Quote:how many people actually attended the AGM of 2009?
I can't even begin to describe how much I'm staying out of this debate in general, but I think it's only fair to point out that - due at least in part to some reasonably contentious junior stuff (that all got resolved very amicably, as I recall, which was nice) - the 2009 AGM was actually very well-attended. Not sure how many attendees there were, off the top of my head, but I'd say at least 40-50, with not many fewer open proxies than that.
The vote in favour of the adoption of the Standards Code was genuinely pretty overwhelming, yes. It wasn't a case of proxies pushing it through: the motion had widespread support in the room.
