Thanks Kevin, I was getting confused with the EGM rules hence my uncertainty. And thanks for the votes and support.
BTW, someone way back in the thread said that Chartered status would only result in the people that run the IfA getting richer. To clarify, you don't get anything for being on Council or the committees/working groups except maybe travel expenses, (which are receipted) so you don't make any money out of it, plus it takes up your free time (many employers support the IfA by allowing staff time to attend council meetings etc). There is a small staff who are obviously paid. They run the IfA day to day and put policy into practice, but it is council, committees and members who decide policy and what the IfA will do. The IfA is its membership, that's why they need to get involved.
David, perhaps the last few posts should be moved to a new thread titled 'IfA elections' as we seem to have moved off topic rather!
