Hi Michael Yet another problem of course The articles 27.2 (4) allow for electronic voting but the proxy would have to be in the same form as the written proxy - thus all you would have been able to do is give yet another vote to the chairman to do as he saw fit... Of course what could also have happened, now that the Society has this wonderful contact management system..... is send out to all members by email a copy of the proxy. I am surprised it didn't happen with this form of proxy as such it would have given even more power to the chairman to lavish is patronage on those candidates he wanted as trustees - mind you thinking to do this would though have had to have been a strong point............ Yes I am being cynical The articles were changed in 2009 to supposedly make a more democratic society but what price democracy when the chairman is able to outvote all members attending the AGM Alec At 01:26 07/07/2011, you wrote: >Today, 7th.
