I have stated in the past (long distant days) that membership can come
in many forms. For example, a registered charity can have no members
others than the Trustees. I was a Trustee of such a charity. Wikimedia
UK decided to have Trustees and members. I am a member of Wikimedia UK.
I have attended AGMs in the past, but took no part in the 2013 AGM.
The following resolutions were carried without dissent (I asked the
Tellers).
The resolutions put forward to the AGM are at EGM 2013/Resolutions.
They are:
Resolution to set the number of Directors
Resolution to alter the composition of the Board to introduce co-opted
Directors
Resolution to revise the Election Rules, replacing Approval Voting
with STV
Well, apart from my abstention (both in real life and virtually). I
assume there were other abstentions?
Yes, they were passed without any opposes vote, but not every one of
200-something members voted.
Indeed. The voting record records the votes that were cast for/against/abstain,
either in person or by proxy, with the number of voting members also recorded.
If you want to abstain, then you need to vote that way, otherwise you're just
absent.
Although in this case, the votes at the EGM weren't unanimous, see the minutes
