[ISOC-CH Ann] Changes of Statutes (General Assembly)
by Bernie Hoeneisen 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Dear ISOC-CH Members During the General Assembly (GA) on 8 Mar 2013 we will propose some changes to the ISOC-CH statutes. It is *important* to note that *during the GA we will only vote on those change requests that have been submitted 20 days before the GA* (i.e. deadline Feb 16th). *During the GA itself no further change requests may be submitted for voting.* The discussion on the changes to our statutes is taking place on the following mailing-list: http://lists.isoc.ch/mailman/listinfo/statutes Every member is welcome and encouraged to subscribe to this new mailing-list, take part in the discussion, and submit new (or alternative) change requests for our statutes to this new mailing-list. (As mentioned above, the deadline for any change request is 16 Feb. 2013). Please find the currently proposed changes on: http://www.isoc.ch/draft-statutes-CR Below a summary of the changes proposed so far: - Membership Acceptance: - Simplification of the process - In short: The new variant shall allow the Board to accept or reject applications for membership; rejected applicants can appeal to the GA. - Background: As one legal question could not be resolved timely for the inaugural GA, we had introduced a "work-around", that works in any case - Membership Termination: - Clarification of the process - As exclusion of membership is a delicate topic, the process and rules need to be clear (to mitigate misuse). - Various committees: - Improved the "checks and balance in the system" as well as communications between committees and Board - Default for official address, if not explicitly determined Looking forward to your feedback on <statutes(a)lists.isoc.ch>! All the best, Bernie
