You're right about the quorum - thats not a change like I thought (I think change in headline format got me there)The 2 person for a quorum clause seems to have been in there already, and seems pursuant to delivering an outcome in the event that repeated attempts to have sufficient numbers/discourse fails.
eg. they re-organise the AGM a few times.
The rest of this seems to be about equality and diversity, at the slight expense of giving presidents 4 years uncontested.
There is one part where the Independent Nominations Committee has been granted the power to install someone onto the board who hasn't been a voting member for at least 2 years, but that doesn't seem like a bad thing?
as per drunkill - the president things does look like a Sayers specific change, but largely due to his tenure on the board. Not sure I agree a constitutional change mandating a minimum term for presidents is the right way to fix this as opposed to allowing the maximum term on the board to be extended by up to 4 years for a sitting president.
