Via IDNIYRA Vice Commodore Warren Nethercote:
Thursday afternoon 11 January, 151 members of IDNIYRA will be receiving an invitation to vote in a demonstration electronic vote. This demonstration is designed to give us a better idea of what we are voting for when we are asked to vote on introducing electronic voting at the 2018 annual general meeting.
Ideally we would have sent invitations to all members but we have not yet completed consolidation of our membership and sail number records In a form suitable for a full electronic voting list.
Please participate in this demonstration e-vote so that you can provide feedback to the IDNIYRA Governing Committee either by email or at the AGM.
