Hello everyone...
As many of you know, one of our stated goals was to become a registered
society. We researched the topic thoroughly in the Spring and discovered
exactly what we'd need to do. The Summer proved problematic time-wise, but
entering the Fall the Board finished a draft of the by-laws. Kudos to Jarrod
Major, Marcel Lecker and Keri Major for pitching in extra time and effort.
At this month's board meeting, we reviewed a draft of the by-laws in great
detail and they are now posted for public perusal at:
http://clug.digitaldemesne.net/
A link to this site will be appearing shortly at calgary.linux.ca. Once the
by-laws are officially accepted, they will be moved to calgary.linux.ca.
Before that point, however, we are openning the floor for public discussion.
All those interested should read the by-laws. If you have comments on them,
please email them to me at my personal address and I will CC the other board
members (Mahlah, Jarrod and Richie), or you can simply CC all of us yourself.
We will post these comments online (anonymously, unless specified otherwise)
alongside the by-law draft and reply in batch to the clug-talk list. We are
taking this approach so as not to flood clug-talk with a huge sprawling
thread on the beurocratic necessities of taking CLUG to societyship.
An open floor discussion wil be held at the next CLUG meeting (Nov 6th) on the
by-law draft, including a public reading of the articles. All interested in
participating are urged to attend.
We want to get any and all editting that may be necessary in light of comments
and conversation completed as quickly as possible. Our goal is that through
public processes we can make the by-laws acceptable to the group on-large in
a short time span.
In one month's time (November 24th), an online vote will be openned to ratify
the by-laws. All Tier Two members (that's those of you who have the nice
shiny cards ;) will have one week to place a vote. Once ratified, we can move
forward with the final processes of becoming a society.
Take care...
