2) Last time electronic voting was used, one *had* to vote within a 15 minute window of opportunity. If you missed it, then you couldn't vote.
This is actually required by local law, which requires attendees / voters to be able to fully follow the meeting and discussions.
Thanks for the quick reply. The one item that still rankles me is the one above. Does this mean that any company listed on AEX and has a shareholders meeting - everyone has to be online at the time to vote? I suggest this issue be rechecked. Can anyone familiar with AMS-IX comment on their news item: http://www.ams-ix.net/ ------------------------- 14 October 2010, e-voting is back at AMS-IX In 2005, when the Dutch law allowed electronic voting officially, AMS-IX was quick to adopt an e-voting process. Any useful Internet based application, of course, is encouraged by AMS-IX. We checked with our lawyers at the time, who confirmed we could e-vote since we allowed any other means of voting, as it was now officially allowed and as Dutch law is quite pragmatic. Together with a company called Netvote, who at that time were the only ones with a ready notary approved electronic voting platform, we set up an AMS-IX dedicated environment. We used it satisfactory until end of last year. ------------------------- They too require you to be online at the time? Regards, Hank
