Mr.Masters
I desire to move that we immediately form a Federal Executive of the
Wirel
less Institute of Australia. This is, I believe, the main item of the
Agenda
Paper. To form a Federal Executive, we must have uniformity of the
various
constitutions of the States. As far as the Federal Executive is
concerned,

consisting of a President, Secretary and
Treasurer, and a board comprised of one member from each
division"
The motion was seconded by Mr.Fysh , and carried.
Mr.Masters proposed that executive officers be elected each year by the
Federal Convention, and that all three officers should reside in the
one state.The motion was seconded by Mr.Phipps, and carried.
Next consideration was the venue for the next convention. Mr.Masters
moved that it be held in Sydney "next year, about July" partly because
of the expense incurred in coming all that way to W.A.but also "if we
hold it in Sydney next year, we may have a chance of bringing in
Queensland - Mr.Malone said to me "I don't care what you do else, but
put a bomb under Queensland! " (actual quote from the report) "To get
Queensland to attend the next convention would, I think, be very
desirable."
Mr.Masters, being of the opinion that the executive offices should be
at the seat of Government, because of the speed with which
important decisions and consultation with government might be acheived
in an emergency, his motion was agreed to.
Mr.Stowe nominated MR.PHIL RENSHAW 2DE as President ( He had,
apparently, been very influential in having this, the 2nd WIA
Convention, held in Perth.)
Mr.Stevens nominated MR.STOWE as Treasurer, seconded by Mr.Phipps.
It was decided to leave the selection of Secretary in the hands of the
President and Treasurer to deal with on Mr.Stowe's return to NSW.
no.24 Mr.Masters moved, seconded by Mr,Fysh,
"That the official International Language be ESPERANTO.
Mr.Stowe moved, seconded Mr.Coxon,
that 'the conference recommends the adoption in Australia of th
KILOCYCLE rating, instead of the Wavelength rating...
