/!\ NOTE: /!\

There is a difficulty in proposing special resolutions for this and future upcoming GMs.

Because the Associations Act 2009 is now in effect, the current set of rules are deemed by OFT to be in compliance with the Act. So we need do nothing right now.

However, any attempt to submit new rules will be rejected unless the new rules are in fact in compliance with the Act.

Identify proxy votes

The proxies for the meeting are:

(*) On Sat, 16 Dec 2017 11:40:40 B.J. asked if he is to late or not for a Proxy, as there where two different information in the table on the bottom of the agenda. In fact, there is a 24h rule, but on the Agenda is mentioned a time 1h before the AGM. This is a mistake of copy-pasting. The secretary proposed to send the proxy demand and it should be on the assembly to accept it or not. It could be accepted in a kind of relxed rules (https://wiki.cacert.org/PracticeOnNames#Relaxed_Rules) as a member should not be fined for an error of the secretary.
