<p>Dear Mr Alston, </p>
<div class="">Kindly clarify and let me know your questions that
have not been answered.<br>
<br>
As far as I know, it is the report of the investigations
commissioned by the Board on the Competitions Act, as requested by
you, that is being awaited. As soon as we have this, it will be
shared with the community. <br>
<br>
Please note that requests/questions to the Board should be made
through formal channels, such as via email to <a

With Kind regards,<br>

</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The bylaws state that by demand
of 5% of the membership base an SGMM can be called. The
companies act state that any vote to remove a director has
to be explicitly for that purpose and with no other items
on the agenda - hence it stands to reason you need 5% of
the member base to force the SGMM first.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Then - the bylaws make reference
to the removal of a director - and I believe demand a
2/3rds majority - but I will verify all of this for you
with pleasure when back in front of a computer.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">The fact if I have looked into
this pretty closely because i am getting together a
petition document to attempt to force the SGMM in the
event that the directors continue to be delinquent in
answering questions the legality of certain operations and
hence continue to violate their fiduciary duties to the
membership base that elected them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">And pass or fail - such an SGMM
may send a wake up call that the board cannot continue to
ignore, delay, postpone and pontificate to avoid
accountability to the members who pay their expenses and
elect them</div>

Hi Andrew,<br>

Could you point to the bylaws section or the corporate
document where 5% of members (registered and ressources )
can recall a director and vote by super majority?

<div style="direction:ltr">Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">There are those that have said
on this list that there is no procedure to recall a
sitting board member.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">This is fundamentally
inaccurate - there is. It requires the signatures of 5%
of the membership base to call for it - and following
that a vote by super majority.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">If I recall there was a
resolution proposed to make this easier - first by
myself - it was voted down - and second proposed by the
board in Mauritius - again it was voted down - so the
procedure exists and is as difficult as it is because
that is what this community wanted.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">This community has a habit of
voting against things based on who proposed them then
coming and asking for them again later. I really wonder
what will happen when a director finishes his term and
refuses to hand back his legal membership - and as a
result cannot be removed as a member of the company -
and as a result no new directors can be appointed.
Since that is the status quo that this community voted
for and legitimized in Mauritius when they voted against
the need for a director to relinquish his status at the
end of his term. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Fascinating how this community
acts against their own interests and then wants a
revisit once the idea becomes “invented here”</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Just like it will be curious if
that audit policy ever passes and audits are demanded of
the authors - some of whom to this day only utilize 25%
of their allocated space that they have sat on for close
to a decade.</div>
