Call a special general meeting to change the organisation's name? You lot seem to want it, quit talking the talk and just walk the walk... </blockquote><div><br></div><div>There's no point calling an SGM at this stage. When an SGM gets called, the exact motions to be voted on at the SGM need to be included in the notice of the SGM. At this point, there's not even a consensus on *if* the name should be changed, let alone *what* it should be changed to.</div>
<div><br></div><div>A Special Resolution will definitely be required. A special resolution requires a three-quarters majority of people voting to agree before it can pass. If we put the motion today, I'm fairly certain that it wouldn't get the support of a three-quarter majority - so calling an SGM at this point would be a waste of the organisation's time and money. </div>
