Can't help but ask why?

Toll and parking companies seem to manage to get away with it.

Brisbane has two runways, best to brief for both.

Liable up to the set amount which I believe is $1?

Would one of those emergency "axe" work to break the canopy and get out?

So is there actually someone who missed out on nominating because the rules wasn't followed?

I'm not sure the CEOs plan of 3year and 2yesr term directors is legit either, who ever comes 4th and 5th may want to read clause 36.3

Welcome back Don

No different then people suggesting on this site which are the "top" pick candidates, personally I don't see a problem with clubs or schools making suggestions.

Primary paint means no transponder, the radar has picked up a targe but has no information as to its altitude or ident.

Lied because they didn't tell you an option to vote No would have meant we stayed the same as before... Let's give members some credit on being able to make their own decisions. The CEO pushed the yes vote because he believes it's our best way forward, that's what he is pad for. Not to give every option under the sun but the best! Now can we move on from the past and elect a new board?

One could also argue it was the CEO and Presidents job to present the best course of action to the members, either way it's done. Those who are serious about change are standing for election, the rest I guess will sit here and judge over the next 12 months.

I don't think the change to the constitution requires the board to agree with it, it was up to the members and that decision has been made.

He has a degree in Taxation Law, so maybe we are both right?

Not sure a lawyer, accountant maybe?

Wouldn't an initial director only resign from the start of the AGM? I'd have to have another read and haven't been following since cancelling my membership but I don't remember a director having to resign to nominate?

How can one be in "reduced VMC". It's either VMC or it's not! I think having a radio would be the least of your worries if your in the latter.

So your control services are terminated and your frequency change approved :)

I don't work at either but I'd say if they haven't asked to you report.. Don't. Sometimes when it's quite asking you to report prompts us for next action (i.e. Your next tracking.) I should add, if unsure speak up better to do too much than not enough :)

Under the new constitution the members have the option to vote on "titled" positions. For example if the board decided they needed more legal exposure they could call for nominations from members with a legal background. It's then up to the members to vote between those who put up their hands. Now it's possible for someone without the legal background to nominate and be elected, but then the blame falls squarely at the members as its what as a collective they decided was more important. Isn't this the way it should be? The members getting the advice from the board and then making the decision? You'll now need more votes to get elected than before due to the smaller number of positions vacant at each election (could be as low as 2).

I don't believe it's what the company has in mind, I assume they will do the normal postal vote, however it is permissible under constitution and Corp law. I don't see a great member revolt, only about 5-10% actually bother to vote in elections anyway, most likely the same members who go to the AGMs or nominate proxies. If a member informed the board of a resolution to bring the board size to 7, surely they won't call for nominations for only 2 positions, knowing full well another election will need to be held straight after. Let's leave this here because it's really a moot point until after the weekends meeting and we have a decision one way or the other.

Directors are voted and appointed all the time at company AGMs. All members are entitled to attend the AGM or assign someone else their proxy. I don't think you'd be able to argue fairness just because a member doesn't attend the AGM.

All our constitution states of the issue No timeframe is mentioned. The Corporation's Act (and supported by Clause 27.6) allows a member to raise a member's resolution at the meeting, with no prior notice required.

I don't think Don and Co were of the opinion that they were using the casual vacancy rule to bring the number of directors to 5. I believe some confusion lies to what the special resolution is asking for and what the constitution requires. Don said he was investigating making the "planned" general meeting actually our first AGM. I'd need to take another read, but I don't believe calling of nominations have a time period. That is nominations could be called for at the AGM and the election take place immediately... not what I would desire but it does appear to be what the constitution had in mind (elections taking place at the AGM rather then just the announcing of the results)

I'm saying you could pass a resolution at the meeting prior to the election telling the board they need to conduct the election to bring the board to 7. Assuming at least 4 people have stood for election, the same election that was planned would happen but the top 4 instead of the top 2 would be elected.
