Constitution of the Open Source Health Care Alliance Hi Molly, A few questions/suggestions. 9.3 - Names for the above offices in Article 9.1 shall be proposed and seconded and election will be by a simple majority vote of the members at the annual general meeting on alternate years. All the office-bearers shall serve for two years and be eligible for re-election. How many times can any one of the office bearers be re-elected? Should there be a restriction? 10.6 - The Ordinary Committee Members shall carry out such duty as directed by the President or the Committee. "under the guidance and approval of the President and Committee"? Constitution of the Open Source Health Care Alliance 11.2 - Subject to the following provisions in this rules, the funds of OSHCA may be expended for the purpose necessary for the carrying out of its objects, and to spend at the end of the financial year approximately seventy percent (70%) from the income and donation received.Expenditures may include the expenses of its office-bearers and paid staff, and the audit of its accounts, but they shall on no account be used to pay the fine of any member who may be convicted in a court of law. Is it compulsary that we spend 70% or is that the maximum allowed? Constitution of the Open Source Health Care Alliance 16.4 - No University/College student can be allowed to be a member of OSHCA without the prior written approval from the Vice Chancellor of the University concerned. This clause shall only be applicable in Malaysia and any other country that has a similar restriction. Membership for University/College students may need the prior written approval of the Head of the University concerned. This applies in Malaysia and any other country where such rules and restrictions apply. NandA Constitution of the Open Source Health Care Alliance

The registration document is at version1 draft 3, sent out to the Protem Committee yesterday. I think we are quite close to the final draft, which will be uploaded to the list for comments and discussions, hopefully by tomorrow but for a limited period of time, possibly 7 days. I would also need to submit a list of resolutions for adoption, essentially to say that we all agree to the registration of OSHCA and adopting the constitution. I had been to see the Registrar of Societies and obtained the necessary forms that was used as sample to develop the registration constitution/document. I had also spoken to GKP which used the incorporation method for their organisation - company limited by guarantee with a non-profit status. As a company is more costly to maintain, preliminary view of some protem committee members feel that we register under the Societies Act. We will then provide a list of items for discussions (as guidelines) but you're welcomed to comment on any item, except for those which constitute minimal requirements for registration in Malaysia. Issues to think about are: types of membership membership info membership dues OSHCA chapters/country branches office-bearers - how many, length of term etc. Rgds, Molly --------------------------------- YAHOO!
