Membership in the OBSID is open to all eligible property owners within its boundary. Members are encouraged to join to exercise their rights to influence the OBSID’s business.

• Membership cannot be denied, and the property owner is expected to attend, participate in, and vote at the company meetings held under the auspices of the Companies Act.
• Members who cannot attend annual general meetings may give another individual their proxy to attend and vote on their behalf.
• The board of directors are chosen by OBSID members at the AGM.
• Only members have voting rights at the AGM. Any property owner in Observatory can become a member of the OBSID.
• OBSID policy states that membership lapses if a member does not attend member meetings either in person or by proxy for two years in a row.
• Lapsed members can immediately re-apply for membership that will be considered by the Board of Directors, provided they agree to exercise their obligation to the OBSID.
• Non-members may attend and participate but cannot vote, and as such, they may have limited influence on the OBSID activities.
