Is 11am too early Lol never mind, we just conceded This is going to end 3-2 isn't it

Thanks

Has it restarted? What minute are we at?

I think that goes without saying, but the ideal scenario is that the person is okay and that the game is played to completion.

It was nice while it lasted

Oh the Morton are pie

I live overseas so I'm obviously not the target audience for this unminuted, unrecorded session, but I have no confidence in the three of you. I don't have to give my reasons for this but I'll give just one - you, Graham, individually, ran for the board under false pretenses. You then tried to snake three other volunteers. Your big mates at Estrella tried intimidation tactics at OUR meeting via their weirdo member's ten hour droning statement, and when that failed you rewrote history to say that Estrella and Graham, who can do no wrong, were denied their share in Morton by the "potentially criminal" actions of the other directors. That's a wild allegation to be throwing around without evidence. And, again, it's not why you ran. You ran completely under false pretends, and that's disqualifying. I voted for you. I'll never believe another word out of your mouth. If you had any decency you'd have resigned by now. I didn't vote for Statler and Waldorf, I don't know how autonomous they've been in this, but we'd be well rid of them as well for an astonishing lack of sound judgement in their case.

He's not on the MCT board, that's why. The MCT Board enjoys the interesting distinction of having every member subject to a member's proposal for a vote, ranging from McLennan at 85, to 1 for Thomas Francis (poor guy, wonder what he did to annoy someone)?

It stems from this: McLennan "rallied the troops" to get McKinnon, Farren and Whitton ousted after his motion (plus Tweedle Dandie and Tweedle Dumbie) to get them removed failed. Many members have now called for McLennan to be removed, and it seems a majority of them have also sought the ouster of Ren and Stimpy. Certainly I have asked for all three of them to go.

I think the "who" is a premature question. We're running out of money in the new year as things stand. Is it worth hiring a new highly-paid staff member, given the likelihood of administration?

Better late than never. Correct decision.

That I'll agree with, saying there is "a vote" is insufficient. Arguably they shouldn't even be pledging it, but if they've done so, they should at least say what they have in mind.

You keep hitting this final vote thing. What final vote? Nobody's proposed any vote of any kind. Why does the MCT board need to deny a motion that doesn't exist? On what grounds can they pre-empt a member's right to raise such a motion at an EGM?

I don't think anyone's said we move on to a vote to accept or not. Doubtless someone will move for that at the EGM but someone - and I'll do it if nobody else does, assuming I can make the meeting (which as of now I can) - move to oppose that. I just don't agree that it's MCT's role to do anything here. The Consortium is responsible for presenting its case. We're not responsible for presenting its case. I think this is more likely than not. But I don't think that changes MCT's role. Setting up checkpoints for the Consortium is doing their work for them. They came to us, it's for them to make a serious offer, not for us to write one for them.

MCT have been completely transparent about the next steps. The question deadline is on Friday. Then the questions get submitted to the Consortium. Then there's the EGM on the 19th. We're supposed to arrange a vote on a non-binding document with literally dozens of unresolved conditionals, without any questions being submitted yet, much less answered? I think a lot of people are getting starstruck here. The offer as written is indistinguishable from a Nigerian prince's. It's worthless. There's nothing to vote on because there's no offer made. Why would you want a vote before the questions clear up the conditionals? FWIW I'm pretty well resigned to this happening, but at the risk of sounding dramatic, not in my name.
