We need to know the number of attendees two weeks prior to the event. Why is the conference being separated from the AGM?The AGM must be a notified General Meeting, at least 30 days prior, and the business must be spcified in the notification. The Conference will bring up new items for discussion. So the General Business Sessions will be run to explorethese, but as these item will be "from the floor", they are inconsistent with the "General Meeting" status. |
