…A simple guide on how to conduct a strata meeting and a reasonable set of non-compulsory standing orders would give the many, many newcomers in strata – and more than a few rusted-on committee members – an idea of how the meeting should be run…
While not a simple set of rules in half a dozen dot points, our OC did resolve at its first general meeting in the mid-1970s to adopt Joske’s book on meeting procedure to be the rules of conduct of our meetings. A few years ago we bought a copy in both electronic form and hard copy. The former lets at least the EC members browse a copy and the latter gives the chair something to thump onto the table at appropriate moments. The latest edition has a section on specific requirements of various states’ strata acts.
