dan – the EGM is a good back-stop in the circumstances, but if you think that your Executive Committee (E/C) will be unable to make a recommendation at the AGM, then if it’s not too late, why not change your Motion to include the name of the Strata Management Company who you believe should be appointed?
In that way, if the E/C actually puts forward an opinion, or other owners have one, and they’re different from yours, then the Motion can be amended at the Meeting, and be resolved accordingly if that’s the majority vote.
That’s quite acceptable, as the objective of the Motion is to terminate the Strata Manager, and who the Meeting resolves to replace them with is secondary.
Remember, that Owners who provide proxies to the Meeting must nominate how they want their vote to be exercised on a Motion to terminate the services of the Strata Manager; any proxy forms that don’t show that are invalid for that Motion – that may or may not work in your favour but in any case keep lobbying
