Paragraph 5 Failure to attend meetingsI1

This paragraph applies to any governor who is not a governor by virtue of that person’s office.

A governor, who, without the consent of the governing body, has failed to attend the meetings thereof for a continuous period of six months beginning with the date of the first such meeting that person failed to attend, is, on the expiry of that period, disqualified from continuing to hold office as a governor of that federation.

Where a governor has sent an apology to the clerk to the governing body before a meeting which that person does not propose to attend, the minutes of the meeting must record the governing body’s consent or otherwise to the absence and a copy of the minutes must be sent to the governor concerned at that person’s normal place of residence.

A governor who has been disqualified as a governor of a federation under sub-paragraph (2) is not qualified for election, nomination or appointment as a governor of any category at that federation during the twelve months immediately following that person’s disqualification under sub-paragraph (2).
