[CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
I motion to start an impromptu meeting of the Board of Directors as the
bylaws allow. At least two of the three other directors - Benkern, Edgard II,
or Jacobus - must vote in favor of this motion for the meeting to begin.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
I will take part in this meeting IF the other two directors besides myself vote in favour of this motion. But I think the current shareholders' meeting should be concluded before any other meetings are begun. Unless there are extenuating or emergency circumstances, in which case I invite the proposer to PM me privately if they are sensitive or post them publically if they are not.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
My solution is to join forces with my colleague Edgard II to form a peaceful takeover
of the company with our combined majority of shares, reduce the size of the Board
so that it is almost non-existant, and install a loyal associate of ours, to be determined,
probably someone with a military background who can "get the job done" and make the
shareholders happy by increasing profits and stock price, as Chairman, President and CEO,
and pay them quite comfortably, possibly 1000 SCUE a month plus a bonus tied to profitability.
Also I plan on increasing my stake by buying up even more shares and encourage others to do the same.

Will the Alexandrian Royal Family's re-engagement with CWG see a return to basing the company in their nation?

We are no longer pursuing Alexandrian participation -- they have indicated that they
wish to be merely a silent partner in the enterprise.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
I am grateful for Edgard II's decision to participate in this meeting,
which came after several requests from me.
Since Vilhelm has stated that he will participate in this meeting if
two others do, then I consider this meeting to have begun.
Also, unless a majority are in opposition, I hereby take the role as Chair
of the Board and will be the facilitator of this meeting.
A MOTION TO CREATE A CEO SEARCH COMMITTEE
I motion to create a CEO Search Committee, Chaired by me and with Vilhelm Benkern as
the Vice-Chair and Edgard II also serving, which will search for, find, and, by vote of a majority,
hire, a new CEO to manage the business of the company on behalf of the Directors, as well
as set the CEO's salary and powers.
As a corollary to this motion I motion to empower all the Directors as individuals to
be able to conduct business on behalf of the Company with the exception of when overrode by
either a majority of the Directors or, the CEO (who himself/herself may also
be overrode by the majority of Directors), after one is hired; this is to allow business
continuity since we are without any formal management at this time.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
UPDATE:
I am pleased to report that CEO search committee is narrowing
the field of candidates. A selection will be announced soon.
EXECUTIVE CHAIR PROPOSAL:
Also I would like to announce my advice that the Board create,
or a majority of shareholders vote to create, a permanent Executive
Chair position.
The Executive Chair would not only chair the Board of Directors, it would engage
in strategic and operational business management alongside
the new CEO, providing the Board of Directors an active voice in the
management of the company. The Executive Chair would also be
a special Director, not elected at each shareholder's meeting but
rather upon vacancy. The Executive Chair, like the CEO, would be
selected initially by either the Board or the Shareholders.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
Unfortunately, the Search Committee has not arrived at
a selection.
URGENT: Our ability to conduct business is very limited by not
having a CEO.
We must vote to let us, the members of the Board, conduct business
on behalf of the company as individual manager-directors, or else the
operation of the company will soon grind to a halt. A resolution:
Is there a second?

hereby vote to make the current Directors of the Company General Managers
of the Company, with the area to engage in all aspects of business on behalf
of the company, such as signing contracts, recruiting new business partners,
investing in real estate, etc., except when they are overridden by a majority of
Directors.
Is there a second?

OOC: In the middle of a massive move and a lot of life changes. RL takes priority, period.I am grateful for Edgard II's decision to participate in this meeting,
which came after several requests from me.
I second the motion made, and I vote for myself as CEO and Mssr. Melang as General Manager.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
I vote YEA to make everyone a General Manager.
As for Edgard II as CEO, I vote YEA, but believe he should
only act as a figurehead due to
the fact that he cannot be 100% active due to IRL issues. Everyone
who is a general manager should have the right to engage
in business on behalf of the company.

Sorry for the delay, I was on the road, and hurt my arm. I'll try to catch up in the next couple of days.
I support Mr. Melang and Edgard's actions.

Re: [CWG] Call for Board of Directors Meeting - Impromptu
Edgard as CEO PASSED
Congratulations.
Now, Edgard and I have the right to conduct business now
and when an indication from Edgard or Benkern happens that
they approve of making all the board members a General Manager
they do as well officially--but I can just speed things up and declare
Jacobus and Benkern as Acting General Managers to grant them this
power in the meantime.
