Actually, Dave, with Chairwoman/Chairwomen/Chairman/Chairmen/Chairperson(s)/Chair(s) topic that this thread has touched upon concerns the recent AGM and not council meetings. But I agree, Zoom has brought a tremendous improvement to the rate at which business is conducted, both at AGM and council meetings, and on the whole it has promoted constructive personal behaviour.
As I recall, the "chair" discussion, as the fifth of five proposals amending the constitution, came almost an afterthought at the end of quite a productive discussion about more weighty constitutional changes that have been worked on by a specialised group for some time so as to bring BCA more up to date to serve its present and future membership better.
It was obvious pretty quickly that the AGM was not going to let itself be persuaded to indulge in a bun fight on the chair word, so the meeting quickly moved on to the next agenda item which was about fairness, equality and diversity. So why are people getting so worked up about "chair" here?
AGMs can't amend proposals any more, so Proposal 5 was and is to change Chairman/Chairmen to Chair, and you either take it or leave it. Simple as that. It's going to pass, so just get over it.
