Dougal on facebook suggests that Article five thing was there to prevent a repeat of the 1980 boycot of the Russian games where 'they' forced the boycot through. I was around at the time but can't exactly remember what happened, I was in the frame for the next lot in Atlanta and I remember being really peeved off at what was going on.

The Board has taken the opportunity to update the provisions relating to the number of members required to convene a general meeting and to simplify the voting process so that each individual Member will have one vote and each organisation Member will have one vote per £100 of affiliation fee.
So a organisation member who invests £1,000,000 gets a nice chunk of votes, unless I am reading it wrong ?

Guess it will be less of a members organisation and more like the AA

I think there are a couple of points that are a little disquieting.
Article 5 changes from: Members may direct the Board to take, or refrain from taking, specified action to: Members may not direct the Board to take, or refrain from taking, specified action. And Article 20: Threshold for Members request for general meeting is 50 individual Members or 10 organisation Members. Changes to Threshold for Members request for general meeting is 1,000* individual Members or 100 organisation Members. * <1% of current individual membership I can't quite see how that entirely sits with What won’t change: • The RYA’s status as a membership organisation to protect and promote boating • An Association that combines a small, professional staff team with a large number of active volunteers • The ability of all members to influence policy and to engage with the RYA in a way that is relevant and tailored to them It seems to be to be getting a lot less democratic rather than more so, then hardly surprising the way things are these days.

Yes, but the idea of people selecting "independents" is rather amusing.

and the NEDs on company boards are appointed by the boards , although usually with some semblance of shareholder oversight |
