That has already been done to the extent that it has been possible to do, aiui.
If you've given notice members, why haven't you given it on this mailing list? Has a date, time and venue been set, then? If so, what is it?
I was expecting that to take place at the AGM itself, but we can start the process now if people prefer. It may be best to wait until we have a list of people standing so we know to what extent the positions are contested. If there aren't more candidates than seats, then people just need enough information to make sure the person isn't worse than having the seat vacant, if there are more then people need enough information to make a choice between candidates. People can, of course, ask questions at the AGM if they want more info.
um, No. There is a process required (WER is a Limited company and has to follow the Articles of Association) and my earlier post made that clear. There is nothing about what "people prefer" about it, nor is there an option for people to "wait until [there is] a list". In all cases - as with the initial setup of the company and subsequent AGMs - all candidates have to make themselves known and detail their experience, etc. up front. As with any Limited company one can't leave such things until the AGM itself as (as previously detailed!) the candidate information has to be distributed in advance.
I have the Articles open in front of me. It appears notice has to be given of names, I see nothing about experience. The "Why you should vote for me" stuff can, from what I can tell, be conducted at the AGM.
