AGM - Ianbrownlee - 26-10-2024
Now the AGM has been called can I be assured that all the executive committee, management board and council minutes will be published and up to to date no later than three weeks before the AGM.
.
I also wish to stand as an individual for council and have a proposer and seconder. Can anyone guide me as to procedure for myself and proposers as I don't see how in the policies or constitution how to do it.
Finally since Chess Scotland wont entertain AOCB how do submit a statement or question(s) at the AGM
RE: AGM - Jim Webster - 26-10-2024
Ian,
The Council Operating Procedure states
Section 8 - Powers of Council (extract)
The AGM will be informed of all appropriate decisions by Council.
additionally, The Constitution states
Section 14.3.1
Following approval by the appropriate Council, Board or Executive Committee meeting the minutes will be published within 4 weeks of the date of the meeting.
Since the Council Meeting was held on Tuesday 1st October any minutes (draft) should be published no later that 29th October to order to comply with the Constitution as stated above.
Only motions can be presented an AGM, proposed and seconded by CS members.
Appropriate questions however can be raised providing they are relevant to the proceedings and/or Agenda items
RE: AGM - amuir - 28-10-2024
My proposals:
1 The AGM should be in person, not on-line. Speaking robotically is not democratic.
2 All positions should be elected democratically. No-one should be appointed.
3 If someone wishes to stand they should not need a proposer or seconder. I would like to stand for International Director or an individual or some other position in order to have a fair election, but I am not going to bother getting these as I don't see the point. I don't see the point in sending my cv either. People don't read them.
