At the 2008 RallySport Ontario Annual General Meeting held on March 21 09 in Peterborough, there were two significant changes approved to the RSO Bylaws.

The first is a plan to create a Board of Trustees (BOT) consisting of three people, each serving a three year term with one Trustee being replaced each year by election at the RSO AGM. This BOT is charged with the responsibility of disbursing the assets of RSO in a manner that would be in the interest of rallyists in Ontario, in the unlikely event of the dissolution of RSO. The first BOT will consist of Dennis Wharton, Alasdair Robertson and Peter Gulliver.

The second Bylaw change revised the conditions of meeting a quorum for holding an RSO AGM or Special AGM. The revised clause re quorum now states that a majority of member clubs, officially represented at any meeting by a member carrying his/her club’s proxy, at any meeting of RSO shall constitute a quorum. This change resolves the ongoing problem we have had of rounding up enough votes of individual members to form a quorum. Note - this change relates only to forming a quorum to legally hold a meeting; there will be no change to the voting system for business arising at the meetings i.e. each individual RSO member will continue to exercise a vote and each club will have one vote. Individual members may still carry proxy votes for other RSO members.

Three Board positions were elected at the AGM, each for a two year term. Ray Felice was re-elected as President, Rob MacKenzie as Vice President of Performance Rally and Peter Gulliver as Treasurer. The remaining two positions on the Board with one year remaining in their term are Rita Moore as Vice President of Navigational Rally and Ross Wood as Secretary.
