17 Election of executive committee
(1) At a meeting of an owners corporation at which its executive committee is to be elected, the chairperson must:
(a) announce the names of the candidates already nominated in
writing for election to the executive committee, and
(b) call for any oral nominations of candidates eligible for election to the executive committee.
(2) A written or oral nomination made for the purposes of such an election is ineffective if it is made by a person other than the nominee unless it is supported by the consent of the nominee given:
(a) in writing, if the nominee is not present at the meeting, or
(b) orally, if the nominee is present at the meeting.
(3) After the chairperson declares that nominations have closed, the owners corporation is to decide, in accordance with clause 2 (2) of Schedule 3 to the Act, the number of members of the executive committee.
(4) If the number of candidates:
(a) is the same as, or fewer than, the number of members of the executive committee decided on—those candidates are to be
declared by the chairperson to be, and are taken to have been,
elected as the executive committee, or
(b) is greater than the number so decided on—a ballot is to be held.

Do I understand correctly that:
after the Nominations have been announced to the meeting
the meeting can then vote to limit the number on the Executive Committee to 2 persons
even if there has been only 3 Nominations ?
That is despite there being 3 Office-bearer positions in an EC:
Chairperson ; Treasurer ; Secretary ,
and allowing that 1 person may hold 2 or all 3 of the Office-bearer positions ,
can Owners by majority Vote in a Strata Plan with more than 50 and less than 100 Residential units refuse to allow 3 members , or more up to the maximum of 9 , in the EC
by voting to limit to 2 members ?
