 RSGB Board Election 2010 declared invalid
Governance of the RSGB is regulated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Society, or M&A, a copy of which may be found on the Members’ only section of the website.
An irregularity has been identified in the nomination of the two candidates standing for election as nationally elected members of the Board.
Unfortunately, it was not noticed until after RadCom had gone to press that both candidates shared two nominators. This is not in accordance with the M&A and therefore the candidates were not properly nominated.
The Board has considered its options under the M&A and has determined that the only course of action open to it is to declare the election for nationally elected members of the Board invalid.
Given other requirements of the M&A, the Board will now co-opt both candidates as Board members for a twelve month period until the next election late in 2011, when the candidates may stand for election again.
The Society very much regrets this error, but believes that the best interests of the membership are served by acting as set out above.
The regional election for Region 4 is unaffected and closes at midday on 2 December.
