I don't think they can hear you with text perhaps give them a phone call.

You could put forward you views and suggestions at the forthcoming AGM.

But can WST members actually change anything? A Board Resolution needs only a simple majority to get approval whereas a Members' Resolution requires a two-thirds majority. This makes it very difficult for the latter to get passed. Even if it does there is no guarantee the WST board will take it forward as official policy......witness last year's DSA Second Platform plans. As for making changes at the top level i.e. the WAFC board .....well just forget it !

We could propose a resolution to change the two thirds to a simple majority?

Not sure if that could be done at an agm , might require an Emergency General Meeting (egm) . Either way I suspect the WST board and regular backers would close ranks and block it.

I am not sure what the starter of this thread wants to change but if he is at the WST AGM and he makes his thoughts known I might just find out.

As for any changes - You are probably correct as the membership like many organisations normally follow the lead shown by The Board.

If I did have a proposal for change I would certainly not 'forget it' Its just not in the DNA A bit like yourself i would guess.

Changes can be undertaken and it would take some hard graft - starting by obtaining a list of members / shareholders . Its been done before.

A proposal to the AGM is in order. An EGM requires a larger number of signatories.
Irrespective of what Individual members / non members think, there are a set of rules governing all aspects of the trust.
You suggest that the regular backers would close ranks.
This would only be true if they thought the proposal was not worth considering, ie. They were satisfied with how things are.
All things change from time to time and can start with the forthcoming elections to the trust board.
