CGOV.16:2 - Problem

A secretary accurately adds the marks received but counts a director who is ineligible for this matter. A director repeats every reported number but cannot explain the assumption on which the proposed commitment depends. A remote participant is connected to the meeting yet cannot hear or challenge the revised proposal.

Each action can meet a narrow description while failing its encompassing use. Listing legal, financial, administrative and technical functions side by side does not explain how counting, qualification, deliberation and corporate decision are being performed through one another.

The resulting repair can miss the cause. More arithmetic practice will not teach the secretary which votes count. A new committee will not restore an inaudible discussion. Conversely, a governing-rule explanation will not supply a participant’s missing ability to interpret the financial consequence.
