In this email I'm going to ignore the fact that our annual meetings
have shifted to different dates within the year. <br>

If SR1 passes and SR2 does not pass, they have a total term limit of
4 years - some of which will have already accumulated.<br>
<br>
If SR2 passes and they have not served as a director for at least as
long as they had served, it is as if they had not served in the past
for the purpose of term limits.<br>

There are two General Meetings under discussion. One is the one
happening soon, as required by the members resolution Simon has
assembled. If we hold this or not isn't something really worth
discussing - the Companies Act requires it be held within 14 to 49
days of when the resolution is turned in to the board.<br>
<br>
There is no election at this meeting, just voting on the two special
resolutions that implement term limits and allow them to reset after
time not serving as a director, and the ordinary resolution calling
for a GM with an election in 45 to 90 days after the upcoming GM.<br>
<br>
Why are you against the special resolutions? All they do is
implement term limits, which you support, and they do not change the
makeup of the current board this term.<br>
<br>
The ordinary resolution to have an election is a different matter -
I can see not supporting even if you do support term limits. I can
also see supporting it, but not the term limits.<br>
