Correct, but the question is: is it ok for the option to reject the proposed resolution to be missing ? If it is ok, it means that the membership can be forced to adopt any resolution, just by having various similar options. This is a loophole that could be exploited for nefarious purposes. If not, the vote as proposed is invalid. To be clear: my intention is not to promote a rejection of the charging scheme. This is a more general concern. I find very suspicious to see a resolution proposal that can't be rejected, in the general meeting of a membership-based association. Sebastien Brossier On 11/04/2024 12:39, Fergal Cunningham wrote:
Dear Sebastien,
According to Article 18.3 of the Articles of Association, if a proposed resolution contains various options, the method of instant run-off voting is used, as described in the same article (similar to the elections of EB members).

Hi,
Is this even legal, wrt the articles of association ? Holding a vote to adopt an item, without a reject option.
