“In addition to (but not in place of) post and electronic mail, a trade union may also provide for a member or delegate, before the meeting, to send to the chairman of the meeting the matters which the member or delegate wishes to raise at the meeting by such other electronic means as the trade union considers appropriate, and each such matter, if substantial and relevant and sent within a reasonable time before the meeting, is to be responded to at or before the meeting by electronic means. To avoid doubt, in addition to (but not in place of) post and electronic mail, a trade union may provide for any matter to be raised by a member or delegate at a meeting and for the matter to be responded to at the meeting through real‑time electronic communication such as video conferencing, tele‑conferencing or live chat.”. |
