Directors' reports

[Phil Thomas]

However I do not accept Jim's implied suggestion that it is necessary to have a question poised at the Council meeting in order to have the constitution followed.

I did not imply such a thing.

I simply said that if there is a pressing need for a question to be raised to the directors, and a council meeting is impending, an alternative solution is available which is formally answered and recorded in minutes.

Derek quite rightly points out that not everybody reads minutes of proceedings, and the same is true of the forum.

There may well be the case for creating a place on the website (but NOT the forum) for formal questions raised and when responded to.

Not necessarily the actual question (but I don't see why not), more a log showing:-
* question raised, when and by whom,
* date passed to director,
* expected date of response and by which director,
* date item closed

This may well bring an openness that some people desire.

JIm,

OK change the key word from from imply to infer.
That is to say your words created unintended extrapolations in my mind.

I see nothing strange in my inference though.

An Interesting method you propose for directors responding to questions.

Did you or do you intend putting this forward to the next agm as a proposal?
Because publishing it on this notice board is unlikely to lead to directors taking action. As somebody posted recently "there is no formal requirement for Directors to respond to forum posts".
