The following resolutions were carried without dissent (I asked the Tellers).
The resolutions put forward to the AGM are at EGM 2013/Resolutions.
They are:
Resolution to set the number of Directors Resolution to alter the composition of the Board to introduce co-opted
Directors
Resolution to revise the Election Rules, replacing Approval Voting
with STV
Well, apart from my abstention (both in real life and virtually). I assume there were other abstentions?
Yes, they were passed without any opposes vote, but not every one of 200-something members voted.
Indeed. The voting record records the votes that were cast for/against/abstain, either in person or by proxy, with the number of voting members also recorded. If you want to abstain, then you need to vote that way, otherwise you're just absent.
Although in this case, the votes at the EGM weren't unanimous, see the minutes at: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EGM_2013/Minutes
Thanks, Mike

Just to clarify since I didn't notice it until Mike pointed it out. The AGM 2013 resolutions [1] were passed without opposition as I indicated before. The quoted resolutions were from the EGM 2013 which were passed with some opposition, with the exact number available on the page Mike linked to.

Many thanks. My mistake.

Yes, that is fine. Thanks Mike.
