You could both be correct, but my “understanding” (ref. post #2) of what will apply when the new Act commences was based on past experience with drafting the technical aspects of new Legislation in NSW where, save the influence of so-called “interested parties”, new provisions don’t usually require actions by affected parties such as Owners Corporations then formed to immediately re-shuffle their deck chairs and to change operational procedures in order to achieve compliance from day one.
That is why I interpreted “act as members……” as being a reference to Sch.3 of the current Act where at Cl.3 a person may with the consent of the E/C “act” as a member in place of another who cannot personally attend a Meeting.
So I assumed that upon commencement of the new Act the status-quo could apply to matters such as the composition of already elected / appointed E/Cs and to the form of current Strata Management Agency Agreements until the next planned General Meeting (AGM), unless of course individual Owners Corporations such as that for JC’s Plan wanted to then convene a General Meeting (EGM) in order to achieve earlier compliance.
Then again, I too could have misinterpreted and maybe none of us will know how the new Act will be applied until it is (Law), but let’s all hope that very little will be open to interpretation by the N.C.A.T.
