This General Meeting will include a vote to decide on the following resolution:
Special Resolution to Extend Period for new Board Election
WHEREAS Members resolved by Special Resolution at the 2022 AGM to call a General Meeting for the purpose of electing a new Board no later than February 28, 2023
WHEREAS Members further resolved that anyone running for a Board position will be informed publicly and in detail by the current Board and executive about the state of Resonate, possibility of wind-down, financials, history, and legal risks to Directors
WHEREAS The state of Resonate is a matter of contention and complex beyond the capacity of the present Board or candidates for a new Board to feasibily assess in the time allotted
WHEREAS issues include and may not be limited to:
- pending review by the Irish registrar of Members’ amendments to Resonate’s rules from 2019 - 2022 including terms for Supporter Debentures;
- matters which may arise relating to annual reports during this period;
- the question of whether taxes may be due for prior compensation of Directors;
- a general lack of capacity to support administrative and professional labor to maintain compliance
WHEREAS The full resolution of these issues or assessment of their risk is challenged by a lack of resources
WHEREAS Resonate cannot reasonably seek outside support unless Members can unite around a plan for a sustainable professional service.
WHEREAS These conditions have caused the Resonate Board to consider Voluntary Dissolution of the Cooperative
WHEREAS The state of Resonate and the question of the relative benefits or harms of its Dissolution is a matter to be reasonably considered by Members
WHEREAS The value of Resonate’s achievements and potential service demands that every effort be made for Members to come to a united purpose through mediation, critical engagement, accountability and operational planning
WHEREAS These efforts should not be rushed
WHEREAS Members have previously resolved that the 2023 AGM shall occur no later than June 30, 2023
THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED that the period for the election of a new Board be extended to June 30, 2023 or the 2023 AGM, whichever occurs first
