ARTICLE 1 - NAME
The Organisation shall be known as Open Source Health Care Alliance,
hereafter referred to as "OSCHA", and shall be registered in Malaysia.
ARTICLE 3 - CHAPTERS
Why is South America omitted? This collection of regions seems
complex. The boundaries between regions is not obvious from the
text. Why not use the same 6 global regions as FIFA?
ARTICLE 5 - MEMBERSHIP
5.2 - The Committee when rejecting an application SHALL provide a
reason.
ARTICLE 8 - COMMITTEE
9.8 - In the event of the death or resignation of a member of the
Committee, the Committee shall have the power to APPOINT any other
member of OSHCA to fill the vacancy until the next annual general
meeting, but the member shall have the right to decline to be
appointed to the Committee without resigning from OSHCA.
ARTICLE 11 - FINANCIAL PROVISIONS
11.2 - change "any officer or servant of OSHCA" to "any officer of
OSHCA or other volunteer"
ARTICLE 14 - INTERPRETATION
14.2 -- (improved wording) Except when contrary to or inconsistent
with a policy previously established by a general meeting, decisions
of the Committee shall be binding on all members of OSHCA unless or
until countermanded by a resolution at a general meeting.
ARTICLE 16 - PROHIBITIONS
16.4 - I don't understand this. Are Malaysian students who are
over 21 prohibited from joining OSHCA unless they have prior written
approval from the University?
ARTICLE 17 - AMENDMENTS
I would like to see a requirement that the exact wording of any
constitutional amendment must circulated ahead of a meeting. I fear
the opportunity for the general meeting to compose and pass a
constitutional amendment without prior circulation to the larger
membership.
Respectfully submitted,
[wr]
