Nay: if the board elects another chair the CFO has to go to Elections AB and explain...
Yea: whoever chairs the meeting doesn’t matter. Can’t it just suggest to share best practice?
Not sure how this will go in the end ...
GR-17
Change election terms for continuity

Change election terms for continuity
(One year and two year terms next election because it’s supposed to have half elected each year)
Nay: what if no one steps up?
Yea: this is basically copied from the federal party and it’s good
Nay: we need to ensure qualified people can run and be compliant with Elect AB

YeaNay: absentee directors, you’ll have an election for any missing directors anyway...

GR-18
Allowing use of technology, not require unanimous consent to move motions - and shouldn’t have to sign if they disagree
Nay: CFO has to sign, need to make changes
Nay: quorum requirement is high, mostly only directors show up, shouldn’t have to notify everyone always

GR-19
To prevent the board from electing themselves. Solution: require 20 people at least 10 not already on the board
Nay: unnecessary restriction
Yea: but if we as a CA can’t get a reasonable quorum out for board elections, we’ve failed as CAs

Nay: in the future maybe we can’t get quorum but for all general meetings this seems extreme
Yea: the party at all levels, I trust them all but they could become self-serving - applies only to AGMs not all meetings
Nay: I can bring my family and still ensure I’m elected

Yea: I don’t disagree the latter happens - it’s how we got some of our candidates last election. I’d make this quorum higher if I could but baby steps.

Cont.. Intention to seek candidacy
Nay: candidates can be a part of the board. Will still have to recruit outside of the board to win nomination. Not necessarily an advantage
Yea: each director should sign disclosure and code of conduct

Nay: if I’ve had too much bourbon one night and say maybe I’d like to run, I have to resign? No.
Yea: as a candidate you have to sign non-disclosure and code of conduct, as directors go, there’s the opportunity for advantage to know about election/candidacy info

Clarification: it’s a perception of non-neutrality of the board and it would be a public announcement of intent to run, not a side comment
Rebuttal: over 30 CAs were involved with this. Please support

GR-22 FINAL RESOLUTION!
Add an appendix as a guide to roles and responsibilities that CAs can adopt or not.
Nay: while a guide is helpful, I don’t think it needs to be included in governance documents, too hard to amend.

Yea: do it
Nay: we should treat this document as laws. Don’t add it to the document.
Rebuttal - no it’s a deferment: speaker defers to previous speaker.
