====== BOTLab Special Members' meeting December 2023 (also yuletide shenannigans)======
Bristol Open Technology Lab C.I.C general meeting

**Date/time:** 19:00, 14th December 2023.

**Location:** Bristol Hackspace, with online option.

===== Agenda (one item only!)=====

In a minor procedural error we thought we needed to get our banking compatible with becoming a CIO (charity) first, when in fact the process is switch to a CIO and then tell the bank. Unfortunately it took several months for the bank to tell us this, and so we need to confirm you all still wish to convert to a charity. This is a very important resolution which needs as much member support as we can get, so if you cannot attend yourself, please send a proxy vote in your place. Marsh is happy to field proxy votes for anyone, so please let them know via DM on the forum or by email if you would like them to hold your vote.


The wording and all parts of the resolutions previously discussed remain the same as last time, minus the date. The vote will be to accept the resolutions and elected initial trustees from the Q2 meeting, or to not accept and bring this for full discussion at the regular Q1 meeting in Jan 2024.
As this is a special resolution it will require a 75% majority to pass. We're hoping this will be a formality as the sentiment previously was overwhelmingly in favour.
