[members-discuss] RIPE NCC Charging Scheme 2025 Open House: Recording and Slides Available

*Dear Martin,Yes, indeed, it’s possible for members to propose agenda
topics with resolutions to be voted on. The relevant section of the
Articles of Association is Art. 15.6, which I copy below. If this is
something any of the members wish to use, we can look at providing a
mechanism to collect the signatures of those who support a particular
agenda topic and resolution proposed by a member. It would need signatures
from 2% of members who could potentially vote at the GM. This would be
close to 400 (2% of ~20,000 members). I hope this helps.Best
regards,Fergal15.6 On the application In Writing of a group of Members who
are jointly entitled to cast at least two percent (2%) of the total number
of possible votes, other subjects will be added to the agenda. Such an
application, accompanied by the verbatim text of the resolutions proposed
by the said Members, shall have to be sent to the Executive Board at least
two weeks before the Meeting.The Executive Board shall immediately send the
verbatim text of the resolutions proposed by the said Members to all the
Members of the Association.15.7 The General Meeting may only vote on
resolutions with respect to subjects for which the verbatim text of the
related proposed resolutions has been sent to the Members in the manner set
out above.*
