This is excellent, IMHO.
However, I must ask, why does the procedure not link to the online registration
required under 5.1.b?
Is this a registration separate from the. AIS registration, or, does electronic
registration for AIS satisfy the requirement?
If it is separate, then where and how do we complete that registration?
Also, the timing specified in 5.3 is unclear.
5.3.a.b. states “Starts at least 14 days before the AGMM date and ends on the
Election Date”
It does not specify what time and/or time zone will be applied to the
ending.
5.3.b.b. states “Starts at least 3 days before and ends on the Election Date”
Similarly, it also fails to mention a time and/or timezone.
Further, the timeline does not specify a time when details of the online voting
system will be released
to members.
I would suggest that adding this information would be useful.
