant from the same moment in which a resignation or cessation has taken place in the representation of the respective university, proceeding in this case to implement the procedures foreseen in this Regulation for its substitution. 5.
