The Board of Directors of General Practice Network NT Ltd (GPNNT) recommend to members of the company, that they:

1. wind up GPNNT at a time convenient to GPNNT and
2. support the GPNNT Board in its endorsement of a proposed Constitution of the NT Medicare Local that will;

• enable GPNNT’s existing membership (and anyone who in the future complies with its requirements for membership) to apply for membership in the NT MEDICARE Local as a special category of member (GPNNT Category of Member),
• ensure that existing membership (and future persons complying with GPNNT current requirements for membership) are granted membership to the GPNNT Category of Members ‘as of right’,
• enable GPNNT Category of Members to exercise as a collective the ‘vote’ that each of the other Foundation Members has in the NT Medicare Local.
