    That was certainly my experience when trying to communicate with him about accessing the relevant minutes.

    We’ve all got ME, sometimes the brain doesn’t brain. If anyone can understand that, it’s us. A simple admission of making an error is fine. It’s the behaviours that caused the biggest problem.

    If 'there had been no changes to the substance of those "regulated clauses"' why had they put out a Resolution for specific changes to articles 24 and 28 in 2013?

    A great deal of the wording of the entire Articles had been redrafted from version 2007 to version 2013 because of the adoption of the major part of the "new model form". But the Resolutions included "specific changes" to clauses 24 and 28.

    If those changes were not "changes to the substance" why would have they have needed to have been specified and voted on? But then nothing Mr Riley writes makes much sense.

    Which they are now going to be doing. New for this org, MEA, & very overdue, too late for me, from a charity that's seemed incapable of understanding needs and acting with due urgency

    is it possible to post more information (which it indicates is on page 10)?

    fingers crossed this is the beginning of something that I agree is needed

    I can’t as I’m not a member and this was just posted as an excerpt for wider access and is presumably for members only but maybe other people can share.

    It's a shame they haven't publicised it more widely, as there could be a sizeable number of severely affected people who're not MEA members because they don't feel represented.
