Jimmy, I think you hit the nail on the head when you said ” the argument has always been that it’s hard enough to get unqualified people to stand for committees, without expecting them to turn up at evening classes and get a piece of paper with their name inscribed on it. “
Especially for small stratas it is not so much of formal qualifications as people not being transparent and following common sense and courtesy (not being so common these days).
Do we need a cutoff like the old definition of a small strata (it used to me from memory less than a 100 owners)? I would say 50 would be better.
