What does this mean?

EXISTING
17. CO-OPTED TRUSTEES



17.1 Subject to Article 13, the Trustees may appoint:

17.1.1 persons to fill casual vacancies for an Elected Trustee and any such person shall serve as a Trustee until the end of the term remaining for that vacancy or, if shorter, for the period until an election may be procured;

17.1.2 up to two persons chosen to fill gaps in the skills, knowledge and experience of the board of Trustees.

NEW

C) In Article 17.1.2 replace the word two with three and after ‘Trustees’, provided that such co-opted Trustee may only serve for a period of one year and may be re-appointed annually by the Board up to a maximum term of nine years, after which they may not be co-opted again for a period of three years.

In exceptional circumstances, the Board may appoint as a Co-opted trustee, a trustee who is returning as an Elected Trustee for up to a maximum term of one year in addition to any term of office served as an elected trustee.

I note in August/September Cycle on page 10 that you are seeking to recruit three trustees.

According to Company house records.

Num Name Role Status Appointed on
1 SMITH, Mark Richard Director Active 26/06/2020

11 ATHERTON, Janet, Dr
Director Active 01/01/2017
12 HOWARD, Daniel Nevill Director Active 01/01/2012

LOWE, Jacqueline Director Resign 01/01/2013

It shows that there are 12 directors one was appointed/cooped in mid-term SMITH, Mark Richard to replace LOWE, Jacqueline who resign mid-term.

Given that a full term is 3 years and that there is according to the articles a limit of 9 years (3 terms x 3) of continuous appointment it appears to me there is the need for 4 trustees.

Of these 4, three PEARSE, Carl, KEY, Andrew Christopher, HILLS, Jacqueline Susan can seek re-election but one HOWARD, Daniel Nevillhas has served nine continues years and needs to resign at the end of 2020.

According to bertgrower :wink:, time served before 1 Jan 2017 doesn't count.
2020 : To redundancy ... and beyond!

Then that would go aganst the principal of the change that was brought in and would mean that Howard would be a trustee until end of 2026 and mean he would have served 14 years as a trustee, . I thought we want new ideas?

NB When BC change their election process to a maxinmun lenght of time served previous years were counted and most of the directos have to resign.
