Re: [802SEC] Interpretation of current P&P
Roger -
I'm not sure that what you have said makes it any clearer...
If the intent was "more than four two-year terms" then the
requirement for a 75% vote doesn't kick in until the fifth term.
If the intent was literally "more than eight years", then I agree
that the calendar shows the requirement for a vote is now.
So which one is correct?
Regards,
Tony
