ITP Constitution and Bylaws
The rules and principles of ITP are captured in the Constitution and Bylaws. These documents are extremely important to the governance, management and other functions of ITP and are protected by law.
Breaches of the Constitution or Bylaws by members are treated very seriously.
Note that these Rules refer to ITP by its legal name: Institute of IT Professionals New Zealand Inc
-
The Constitution of ITP establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of the Institute and its officers, and is the overall governing document the Institute operates under. No other rule, policy or procedure may breach the Constitution.
The Constitution may only be changed by a 2/3 majority vote at a Special General Meeting (SGM) called specifically to change the Constitution.

The Bylaws define many of the higher-level processes and policies for the correct and proper administration of ITP. The Bylaws may not breach the Constitution in any way and are modified only via a two-thirds majority vote of the National Board.
