Yes things are looking up and very positive.
I also like the new system and I think it definitely keeps interest more constant and frequent.
One possible area that might be worth reviweing is the number of voting members an how decisions are made. This is because we seem to have two members (I am assuming it is the same two members) that never seem to take part in any polls. This is obviously their right but does not help when we need half to support a motion for it to be passed.
The total membership stands at 15 and thus needs 8 members to support a proposal, however in reality there appears to be only a maximum of 13 active members (and sometimes even less). I am basing this on the fact that on the current three share monitoring polls which have been around for months (so no one can blame a lack of time) two have 13 votes and one 11 votes. I would have thought all members would have had a view whether they want to hold, sell or buy the share but apparently this is not the case and there might be good reason(s) no obvious to me why not.
Therefore is it worth giving 'non-active' members the option to opt out of voting in polls temporarily for the period of their choice (or be discounted after a period of time if they remain totally inactive) and thus aiding the chances slightly of getting conclusive poll results.
For example if the two apparent non-active members were to officially opt-out that would make the total votinng membership 13 (down from 15) and thus a majority would then be 7 members and not 8.
Non-active members could opt backin or be reactivated again on simple request.
