Re: [WestNileNet] Member ship/Subscription to WNF

[Maandera]

Hi Bahemuka,

First a gentle correction: the name Maandera is a woman's. Thus no "Mr.
Maandera".

To your question: If you read the information from Mr. Alaka to which I was
responding, this should be very clear.

I hereby copy and paste for you the most relevant part:
We can all be on this forum which is interactive and informative. It has
assisted us a lot. But being on this forum does not mean that we are members
of West Nile Foundation.

At any rate, your question just goes to illustrate how some in this NET are
still not in the know about the membership, to say the least.

Regards,

Maandera.

Re: [WestNileNet] Member ship/Subscription to WNF

[aggrey adrale]

Hi Caleb,

Good you have reminded us by giving us this information, which though I presume 
many of the westnilenet visitors and I are well aware of.

I think the major concern is that the Secretariat and the cited documents 
defining the status of West Nile Foundation (or is it Forum) were circulated on 
line (I beg to be pardoned and stand to be corrected if you already went beyond 
the online publication or circulation)without legally binding adoption by the 
members.

With the concerns rife, I think let the Interim Secretariat go one step ahead 
to call a 'general' meeting where we can adopt the leadership, documents and 
some hitherto online resolutions, which then can be legally entertained. We 
have had time for meetings like the Science Cafe and I belive aspiring WNF 
members can spare one hour for this meeting. The faster this was done the 
better for all of us to move and act in unison in the businesses of WNF. 
Probably this has been the snag behind the failure of aspiring members not 
subscribing to the WNF.

I propose you discuss the above proposed strategy on the sidelines of the 
Thanks-Giving prayers at Mr. James Nyakuni's residence in Munyonyo on Saturday 
5th March 2011. Hopefully the Interim Secretariat of WNF will be present and 
willing to do that.

Thank you.

Aggrey Adrale

Mr. Maandera,
I thought the birth of the Westnile Foundation was conceived from the net
implying that by default all members of the net are members of WNF?! Please
remind me if not true.

Re: [WestNileNet] Member ship/Subscription to WNF

[Maandera]

Dear all,

Based on Mr. Alaka’s mail dated “Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at 1:20 AM” to the net on
“Member ship/Subscription to WNF” I would like to comment on these *two*issues
:

*1. Membership to the WNFoundation. *

Mr. Alaka indicated that

We incorporated WNF as a body corporate with capacity to transact any
business in its own name. We developed the Mid term Strategic Plan. We are
to establish a secretariat to operationalise and achieve the objectives of
the Foundation. We developed the Mid term Strategic Plan. We are to
establish a secretariat to operationalise and achieve the objectives of the
Foundation. We* did agree on the annual membership fee. To date we shy away
from paying the same* (emphasis mine).

Although I remember something to the effect of a set membership fee, I could
not get the reference. (I suppose my skills of back searching archived mail
in the net is not very good)

However, considering the fact that some members on this net, like me, are
still confused on this agreed upon membership fee (kindly refer to brother
Achile Fendru’s letter on Feb 23rd plus related discussions up to Feb 24th
https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#inbox/12e53a2960eb3c77),
you will do the NET a great service if you brought out these
documents/references here AGAIN. From the related discussions based on
Fendru’s reminder, it is clear to me that the majority of potential members
are not aware that “We did agree on the annual membership fee”.

Please, Mr. Alaka or whoever in the leadership of the WNF is
responsible, I request you kindly to

i) highlight and reference these documents; and,

ii) guide the members AGAIN, on the payment modalities

I think, this might be one of the things holding the operationalization of
the membership fee and with it, a lot of other things in the mid term
Strategic Plan.

Or are there some who went ahead and already paid membership? How many
people then are in this category?

*2. Carrying out the business of the WNFoundation. *

A few minutes later, another mail from Mr. Alaka, dated “Thu, Mar 3, 2011 at
1:37 AM” under the subject[image:
https://mail.google.com/mail/images/cleardot.gif]”[WestNileNet] Get together
Party with our newly elected Political Leaders”, went ahead and noted how
the WNF (not the net) “*intends*” to “[*o]**rganize an interactive get
together party for the newly elected Members of Parliament, L.C V
chairpersons, Mayors, opinion leaders, Business community and C.A.O's from
West Nile.*” scheduled, tentatively, for 26th March 2011. From this mail,
members of the Net (many of who – including I – may not be members of the

*“The President of the Republic of Uganda may be the Chief Guest. This get
together is intended to ensure that we begin a new chapter in the Political
history of West Nile. We need to join hands as West Nilers to push our
development agenda. “ *

I will not comment on the apparent seriousness of this event, considering
that the president is scheduled to be the GoH.

However, I wish to note this:

While such moves in the name of the WNF are commendable *especially if done
in the name of the WN-Foundation *(not the Net), I think it is high time the
leadership did better in *mobilizing membership to the WN-Foundation* than
what they seem to be doing so far. It would be a shame after you have
struggled to have the organization registered to fail to get members
registered into it. What is the matter? What is happening?

That’s it for now.

[WestNileNet] Member ship/Subscription to WNF

[alaka caleb]

Colleagues,

We incorporated WNF as a body corporate with capacity to transact any
business in its own name. We developed the Mid term Strategic Plan. We
are to establish a secretariat to operationalise and achieve the
objectives of the Foundation. We did agree on the annual membership
fee. To date we shy away from paying the same. We must appreciate that
to-date, we are on this forum because Kigs is magnanimous. To host us
needs a server and this means that some one is incurring costs. Lets
be clear on this one. We can all be on this forum which is interactive
and informative. It has assisted us a lot. But being on this forum
does not mean that we are members of West Nile Foundation. Yes If we
support the Foundation, it may in future sustain the cost of not only
hosting this forum but also its own website. So can we be honourable
and start contributing our membership fees to the Foundation to enable
us execute its objectives.
