Somehow I managed not to actually send my response, oops. * Which Model Rules are these based on? It may have changed, but a while ago there were subtle differences in Model Rules between states. * 21.3b says there are two ordinary committee members but 23.1 says there are three * What exactly does "commercial mapping entity" mean for the purposes of 4? * Not that it would be like likely, but if 8.7 is invoked, how does the "secret ballot" in 8.8d work with proxy votes allowed by 8.9 and telecommunication/electronic involvement? * "Special Resolution" is mentioned several times but not defined, which I assume means it is defined in the various state acts and is for things like changing the association's constitution/articles/rules/ whatever. If one is proposed the General Meeting can't be held by telecommunication/electronic means, what do we expect to happen in this situation? With respect to the membership fees from your other email, if normal membership is $20 do we need a concession rate? I'm not saying we shouldn't have one, just that the $10 difference would be a whole lot of money, even for poor students, and that it avoids us then having to figure out who exactly is eligible. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
