The pre-meeting discussion has been scheduled to allow Members to discuss the motions while voting remains open. This is intended to create a hybrid process in which Members have an opportunity for healthy discourse, clarification, and debate before finalising their voting decisions. However, under the Articles as currently written, voting must close 48 hours before the AGM itself, which means any such discussion must take place before that deadline. For that reason, the pre-meeting discussion has been structured as a separate meeting ahead of the AGM, rather than as part of the AGM itself.
