Looks good. One small edit - last time we used the t-con Shaun informed us that 0800 numbers are now free from mobile. I suggest we just provide the 0800 number.

Do ALL our members have email? If not you can list my office address for postal proxy votes (SpiffyMap Ltd, The Venture Centre, Sir William Lyons Road, Coventry CV4 7EZ). However one suspects anyone involved in OSM would have email (needed to sign up to OSM, right?) so I guess it would be reasonable to say email only. To avoid spam to my personal address I've set up [email protected] for receiving proxy votes.

Oh, just spotted a typo "OpenSreetMap" on the first line
RobJN Sat 4 Feb 2017 12:05PM
Yes, all have email addresses so far.
@brian If you can send me the final document this weekend (as a word doc) I will send it out to the members. I'll see if I can make it into a pdf with form elements (checkouts, ability to fill in name, etc).
RobJN Mon 6 Feb 2017 10:53PM
Here is the draft form that I will send out on Tuesday. I have made it into a fillable form and have pre-populated with Jon's details. If this needs changing to Andrew, just let me know. http://osmuk.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/OSMUK-Agenda-Feb2017.pdf

Typo: ABTAIN should be ABSTAIN
Gregory Marler (former Director) Tue 7 Feb 2017 12:41PM
In the timings thread, @brian said "where the outgoing directors run the meeting until the agenda item of election/appointment which I'm tending to think should go last"
In this case, it hopefully only affects appointment of Jon. To set a precedent, the notice could include: "Except when specified, director changes and resolutions take affect [immediately | at the close of the meeting]"?
Personally I prefer the latter ending.
Typo: resignations include "Gre Marler".
Gregory Marler (former Director) Fri 24 Feb 2017 12:50PM
It seems Loomio saved a draft comment I made just before the meeting, but didn't post it.
I kept minutes of the meeting on hackpad (with a little help from Rob N)
https://hackpad.com/OSM-UK-CIC-AGM-2017-Xz2QmiIDccu
Now the meeting has passed, please don't edit the minutes unless it's to correct a typo such as a misspelt name. The minutes will get published to the website and be considered "draft" until we next have an (A)GM that approves them.

For those of you wondeirng why any decisions under AOB are non-binding this is to protect the company from being "ambushed" and denying members who were not in attendance their rights (basically all members have to be given 14 days notice of anything that needs a decision so they can exercise a proxy vote if they cannot attend)
