[Osia-members] AGM and Stepping Away

[Aficionado tech]

Bob,

Thanks for the below input, I will not be there for the night however Nick, Greg and Daniel will and I think the best thing to do is raise a notion to postpone acceptance of proxy votes etc. I will leave it up to the team on he floor as I have not been involved in organising this event.


Cheers, 



Regards,

Aimee Maree Forsstrom
