Having stirred this pot with my recipe for a secret website – here’s my take on the unsolicited email question, for what it’s worth.
1. Every owner in a strata plan has bought into membership of a corporation whether they like it or not, and I think that includes being able to be contacted by whatever means by other members of that group.
2. I think we should also insist on allowing recipients of unsolicited emails to say take me off your list (as you can with commercial emails).
3. However, I also think people who say “I don’t want to hear from any other owner about anything to do with my strata scheme” should lose the right to vote by proxy. Turn up at the meetings or read what people have to say – but don’t blindly give your votes to anyone who just happens to be in power – it distorts the whole system.
