Per our Articles of Association (hit 'View PDF' link) and gov.uk notes on running a company a few notes in terms of procedure for the meeting:

• our quorum is 3 (Article 9.1) and our max size 7 (Article 13)
• we vote, and in split decisions the chair has the casting vote (Article 10.1)
• we need to keep records of decisions (Article 12) and resolutions (GovUK)

Just a reminder to @svmelton @spapastamkou @acrymble that we are meeting next week. The agenda looks packed, but it should be relatively brief :)
