Indeed. It's also an opportunity (assuming the resolution fails) to review the rules regarding membership and voting arrangements.
I would argue that it's fairer to the members in general if we sort the membership and voting out *before* we vote whether or not to wind up the association. I note that if we do vote to wind up LUV then "the property of the association vests in the Registrar" (according to the current 2012 act) and it looks like they appoint who disposes of them.
For example, I would expect a digital signature to be accepted as attesting to the authenticity of a proxy form, but there is no provision for this, and I'm not sure how Victorian law currently stands in this respect. (Digital signatures were an issue in Australia some years ago, but I didn't follow the details of how the legal concerns were resolved.)
Our rules allow the committee leeway on what to accept, they say: # "form" includes an electronic form where the signature is replaced by # appropriate validation;
In any case, I digitally signed the form that I submitted in order to remove any doubts.
Same here. cheers! Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
