Should heads roll?
Absolutely not !
Rather the LAA committee (especially the Chairman Brian Davies ) should be congratulated on a fair debate, and supporting the democratic objective. There were a couple of attempts from the floor to have the Proxy votes put aside, but these were rightly thwarted. It is true that the majority of those attending voted against the motion. Discussion prior to the vote was restricted to TCT, the Awards Committee, and Barry Tempest, but this was understandable, as it could have taken an age to get to the actual vote, and some of us had to fly home !
It is true that the majority of those attending voted against the motion. Before I left at the end of the formal AGM, I made the following points as to why I stood by my decision to support the motion.
1. Through no fault of their own, the Awards Committee were misled.
2. What I objected to was the misrepresentation of "solo" so much, without correction.
3. That the Award in future should be presented to an Individual, not a Corporate
PR event.
Sam, I'll send you a PM later
