15 UO6 Regional Events to National CampaignsCongress NotesMany USI Campaigns and their launches are located in Dublin due to its accessibility for MOs, Media and Politicians. Congress also notesThis can remove a regional and local focus from national campaigns Congress therefore mandatesThe USI VP Campaigns, VP BMW and VP for Southern Region to co-ordinate local and regional campaigns events to compliment national campaigns, where appropriate. Amendment submitted by the VP BMW:Replace clause ‘Congress therefore mandates’ with: Congress therefore mandatesThe USI VP Campaigns, VP for Welfare, VP BMW and VP for Southern Region to co-ordinate local and regional campaigns events to compliment national campaigns, where appropriate. 15 UO7 USI Election ProcessCongress NotesThat information in relation to procedures around running for a position on Officer Board is not readily available to Member Organisations and that ambiguity around the regulations and election procedure could discourage potential candidates from running. Congress Further NotesThat currently there is no limitation on spending for Officer Board campaigns. This may create uncertainty around the financial implications of running for an Officer Board position and work to further discourage potential candidates. Congress therefore mandatesUSI Officer Board to make regulations and procedures relating to Officer Board elections readily available to Member Organisations before commencement of the 2015/2016 Academic Year. Congress further mandatesAll of Officer Board to introduce a spending limit of €350 for all campaign materials 15 UO8 Supporting Student MediaCongress recognisesThe fantastic work being done by student journalists and student media in Ireland. Congress notesThat USI brought back one edition of The Voice magazine which was distributed in Freshers’ packs in 2014. Congress believesThat USI could do more to support student journalism and student media. Congress mandatesThe USI President to organise a meeting in a central location and invite all USI members working in student media and all USI members who are editors of student publications to attend. This meeting will serve as a networking event for student media and will allow USI officers to flag the timeline of national events for the year with student media. This meeting should take place before September 30th each year. Congress also mandatesThe USI President to develop an online version of ‘The Voice’. This will act as a centralised hub and showcase for student media and will allow student journalists to share articles, blogs, videos, and podcasts. The website will be maintained and updated by USI. The website will also contain information on media awards and media grants that students can apply for. 15 UO9 Promotional PacksCongress Notes:That the USI distribute thousands of promotional packs for campaigns including and not limited to SHAG Week , Mental Health Week , Fresher Packs etc. Congress Further Notes:That MO’s have no knowledge of the cost involved and the unit pricing of such packs. Congress Believes:That communication is vital in the deliverance and pricing of such packs onto MO campuses Congress Mandates:The USI President and related Officer board members to release itemised cost analysis of all materials distributed to MOs for Campaigns/SHAG Week/Mental Health Week etc . 15 UO10 DUBLIN STUDENT BALLCongress notes:That when done effectively, Students’ Union events can be a great social window for students and an introduction into the wider SU identity. Congress also notes:That there is great scope for collaboration among SUs that are in close proximity to one another, and that a common identity among students in Dublin could be useful.
