I think it should be restricted to UK residents
Is there any reason for the restriction? Why not open it up but have a different membership fee for non-residents if it's going to cost more to post them stuff (unless everything can be done by email).
I expect everything can be done by email (we may need to add something to the articles of association saying that notification of AGMs, etc. can be electronic, I'm not sure what the standard definition of "notify" is).
- Voting will be via the approval system (5 highest winning; all elected
have to get >50% approval) (meta)
That might not be workable. Most of the people to the Foundation's Board of Trustees got less than 50%.
It may be worth removing that clause, I can't see it having much benefit - if we don't get at least 3 people with 50% support and have to have a new vote it's just going to waste time and there's no reason to believe a 2nd vote would be any more successful. I think the best of a bad lot is better than no-one at all at this stage.
