Talk:Articles of Association

Minimum number of directors

I've proposed the following change:

"14.3 The number of Directors shall be not less than three but (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) shall not be subject to any maximum except that the minimum number of directors until one month after the date of incorporation shall be one."

The rationale is that this makes it easier to form the company, given our remote locations, because it means the initial paper forms can be signed and submitted by one person, with the subsequent appointments being doen electronically. AndrewRT 18:41, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Electronic address

I'd like to propose an expanded definition of address:

• "address" means a postal address or, for the purposes of electronic communication, a fax number, an e-mail or postal address, a text message number or the talk page of a person's user account in a wikimedia project in each case registered with the charity;

This means we can post notices on people's user talk pages if we choose to. AndrewRT 18:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

IRC Director meetings

I'd like to propose the following amendment to allow for Board IRC meetings:

20.4 No decision may be made by a meeting of the Directors unless a quorum is present at the time the decision is purported to be made. For the purposes of this Article 20, "present" shall include being present in an IRC channel where the notice for the meeting specifies that the IRC channel shall be used.

The legal issue isn't the definition of "present" but the definition of "meeting", to make sure it's legally valid I suggest writing it terms of meetings. I would add something between 20.2 and 20.3 along the lines of "A meeting of the directors in defined to include electronic, text-based or voice-based, real-time communication where all present can send and receive messages from all present." Keeping it general like that means the board can choose to use Skype or something (both Skype Chat and voice chat) instead of IRC should they so desire. --Tango 21:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
