VotingI believe that shareholders that can't get to the meeting can vote by mail or by proxy. I have done this before.
Although I have often attended annual meetings, I find sometimes find it difficult logistically due to my day job requirements and distance. Another problem I find is that the AGM's are very orchestrated, and even during question period it is difficult to get the attention of the chair as everyone is gearing up to go.
One problem I would like solved: I have never been able to get a hold of the minutes of an AGM to see what kind of questions were asked from the floor. Does anyone know how to do this?
Another question: If we would like to vote out the present board (or at least dump some members..... who do we vote for? There has to be a different slate standing, and right now I don't see one. Any suggestions?
I agree with earlier posters that the pp seems organized to benefit the "inside" investors at the expense of the "outside" investors.--In other words, the directors' interests and the shareholders' interests are not currently aligned.
