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?
Maybe because, self-evidently, this list is not a valid means of advising members nor restricted to members! I am waiting on confirmation of location and timing from the Secretary; the consideration re notice period was regarding an 'if required' status.
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.
And I, as Chair, am advising this list - as possible members-by-that-date - that I expect to be notifying members of the full details of candidates in advance as, indeed, do most companies from what I have seen of AGM notices, etc. Yes, *additional* questions may be asked from the floor but a description/statement by a (possible) candidate in advance is expected and, in this case, required.
