A follow-up question:Once the requisition agenda has been sent to the Sectrerary can the motions included in the requsition be changed, or new ones added, by a member of the OC or by the EC?
Can the EC, having received the requisition, then decide to add motions of its own for consideration at the EGM.
Or, must the agenda be presented as is at the EGM?
Thanks
Can the motions be changed?
Yes; the motions can be changed on the day (at the meeting) by a motion to allow the motion to be amended but the motion cannot be amended to the point it becomes what could be considered a new motion.
A motion to amend the motion is put to the meeting and the meeting discusses the proposed amendment and then votes to accept or decline the amendment. If accepted the amended motion is then put to the meeting and voted on, if the proposed amendment fails then the original motion is voted on in its original form.
Can the EC add to the agenda?
The EC*, as a collective, cannot add to the agenda because the EC are not a person BUT any person can add to the agenda (provided they will be eligible to vote at the meeting) as long as the addition is made prior to the EC sending the notices for the meeting.
* In Qld the Act specifically states the EC can submit motions but in NSW the Act is clear who can submit motions and “the EC” does not qualify. If the EC was allowed to submit motions in NSW then non financial owners who are EC members and people not on the strata roll (both fairly common EC members in some SPs) could have an avenue to submit motions and if that is going to be the case then the Act might as well say any old Joe can submit a motion, no restrictions.
