Freegle Directors 2015 Election


Introduction


February 2014 we elected nine individuals to serve as Directors of this newly forming IPS. We thank those individuals, the Freegle Reps and all other Freegle Volunteers who worked so hard to set up Freegle Ltd. Now that the IPS is fully formed, Freegle Ltd recently held its first Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Note the following regarding this election timetable.


As detailed in our Rules under Retirement Cycle, all the current Directors are obliged to stand down at the first AGM. As such, we are electing our new Directors. As we only have seven candidates for Director to fill the nine spots, this election is to confirm those that have been nominated as Director.
Voting validation should take no longer than 1 day. Results will be posted as soon as possible.


Voter Eligibility
If there are less or equal number of candidates for vacancies, the Chair will declare them as 'elected unopposed' and they will take their posts as Directors without the need for a poll.


Those that have registered as members of Freegle Ltd are eligible to vote in this election.

As a part of this, candidates have prepared Candidate Statements. These will tell you a bit more about the candidates and what they feel they have to offer as a Freegle IPS Director. Additionally, several weeks were provided for a candidate Question & Answer period to take place on Freegle Central. During that time, voters were invited to ask questions to candidates. All candidates were invited to respond to each question. A total of 6 questions were asked with 35 candidate answers being returned.
