Hi Owen, Well - it depends. If a non-quorate meeting was called and then adjourned for 24 hours and reconvened they would gain quorum under the bylaws.
The question becomes - and this is where I am uncertain and believe it is open to debate - can a meeting be called knowing full well that quorum cannot be there and then adjourned for 24 hours to gain quorum - thereby deliberately exploiting a loophole. It is one thing to call a meeting thinking you would have quorum - not getting it - adjourning for 24 hours and then gaining quorum after giving notice to the absent directors. It is another thing entirely to call a meeting knowing full well quorum could not be met and having no one to give notice to. Either way at bare minimum a meeting would have had to be called - adjourned 24 hours - and then reconvened to be quorate. This would have to be minuted. The board has been silent on if this process was followed despite members asking the question. Once again we face a situation where this organization is not answering legitimate questions from its members - and to me that is even more troublesome than the quorum issue. Furthermore - last I checked the board of directors page online had updated the chair and vice chair but was still showing the old directors listed as current - why has that not been updated to show the vacant seats accordingly Andrew Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef> ________________________________ From: Owen DeLong via Community-Discuss <community-discuss@afrinic.net> Sent: Wednesday, June 8, 2022 12:54:52 AM To: Ish Sookun <ish.soo...@lasentinelle.mu> Cc: AFRINIC Community Discuss <community-discuss@afrinic.net>; AfriNIC Discuss <members-disc...@afrinic.net> Subject: Re: [Community-Discuss] Congratulations to the new Chair & Vice-Chair of AFRINIC How did the board hold a meeting given that they cannot field a quorum after the AGMM?
