I think that partly depends whether they are asking members to approve a change to the subsided network or whether they are informing members of a change that is happening.

Really passengers should be given as much notice as possible of an operator change, as it may mean passengers will need to buy a different ticket type which may cost more than the ticket they are currently buying. For instance, a Stagecoach weekly ticket is no use on a Diamond Bus and if you use two buses and one is changing operator and the other is staying the same, it may not mean all affected passengers will buy a Diamond weekly instead of a Stagecoach weekly.
