Webcast
The electronic meeting will be broadcast in video format with presentation slides. Once logged in, and at the commencement of the meeting, you will be able to view the proceedings of the meeting on your device, as well as being able to see the slides of the meeting which will include the resolutions to be put forward to the meeting.
Voting
Once the Chair has formally opened the meeting, they will explain the voting procedure. Voting will be enabled on all resolutions at the start of the formal meeting on the Chair’s instruction. Members may vote electronically on any or all of the resolutions in the Notice of Meeting, at any time while the poll is open, resolutions will not be put forward separately.
Once the resolutions have been proposed, the list of resolutions will appear along with the voting options available. Select the option that corresponds with how you wish to vote, ‘FOR’ or ‘AGAINST’. There is no ‘submit’ button – once you have selected your choice, the option will change colour and a confirmation message will appear to indicate your vote has been cast and received. If you make a mistake or wish to change your vote, simply select the correct choice; or if you wish to cancel your vote, select the ‘cancel’ button. You will be able to do this at any time whilst the poll remains open and before the Chair announces its closure at the end of the meeting.
Questions
Members may ask questions by typing and submitting their question in writing. To do this, select the messaging icon from within the navigation bar and type your question at the bottom of the screen; once finished, press the ‘send’ icon to the right of the message box to submit your question. The Chair will read the question aloud before providing an answer.
