I hope, Russell, that you aren't miffed at me concerning LUV. I carefully stayed out of the recent AGM vote and surrounding disputation for a number of reasons, geography not least among them. (I merely offered the lessons of SVLUG's experience so that maybe someone can benefit from them.)
Rick you cited some legal cases in the discussion, looking up such legal records takes some work. Also you have a history of answering questions on the mailing list. So I don't have any problem with your actions in regard to this issue, it wouldn't have concerned me if you had cast a proxy vote even if it was against the motion.

It may be obvious to some, however perhaps worth mentioning that you don't need to be on the committee in order to help LUV.
http://etbe.coker.com.au/2013/09/04/ownership-of-a-club/ In my speech in favor of the motion I described some ways that members can help out. Also the last and largest section of the above post describes ways that people can help out. As an aside, we had some discussion on this list about how people want regional meetings etc. Now that we've had the election and we can talk about finance for any meetings that are arranged such discussions seem to have gone quiet. I get the impression that the regional people in question are happy to ask us to arrange things for them, but not so willing to arrange a meeting - even though the effort of preparing lectures and attending the meeting to give them will probably be greater than that of the locals who arrange it. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
