Hi to all,
The overall feeling is very good.
Some comments "anyway":
3.1: Chapters and country branchs
I think this point should be made more accurate. It is eventually a very
important one, since local lobbying is of major interest.
Have local branchs to be non profit organizations?
Are local branchs members plain members of the main Oshca? Do they pay a
plain fee to main Oshca, or do the local branch keep some part of this fee?
I believe that this chapter must be properly elaborated.
4.2 Missions
My feeling is that point 4.2.6 "Enables collaboration of members..."
should be the first or second point in the list.
Details : 4.2.2 "Provide..." with no "s" while other points have a "s"
(Makes, Provides, Participates...)
To be more accurate on my feelings here: I believe that any valuable
association must be a think tank, where members find pleasure to meet
each other and learn from each other, before it can be a lobbying actor.
To make it short: build the group before acting as a group.
Article 8: General Meeting
There is no indication on the place where the General Meeting occurs.
Couldn't it be stated that the General Meeting should occur in the place
where the Annual conference is held.
I write this because point 8.3 gives a calendar that doesn't allow this
usual practice.
That's all for today... I return to my games of "Roulette, Lotto, Fan
Tan, Poh, Peh Bin, Belankai, Pai Kau, Tau Ngau, Tien Ngau, Tien Kow,
Chap Ji Kee, Sam Cheong, Twenty One, Thirty One, Ten and a half" before
they are officially outlawed for genuine open sourcers ;-)
Cheers,
Philippe
