An EGM was called by the Auditor in 2008 to reform and modernise committee structure, and AGM procedures. Following a debate on the issue, a motion was passed by a substantial majority, where the members agreed to elect the following positions directly at a properly convened AGM: Auditor, Vice Auditor, Treasurer, Recording Secretary, Debates Secretary, Schools Convenor, Internal Convenor, External Convenor and Literary Convenor. The Auditor was then able to appoint between four and twelve ordinary committee members to the committee, whereas ordinary members, deputy schools convenors and the social secretary must be elected at an extraordinary general meeting at present.
