Hi Randy
In Germany and Switzerland there is a general requirement for one Yearly
meeting where the books and the Leadership gets discharged in a vote and
where members can bring in Topics to have a say in the Associations work.
Since this Association will be a funding body it is not about technical
decisions but more about structure and related topics. Technical topics
are best discussed on the lists here. And other online groups.
While we assume that not all members would show up for every meeting
having enough members does make sure we will always have enough members
in every meeting.
With the amount of people already signed up I think it is ok to only
participate in part of the activities we will have. One Online meeting
(event) per Year and the Membership fee of 30 Euros per year is
mandatory the rest is optional.
I am also thinking on how to make the meeting less tedious so that
people can mingle and use it as an event to talk and meetup. I remember
some software where we could do this Online.
Hope this clraifies things
Greeting
Till

Generally speaking, I have interest *and* knowledge in these areas, but
am mostly winding down my career towards retirement.
So my question is how might a member with limited interest and
contribution fit into this association (though, a supplemental question
is also how much interest the community in general has for these two
items, as over the last decade I've felt more reluctance than desire).
Cheers!
