Hi I was at the AGM appointed by 49 members of the Career Development Group to vote on their behalf against the new subscriptions model. We never had to vote at the end. There was a heated debate which went on and on; I think that everyone at the AGM was quite uncertain about what the result would be if we were to vote. Luckily, just before we got to do it, a member invoked Bye-law 33, which states that a ballot of the whole membership can be demanded by 20 people present at the AGM. Bob McKee, the chief executive, stated that proxy votes could also be counted so the 59 proxy votes I was carrying along with the other people who stood up secured the postal vote, which has to take place within the next 28 days. This is the best result possible because now all members would be consulted on the issue. Now it is really important we all return completed ballot forms to CILIP to register our vote.
