Nearly 2015 the internet and has been with us for sometime now, I'm sure it's simple enough to do, the AGM could be shown as a webinar. so all could watch and listen.
Out here in the real world thats's what happens save people travelling all over the place and save the planet a bit.
Only a suggestion, then all have had the chance to vote than those able to attend.
Simplz!

If it's so simple why doesn't someone get on with working out how to do it and put in a proposal at the AGM? Could you have a webinar with a potential of 10,000 people in the discussion?
If someone just puts in a proposal to "allow online voting" without being able to say how it would be implemented, then there's no point proposing it in the first place.
One member, one vote, is this restricted to one section or can we all vote for every section whether we have any interest in it at all?
The committee (which particular committee is that?) can't set the motions, nor make any changes that aren't voted for at the AGM.
Maybe some day everyone will read the handbook they get with their membership, and not ignore when proposals are asked for, and maybe even turn up at the AGM. When that happens there would be no more threads moaning about rule changes that never happened because people would have gone out and done something about it instead of expecting someone to do it for them.
