A small request for the pending minutes of the AGM; during the meeting
there was a count of hands of voting members, presumably to comply
with the Articles of Association with regard to the legally required
quorum. The final count was not read out, so I will be interested to
read that specific numb
Nicola (as teller) read out the total number all of the valid votes, which
were 57 (30 of them proxy votes submitted before the meeting). Cheers, Lucy

Thanks Lucy, I'm quite happy to wait until the members can read the
minutes. There's no expectation that replies to questions about
governance have to happen quickly, or need to be answered by the CEO
rather than our unpaid trustees, especially at the weekend.
The question of proxy votes is intere
You make many sensible points, Fae, thank you.
Probably the biggest issue for me is whether members are happy with resolutions
being passed with little more than 5% of the membership being present in the
room when the voting took place.
Of course, the other side of that coin is that the business
Hi all,As we are one of these hyper-modern charities which is part of a movement which has literally re-written the fundamentals of information management on a global scale, I do not think it would be immodest of us to explore approaches to digital democracy in keeping with our game-changing repu
Hi Rex,
Hope you are having a relaxed Sunday. A few in-line responses from one

Hi all,
As a long term member who didn't want to spend the time or money to travel to
London for the AGM (even with the associated events), I would be in favour of
some technologically enabled access - however unless there is something
controversial I happy to trust the trustees (and staff and
Hi all,
My thruppence:
1p: There are things that can be learnt from how WMF board elections are run,
and also elections for other UK charities. A clear process that lets members
cast votes online ahead of the AGM (instead of / in addition to proxy votes)
would be very good. Being able to parti
