CGOV.16:5.2 - A participant can hear the original proposal but not the amendment

The supplied procedure requires each participating director to be able to communicate information and opinions about the item. A remote director hears the opening presentation. The connection then fails while the proposal is materially amended.

Being logged in no longer establishes the required participation. Recover the action: hearing and questioning the current proposal contributes to deliberation under the supplied rule. Restore communication and explain the amendment before counting that director as participating in its decision, or use another permitted procedure. Whether the remaining directors may decide depends on their own eligibility, quorum and information conditions.

If the director can hear every word but cannot interpret a material assumption, the communication repair is insufficient. A competent explanation or other suitable contribution is needed. Preparation for this role must include using such explanations in the actual deliberation, not only remembering the agenda or operating the conferencing software.
