ADOPTION OF MODEL RULES
At the previous meeting, it was agreed to put forward to the general
membership the proposal that we incorporate under the Model Rules for
an Incorporated Association before June 30th, the end of the financial
year. At that point, the existing commitee (President, vice president,
treasurer, secretary and two ordinary members) will become the
committee of the new association, and all office holders will retain
their current positions unitl the next general election.
Darren Dreis was nominated as vice president - moved by SH, seconded
by GB, carried. SH is to notify the MW mailing list of this, and call
for objections before June 13th.
The first general election was set for the September general meeting,
to be held under the model rules. Modifications to those rules will
continue to be discussed by WGStructure, and put ot a vote at a later
date - moved DCG, seconded TC, carried.
We went through the model rules point by point to make sure that
everyone in the WG was clear on them.
Meeting adjourned 9:24, re-convened 9:34
Some discussion of legal liability of the association for actions
taken by individuals which might injure themselves or others in
setting up their connections. MM advised that individuals are
generally liable for their own actions. MW offers information only. He
advised that a disclaimer on the website "couldn't hurt".
The fees for membership of the association were agreed as zero
joining fee, and a $5 annual subscription - moved SH, seconded TC,
carried.
The Melbourne Wireless mailing list is to be notified ASAP that
WGStructure has recommended association under the Model Rules before
June 30, with any modifications to those rules to be created and voted
on at a later date, and that the June 14th meeting will discuss and
vote on that issue. - SH to do. The same notice is to be posted to the
MW website. Both to contain a link to the Model Rules of Association,
and to appendix four (Fees).
In addition, we are calling for nominations, before or at that
meeting, for two ordinary members to be elected to the committee by
the membership. Anyone nominating, or being nominated and intending to
stand for election, should read and understand the Model Rules. This
notice also to explain that the existing committee (Pres, sec, VP,
treas) and the two elected members will become the committee of the
new association
