It's an absolute disgrace that a quorum wasn't agreed on before hand.

How would someone go about appealing this result and the quorum reached?

Not really. An oversight maybe but not even a real screw-up. Relax. It'll work out - Dan the Man will know what to do.

An appeal would have to be made to the IAB afaik

irlrobins

What form does the appeal need to be in? Would a numer of signatures be required? Any links to info on the IAB?

Because you're appealing its own ruling it would have to have been submitted by either Saturday or Monday morning (because such an appeal must, I think, be lodged within 48 hours, and I'm unsure if weekends count), and such an appeal would have to be furnished with an explicit ground for doing so (which would likely be challenging their constitutional interprepation of 'membership of the Union' in this case).

Because the quorum isn't necessarily explicitly linked to the referendum but is merely to facilitate it, I'd think that it's up for anybody to appeal if desired, with no signatures needed. Probably submit such an appeal to the President or to the Returning Officer who would convene IAB meetings if need be.

On what grounds was the decision reached? Who was cut out etc.

www.ucd.ie states that the student pop is approx 22,000 with 2000 international students.

Great. So it's all Paddy's fault.

At the polling station they have a list of everyone who can vote. Can they not just add it all up?

Yes, but it adds up to the wrong number, so they have to find a way of counting it so it adds up to the right one.

i think we should all demand a recount of this ridiculuos Student Centre election. it's so stupid and convenient for the hacks that the 60% who voted yes were only 60% of a relative drop in the ocean.

this nonsense also has Dominic O Keefe and Greg O Neill behind it.

Do so, pm me and I'll give you the returning officer's e-mail address and you can lodge a complaint with him.

I'll support this.

Gregg with two g's is lovely. *hearts gregg*

you can't appeal this because as far as I know IAB can't rule on decessions of IAB and it was IAB that made this decession.

IAB is made up of

The Returning Officer
Chief Returning Officer
Union President
Chair of Council (Did not attend on this occasion)
Legal Advisor
College Rep

who did i leave out ?

singingstranger

"The Union Administrative Officer", which I guess is Dave Carmody?
