Thanks Dech – I sometimes think that I try too hard in my efforts to make our General Meeting Agendas comprehensive and informative, in part to avoid problems of the type that you’ve referred to in your post.
A preamble to every Motion and copies of all job specs. resulted in an 18 page Agenda last year, and this year’s is heading in the same direction!
The on-line electronic voting software that I’m going to use allows for attachments to each Motion (like the financial statements, quotes, job specs etc), so I’m hopeful that those of my Proprietors who never attend despite the free BBQ, and never submit a Proxy, will read the hard-copy Agenda and the paperless attachments to the on-line software, and PARTICIPATE!
I’d be interested to receive some FlatChat about the legality of what I’m doing, in circumstances where on-line votes would only be used if a quorum was achieved at the Meeting in accordance with the Act.
If this doesn’t get a significant response, I’m back to that dummy motion to double the Contributions
