-Regarding Subscription fees
:
+Proposed changes to the WLUG Incorporated Charter
:
-Rule 3
+1.
Rule 2a be renamed Rule 2b, and all references to Rule 2a be updated to refer to Rule 2b
-In order to join the society one must pay the yearly subscription fee to the society
. Said fee is determined by the committee of the society
and can
be changed as the needs of the society changes. Membership is not required: the meetings are open
to all and casual requests for assistance or information are allowed. Non-members will not have access
to the areas outlined in
Rule 2a: above
.
+2
. Rule 2 be renamed Rule 2a,
and all references to Rule 2
be updated
to refer
to Rule 2a.
+Membership
-This states that the committee shall set the fee at its discretion
. We are not currently proposing
a change in
the fee
, however we do wish to formalise
the point at which fees are due
.
-Current options for fee dates are :
+3
. Membership of the LUG is formalised by completing
a membership form. Payment of
the yearly fees must be received within 3 months of this
, or
the membership is deemed void
. (Rule 3)
-* One year from payment
.
-* Financial
year (eg
, April 2003 -> Mar 2004)
-* Temporal year
(eg, 2003
)
-* Between AGMs.
+4
. Membership is for the period between AGMs. -- Do we need to consider pro-rata fees ? If someone wants to join halfway through the
year, should we require only 50% of the fee?
(Rule 3
)
-At this stage the last option seems easiest, however if we should move the date of the AGM we will run into problems. We could of course just decide that the date of the next AGM is the date that fees are due, and stick to that even if the AGM moves.
+Committee
-As a discussion point
, do we wish to include a family concession
, and/or business rate?
+5. The size of the committee be amended so that there are the 4 executive members (President
, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary
, and 5 (five) others. (Rule 7)
-DanielLawson
-----
+6. The position of List Maintainer be clarified (Rule 7)
-Changes to
the charter:
+7. Commitee meetings - currently
the Charter states that the committee will hold a meeting at the same time as the regular meeting. This needs to be amended or removed
-There are a few changes to
the charter, regarding the committee membership and so on, that need to be addressed.
+Quora ('I want discussion on
the values - is 50%/15 people ok?)
-I've noticed
a few typos as well
, and
a few formatting issues
(eg
, Rule 2 should be 2a, The existing 2a should be 2b, etc
).
+8. At
a committee meeting
, a quorum shall be 50% of the committee
('do we mean 4 or 5 people
, if we have a 9 person committee?'
). (Rule 6)
-These changes
, especially regarding renumbering
of rules and any changes to
the content
, need to be formally ratified at
an AGM, signed by
a JP
, and submitted
to the companies office
, I think along with
a fee
.
+8. At a SGM
, a quorum shall be 50%
of the society membership
, or 15 people, whichever is smaller. (Rule 5,6)
+
+10. At
an AGM, a quorum shall be 50% of the society membership
, or 15 people, who were fully paid up members in the previous year
and who have expressed
+intent
to continue. ('This means
, new members dont get
a say, people who dont want to carry on dont get a say')
.
+
+11. Any other minor typos as we find them (I noticed a few spelling mistakes)
