Apathy is endemic in Strata Plans, and that's made worse when most of the Units are tenanted.
As Secretary of a 27 Lot self-managed Plan, every AGM Agenda that I prepare includes a front-page plea for attendance, and still I'm continually e-mailing our 23 non-resident owners to encourage participation or to obtain their proxies and voting instructions in advance of our Meetings.
Most e-mails are never responded to (not even a read-receipt), but thus far, with personal attendance by E/C Members, I've held sufficient proxies to reach a quorum and to hold the Meetings; just.
There are days when I wonder why I bother, and right now as the date for our AGM approaches, I'm contemplating whether to use trickery in order to elicit attendance by placing an Item on the Agenda to increase the Levies by some outlandish percentage, or to do/say nothing, then adjourn the Meeting and reconvene 7 days later to resolve to pass everything.
I don't think there's a solution to this problem, but if there is I'd like to read it.
