+ | === [Proposal S5-a] Standing Council === | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Proposant: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Change: | ||
+ | |**Proposed wording: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Rationale: | ||
+ | |||
+ | This article makes it straightforward to adopt procedures that will allow the Council to take decisions via email, or to adopt an e-democracy system in the future if it wishes to do so. The Council may pick its own tools and procedures, without requiring changes in the statutes. This allows for an independent Council that can take decisions quickly if needed.\\ | ||
+ | Big decsions, such as accepting new members, changing the statutes, and dissolving the organization are explicitly required to be taken in Council meetings.\\ | ||
+ | Otherwise the Standing Council is not intented to be a new body, but only a way for the same Council to take decisions outside of Council meetings. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === [Proposal S5-b] Urgent meetings of the Council === | ||
+ | **Proposant: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Proposed change:** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |//insert at the end of [Article 14 - Composition and Powers of the Council]// | ||
+ | |||
+ | === [Proposal S5-c] Extraordinary council meetings and referendums === | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Proposant: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Proposed change:** | ||
+ | |**Proposed wording with changes:**| //Number (7) in Article 14. now reads://\\ (7) The Council will meet at least once in a calendar year, more often if requested by at least **one-quarter** of the Ordinary Members or by a decision of the Board __or Council__. Meeting may be in person or online. If the Council meeting is in person, remote participation of non-attending members shall be possible. The Board will prepare the meetings. **For Ordinary meetings all members shall be** invited by email at least one month before the date of the Council meeting. In urgent cases < | ||
+ | **Rationale: | ||
+ | Several changes going on there: | ||
+ | - Council may call its own meetings (instead of possibly tasking Board to do that): More independence, | ||
+ | - Invitations not necessarily send out by the board: viz proposal [[1st_council_meeting_2015: | ||
+ | - Ordinary meetings month in advance: just clearing the wording. | ||
+ | - Extraordinary meetings in shortened time: just using what was already there (both shortened terms and Extraordinary meeting in part about Board). Extraordinary meeting are "one issue only" + nothing serious can by done there | ||
+ | - Adding referendum as separate thing: Who can call for meeting (Board, Council, 1/4 of Ordinary members), can call an referendum, if decision proposal is provided. Referendums can decide on anything, but are only binding, if majority from all voting members of association is reached. (Where bigger (super)majority is needed, it naturally applies.) | ||
+ | - Removing moved provisions for Extraordinary meeting from Board powers. | ||
+ | ===== Manifesto | ||
