Self Nomination? I nominate myself for Secretary… however, I can’t be at the AGM. DOH!
Can you put me down for electronic voting?

#9

We’ve always allowed self-nomination. The constitution says there must be a nominator and a seconder, and they must be two different society members, but it doesn’t specify that the nominator can’t be the candidate.

Not sure how consistent we’ve been on the nominations and seconds having to be presented to the Secretary in writing. We’ve always treated online nominations were informal though - indications that the person intends to formally nominate.

The constitution could do with some friendlifying for the modern age. It inherits many clauses from constitutions written in an age where everything was done in person or by writing on paper.

#10

That’s good to know; we weren’t too sure.

Well, if its at the meeting, it can just be written down on the spot anyway. But the need to collect bits of compressed vegetable matter marked with scratchings of graphite is a bit weird in an internet society.

#11

How long is the AGM going to take, what’s the best guess?
Cause I really ought to be training for the single-sword tournament in two weeks.
