- the registration fee for the hybrid Round Table Europe is EUR 60.00 plus 21% VAT
- 2) We had a discussion about clarifying new quorum rules that was never resolved. # If a quorum of 4 present board members is not met, decisions require an unanimous vote. (At least 3 members of the board need to be voting for a decision to be valid.) (The Board voted against this rule in the Nov.19, 2018 meeting. It is slated to be replaced by a new rule that is pending.) We also have delegated your vote if you are not present. Members who are not present should write I delegate my vote to {insert name} or whoever you wish. You can also delegate your vote to any alternate present, etc.
- 3) Amendment of following rule point 5:
- Original Text:
- Board members not present at the meeting can vote on a proposal published in the provisional agenda or Loomio PPI Board by citing the proposal and expressing their vote in an e-mail sent to board@pp-international.net (postal vote) or casting a vote in Loomio. The Loomio and postal votes shall be added to the votes cast at the meeting if the proposals are exactly the same. The Loomio and postal votes shall be mentioned in the provisional agenda and can be superseded by subsequent email, a change to the Loomio vote or by a vote cast at the meeting.
- Modified Text:
- Board members not present at the meeting can vote on a proposal by citing the proposal and expressing their vote in an e-mail sent to board@pp-international.net (postal vote). The votes shall be added to the votes cast at the meeting if the proposals are exactly the same. The votes shall be mentioned in the provisional agenda and can be superseded by subsequent email or by a delegated vote cast at the meeting.
- Proposal: Clarify the rules of proceedure for the board.
- Point 5a:
| Motion | |
|---|---|
| |
*
:5.5. Board members may delegate their vote to another specific board member, or they may delegate their vote to an alternate board member. The most senior ranking alternate board member will take the first delegated vote, and each additional delegated vote will be given to the next in line. No alternate board member can hold more than one delegated vote. All board members who cannot attend should delegate their vote in advance.
