The proxy attach could conceivably be thwarted by requiring n individual members - they could possibly register their support for an agenda item ahead of the actual AGM. >Having said that, I would rather see the direct member suggestion of >agenda items be left to significant events, ones that can get sufficient >backing. The more usual route would be to ask the Executive Board to >place items on the agenda -- either through this list or through direct >lobbying of the EB. We vote the board in as our representatives, and we Do Not Like. This harbours the possibility of a "golden circle" of "Friends Of The Board" with access vs those who don't have that access. I've seen that in national politics often enough. rgds, Sascha Luck
