    Yes you are correct about the lack of details.

    6 Notice of executive committee meetings
    (1) ………
    (3) The notice must specify when and where the meeting is to be held and contain a detailed agenda for the meeting.

    AND

    15 Minute of certain resolutions to be included in executive committee’s minutes
    The executive committee must cause to be included in its minutes a minute of all resolutions passed in accordance with this Schedule.

    Cl 6 says, “The notice must” ….. AND cl 15 says “the EC must ….”

    From The Owners – Strata Plan No 70798 v Bakkante Constructions Pty Limited (NSWSC)  Before: J Pembroke

    83 ….. ‘Must’ means ‘must’. It is an imperative – expressing necessity, obligation and compulsion. There is no halfway house; no reason for attempting to ameliorate the outcome because of the particular consequences in a given case ……..

    If you end up at CTTT then seek out this case and use it.
    The must Pembroke was dealing with is from s80 but why should must mean anything less when used elsewhere in the Act.
    So if the Act says must, or must not,  we are now clear on the meaning of the meaning of must.
