Slicendice, you mention the AGM.
If you want to put forward any motions for the AGM, I suggest you get your skates on.
Cunning agents and committees like to thwart anyone who wants to provide motions. They do this by not formally
asking for motions before they issue the agenda for the AGM. In many cases the first many owners hear of an AGM is when they find the agenda for the meeting in the mail.
By then the barn door has long closed. No opportunity exists for you to provide a motion(s) for that meeting.
So I suggest you assume an AGM or a general meeting may be called at any time without advanced notice to owners to submit motions. Hence, I recommend that you forward, as soon as possible, to the committee and agent all the motions you want listed. That way it’ll be impossible for them to exclude them from the agenda on the basis of you sent them after the agenda was already prepared.
If at a later date your issues are resolved, you can always withdraw your motions before the agenda is prepared or if it is already prepared and your motions are listed, you can withdraw them at the meeting.
Best of luck!
