Thank you. That’s a great response. I suggest there is an unavoidable distinction between members and stakeholders but I agree that both need to...
It's a genuine question! As a charity trustee what do you believe being accountable to a charity's members means in practice?
Sorry Steve, that’s unjustified. The original comment 0n this thread was about the conduct of an AGM and in particular the use of a Q&A session to...
Not at all! I’d be in the vanguard of arguing for communication and involvement but there’s also a lot of misunderstanding about what it means to...
That's a bit hard Tom. I gave one example where the trustees would be bound to do things which the members almost certainly would not want to see...
Agreed, but as a charity trustee you will know there are limits on the extent to which it's possible to go beyond the legal minimum. For instance...
It's not surprising that it doesn't feel like its owned by the members because as a charity it's not. The members of an incorporated charity...
I doubt that 35B and I are sparring on this topic. We're both in favour of effective communication and fairness as between those members/...
I find that implied criticism odd when the post was a general observation about meetings that supported the use of Q &A sessions for better...
As you say the ideal is for an open question and answer session after the formal agenda of the meeting has been completed. The trouble is that is...
Or you can go the whole hog and use a mix of postal and electronic votes independently audited so that all general meeting resolutions offer the...
And unless there is an express provision to the contrary in the articles shareholders do not have the right to inspect minutes of board meetings...
I suggest that it's not just the NYMR that has concluded that the days have gone of generating a surplus from the farebox and secondary spend...
Of course, but that's not the point. Both would have, to differing degrees, reason for their loss that might colour their judgement. Both...
Perhaps what this interesting exchange has indicated is that the nature of heritage railways means they are riven by varying degrees of inherent...
I'm surpised that you're so dismissive of the loss of the opportunity to volunteer. As a working volunteer on two railways it would, for me, be a...
Surely the point is that whoever is seeking to strong arm a trustee knows that their ability to do so for an employee with contractual rights is...
Unless they are volunteers directors are normally employees.
Precisely! That specific guidance is about potential conflict of loyalty ( in effect duty) to another organsation the individual works for....
No that's not the line I'm suggesting at all. All the WSRA Trustees needed to do was to satisfy themselves that their decision making complied...
