Explain the following terms with reference to a virtual meeting : Electronic mode Roll call.

Answer & Explanation:

Secretarial Standard -1 (SS-I) defines "Electronic Mode" means Meetings through video conferencing or other audio-visual means. "Video conferencing" or "other audio visual means" means audio-visual electronic communication facility employed which enables all the persons participating in a Meeting to communicate concurrently with each other without an intermediary and to participate effectively in the Meeting. The requirement for roll call is in line with the requirement under Rule 3(4) and Rule 3(5) of the Companies (Meetings of Board and its Powers) Rules, 2014. During the roll call, every Director participating through Electronic Mode should state, for the record, the following namely: (a) name; (b) the location from where he is participating; (c) that he has received the Agenda and all the relevant material for the Meeting; and (d) that no one other than the concerned Director is attending or having access to the proceedings of the Meeting at the location mentioned in (b) above. A roll call is nothing but identifying and confirming the attendance of the director participating through Electronic Mode.
