he's an opportunity for all the committee knockers to have there say
if they are members of course

Interesting. Particularly eligibility criteria for member elected directors.
After a quick look at our constitution,  I could not find any reference to this ?
Considering our last  appointment for this position was NOT a member at the time of nomination. (I may be wrong)
Interesting also to note advertiser today Carlton board is wanting to WAIVE the requirement for directors to have been members for at least two years........
A cynical p... like me may think this is an underhand way for the board
To sure up the election of their nomination or maybe just reflective of the way members no longer, for what ever reason, are losing contact with their boards and running of their footy club

I think this is likely to lead to the member-elected person to have been a member for at least two (preferably more) years and that would be a good thing. I think oldfella has suggested this strongly.

Yes, the last election was a new member, no doubt supported by the Board, against a 50 year member.

I'm with you. IMO the nominee must have been a member of the club for 2+ years. The position is, afterall, a representative of the members.
The problem I see with these working groups, is not so much apathy on behalf of members to participate, rather them being in a position to afford the time to dedicate to the group. Such time commitments preclude many members from participating and not everyone has the inclination to work in such groups.
Thanks for clarrifying re last appointment.

i see that the biggest one complaining about the commitee hasnt made a comment

The result was to be posted on Tuesday.

Have I missed it?
