If you're watching TV this morning, I'm appearing on CBC NewsWorld at 8:45 a.m. to talk about what's likely to happen at the AGM today. The CBC is going to have a big broadcasting truck at the Toronto Congress Centre, which should give you a sense of how newsworthy the AGM will be. For technology/telecom reporters, this is our Super Bowl. I'm hoping it will be a lively affair given this is the first time in two years investors/shareholders will have a chance to question management. It would be a major disappointment if shareholders allow Nortel quickly to through the procedural motions. I've got a feeling, however, the meeting may be like the AGM in Halifax in 2002, which lasted nearly five hours as shareholder activist Robert Verdun followed Robert's Rules to interogate CEO Frank Dunn. Nortel expects the meeting to be lengthy but doesn't plan to have any breaks, although it will serve coffee and muffins. Perhaps the company believes the lack of a break will "encourage" shareholders to quicken the pace.
