This is one of a series of posts about the 2025 World Science Fiction Society Business Meeting. They are all tagged bm2025.

Two very quick points here.

First, it is a very good thing that the Business Meeting is being held online this year. It is about time that it moved into the twenty-first century rather than pretend to be a nineteenth-century style deliberative assembly. People who know more about the rules than I do have looked at them, and deemed that it can be done this way, and I am glad. Please let’s have a good turnout at the first session of the virtual meeting on 4 July.

Second, the agenda for this year’s meeting includes a 25-page report from the Business Meeting Study Group (pages 83-107 of the agenda) which is clearly a serious piece of work, and which I won’t summarise here. It provides ample justification for passing resolution D4 (on pages 21 and 22 of the agenda) to find better alternatives for Worldcon procedures. I’ll vote in favour.
