Explanatory note 1 (Resolution 3)

The Articles require that Nominated Directors are endorsed by the Membership in a secret ballot on or before the AGM [Article 33c]. Paul Devlin, G1SMP and David Hills, G6PYF were recommended to the Board as Nominated Directors
by the Nominations Committee in January 2021. The Board accepted the recommendation at its meeting of 16 January 2021 and Paul Devlin, G1SMP and David Hills, G6PYF are offered for endorsement in accordance with the Articles.

Explanatory note 2 (Resolution 4 and 5)

In this election one candidate, Simone Wilson, M0BOX, has exercised her right under Bylaw 4.5 to stand for Board Director as well as President. Bylaw 5.4 sets out a different voting arrangement as a consequence and Members will be asked to vote for not more than two candidates for Board Director. If Simone is elected as President and has the highest number of votes in the Board Director vote, then the person with the second highest number of votes will be duly elected; otherwise the Board Director successful candidate will be the one with the highest number of votes.
Bylaw 5.4 allows Members to vote for more candidates than there are vacancies in a Board election (Resolution 5) so that their preference is still counted if one of their chosen Board candidates is elected as President (Resolution 4).
