<div>Fergal,</div>

<div>Would you not require a majority vote
on each item for it to be adopted?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If for example, we have 1,000 members
registered to vote, but 950 of them abstained from voting on the
charging scheme, surely you could not in good conscious pass any
of the options?</div>

<div>And although the Abstains are recorded, they don't count
towards the results of the vote. Only the preferential choices
count towards the result. And it's worth pointing out that for
the charging scheme vote, members can vote for all three
options in order of preference, or they can choose just one or
two options. </div>

Actually, I have no clue on what to vote at next GM regarding
the<br>
charging scheme. None of the proposal is OK with what I would
like to<br>
see.<br>
<br>
I hope the abstain option will be taken into consideration. I
wouldn't<br>
like not to vote, as my opinion won't be reflected if I simply
do not<br>
vote.<br>
