I don't believe it's what the company has in mind, I assume they will do the normal postal vote, however it is permissible under constitution and Corp law.
I don't see a great member revolt, only about 5-10% actually bother to vote in elections anyway, most likely the same members who go to the AGMs or nominate proxies.
If a member informed the board of a resolution to bring the board size to 7, surely they won't call for nominations for only 2 positions, knowing full well another election will need to be held straight after. Let's leave this here because it's really a moot point until after the weekends meeting and we have a decision one way or the other.
