At its meeting on 5 December 2024, the Executive Council will be considering and agreeing on the actions required on all Motions that were either carried or remitted, as well as the motion that was guillotined due to a shortage of time. No motions were marked D (appropriate to be dealt with by correspondence) at this year’s AGM.
