General Assembly March 2011
Dear syn2cat members,
with another successful year has gone by, and the number of members still growing, we come to the point in time where another General Assembly (GA) is to take place.
This email thus serves as a formal invitation to the General Assembly on March 5th 2011, starting at 6pm (18h00).
The agenda for the General Assembly is composed of the following points:
- Welcoming speech by the secretary general
- Modification of the membership fee to a minimum of 9.5 EUR
- Presentation and discussion of modifications to the statutes
- Presentation of 2010's receipts and expenditures
- Discharge of the treasurer by our auditors (lmamane, emQue)
- Election of a new administrative council
- Election of a new treasurer
- Election of two new secretaries
- Call for two financial auditors for 2011
There are a couple of additional things you should know:
A) If you cannot attend the assembly personally, you're allowed and even encouraged to have yourself represented by an adult person of your choice. We will accept either pgp-signed emails or analogue signatures as prove of this delegation on that same day.
B) You're also encouraged to stand for elections. Note that if you want to stand for elections to the positions of Secretary-General or Secretary-Deputy, you need to apply twice (once for the council, once for the position of Secretary)
How to apply for either election: At least 24 hours prior to the GA, i.e. latest at 17:59 on March 4th 2011, you need to send a PRIVATE email to the current council at office@hackerspace.lu (Do not reply to this email)
Also remember that we decided on the last GA that every applicant to the position of Secretary should present his ideas and goals for the forthcoming legislative period (year). [A 5 min lightning talk is totally ok]
For simplicity's sake, we ask that even members of the sorting council submit their applications.
C) Amendments to the statutes must also be entered at least 24hours
before the General Assembly takes place and equally be sent to
office@hackerspace.lu
The current version of our statutes can be found here.
Looking forward to seeing you in March,
David
