Reminder - Membership Amendments meeting Thursday evening

02/27/2013

The Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission would like to remind the community that the third Community Consultation on amendments to the Kahnawà:ke Membership Law is scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday, 28 Enníska/February). The meeting will take place from 6pm to 8:30pm at the Karonhianónhnha School Gymnasium and will utilize the Community Decision Making Process.

Consensus was reached on 29 Tsothohrkó:wa/January, at which time it was agreed that the law needed amendment.

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke’s (MCK) Membership Department will present a suggested list of major subject areas of the Law to discuss for potential amendments. Community members will also have the opportunity to suggest other possible amendments.

Should consensus be reached on the amendments, a working group that includes community representatives will be created and the process for drafting the actual amendments will begin. Should consensus fail to be reached, another Community Consultation will be scheduled.

Relevant documents and information are available at the Membership Office, located at the Social Development Unit at the Services Complex. Additionally, please feel free to contact the Membership Registrar directly or visit the Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission website at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com.
