I think this is the current Articles of Association
Thanks mate
That's correct
“Clearly we can’t continue to have what we have had for the last few years – for the last 20 years, at Collingwood. Certainly, more transparency is needed. But you need term limits too, for directors and chairmen, and good succession planning. As soon as you join a board you should start to think who, for the next few years, you need to keep on the board or you need to attract to the board so that you’ve got … people who can succeed you. You’re not thinking how long can I cling on to this job. That wasn’t evident at Collingwood.Prominent Collingwood members want serious reform of the board after the racism revelations | Paul Daley

Worthwhile reading.
Particularly as it relates to the (poor) governance of our board.
If you can get a hold of the video from the member’s function a few months ago (the one where Ed announces that he’ll stand down at the end of 2021) he provides a few details about the process of appointing the President, the name of the returning officer, etc, etc. I’d assume board appointments would be same.
ps, here’s the video link below, fast forward to the 9min 30sec mark:
IIRC they found a way around that rule for Waitslitz? Maybe the rule got struck out? Maybe there was a separate vote to give him a waiver?
There are provisions to provide a waiver for the 24 mths membership. Not sure it was a formal requirement but it certainly helped that just before Waislitz came on he held an awesome party at his ranch in Orrong Rd. Through a number of happy and illogical circumstances I ended up attending. And was sat on a table next to Elsie and Bob Rose. One of the greatest experiences of my life!
Finally, someone addressing the key issues associated with the "systemic racism" identified in the Do Better report rather than projecting the club as inherently racist.Prominent Collingwood members want serious reform of the board after the racism revelations | Paul Daley

I dunno - what Proust says may well be entirely correct, but she seems to be lobbing a few bombs from the sidelines. IIRC she was doing this well before the Do Better report was released. She says she was offered a board role, turned it down and is now happy to offer advice from the afar. If you have the Club's best interests at heart, why not provide them with your insights directly rather than feeding it to journos?
She declined an invite to join the board but did the board ever invite her to contribute as just a consultant? It's how Murphy got to the board after all. A board that targeted her did so for a very specific reason, that being what she could bring to the table. People don't need formal positions to enable that.
That's my bugbear. The incidents cited in the report are largely historic and the report gives little indication of the progress that has been made since the Goodes incident. I'd like to see the club articulate that.
As it says, she doesn’t currently have the time or inclination...
Giving quotes to journos is not "providing expert advice". It might not be a bomb, but making commentary to third parties isn't advising. I just query the motivations of doing that from afar.
I just read this comment. Does this mean that there's a good chance that you and Alex Waislitz might put in a joint application for the presidency. Alex appears to have long term problems attending board meetings and it would be useful for him to have someone to do the hard yakka.
