"what Ontario law requires, and how it maps onto what you just learned"
|
|
|
|
## Session Content:
|
|
|
|
* One-member-one-vote is legislated under the CCA, not a choice - how this interacts with the consent and consensus models you've been discussing
|
|
* By-laws are required, not optional - they must cover membership, voting, and surplus distribution (connect to: the decisions you're learning to make together will eventually need to be codified)
|
|
* Virtual/hybrid meetings and electronic voting permanently allowed since 2023 - practical win for distributed studios
|
|
* Dual status: you can be both a director and an employee, but the roles have different legal implications - your by-laws need to separate governance work from production work
