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

Hi,
I have uploaded the OSHCA-registration_v1draft4 in pdf format for
discussion on its contents. Please feel free to comment on any articles
in the constitution. For ease of documentation, please quote the article
number before giving your comments or proposals here.
Please also suggest how dissent should be handled. We hope to include
your proposals into the draft document, unless there are dissenting
views in which case either the protem will decide or there would be a
vote. However, please note that the constitution is a living document
and amendments can also be made later.
Please also note that there are some provisions that will be specific in
Malaysia such as Article 16 and Malaysian citizens such as Article 16.4.
I have yet to include provisions that would be needed to obtain a tax
free status for OSHCA. The only requirement I've included in so far is
that of Article 11.2.
We hope to have this process completed at the end of a 7-day period. By
then, I would put up the agreed resolutions for acceptance by the
members which would form part of the documentations that would be
submitted formally to the Registrar of Societies for registration. Below
is a sample resolution for the formation of OSHCA. If you would like to
add other resolutions please suggest on this list as well.
_Formation of an Organisation_
It was resolved that:-
1.1. This protem Committee form Open Source Health Care Alliance in
accordance with the Societies Act 1966, and the Societies Regulations
1984, and all subsequent amendments:-

_Constitution_
A draft constitution, based on the Model Society Constitution
supplied by the Office of the Registrar of Societies, was tabled by
the protem committee for discussion and adoption.
It was resolved that:-
1.5. The Constitution, as discussed and amended (and attached to these
minutes), be written out in full for signing by two Office Bearers for
submission to the Registrar of Societies, and a meeting of potential
members on a date to be decided.
Moved by :
Seconded by:
Passed : Unanimously.
_Registration of the Organisation_
It was resolved that:-
1.6. The protem President proceed with the completion of the
registration forms to ensure a temporary registration as soon as possible.
Moved by :
Seconded by:
Passed : Unanimously
One major question I have is: Should only those who participate in the
resolution to accept the constitution be accepted as initial members of
OSHCA and what are the members information we need to have in the
membership register?
Target date for submission
