To John McNicholl
Hi again John, you asked:
“Oh, and how do you publish proxy vote totals before the vote is called for?”
I wrote:
“1. No need to take it as read John - the proposal suggests ‘on the CS website’ does it not?
2. Not the total number of proxy votes, the totals – John the proposal does say “Proxy vote totals shall be published”.
So yes, the totals for amendments and resulting effects on motions. Perhaps total votes outcomes of amendments would be better - thanks.”
Sorry John, I mistook your first question as being separate - about how they would be published. You didn’t mean that, of course!
But you then explain what you do mean – i.e., what totals?
My proposal says in the note:
“Day 21 Proxy votes in on the amended proposals.”
and says
“Proxy vote totals shall be published (eg on the CS Noticeboard) at least one day before the meeting.”
You are asking, is it just
(i) the total number of proxy votes,
(ii) the number of proxies for each amendment ,
(iii) the number of proxies for and against each motion
My response:
(i) Already answered – no, motion says totals.
(ii) There aren’t really proxies FOR amendments as people are voting electronically and have a week to see them. If there were some small number of these for some reason they would be of little interest. So, no.
(iii) Yes that’s what I meant.
The main thing I was trying to achieve is a clean, final vote on clear proposals (that are free from any further amendments in advance of the meeting) with any counts known to everyone.
Thanks for input.
Cheers
