    What should I tell a committee member who wants an agenda item: That the strata committee discuss any further items of business that attendees wish to raise at the meeting and resolve how those will be dealt with at a later meeting (noting that depending on the nature of the item, it may not be able to be resolved at the meeting)

    Clearly someone is trying to get round the fact that you can’t discuss anything that’s not on the agenda when you can’t have “any other business” as an agenda item. This person’s mistake is to include a motion with the word “resolve” in it.

    There’s nothing wrong with having a general discussion after the end of the meeting  provided no vote is taken.

    A competent motion might be “This meeting agrees to hold a discussion following the end of the meeting, open to all residents, during which items for future meetings can be canvassed although no vote will be taken.”
