Re: [Wikimediach-l] GA
I agree that Sunday morning is a poor time for our GA. Saturday afternoon is better, in my opinion, as long as we can change the date without too much hassle. It is important that we listen to the people who have been in contact with the Youth Hostel.

But before I do so, please someone from the board (Frédéric?) indicate me if we can actually move the GA without violation of bylaws, concerning invitation etc. /Manuel -- Wikimedia CH - Verein zur Förderung Freien Wissens Lausanne, +41 (21) 34066-22 - www.wikimedia.ch ___ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l ___ http://wikimedia.ch Wikimedia CH website Wikimediach-l mailing list https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediach-l
Re: [Wikimediach-l] GA
Yes Illario, that is exactly why Ludo raised the point more than 3 days ago. From the exact 5 emails that were exchanged during that time period everyone agreed Sunday was a poor choice. Also, considering there was one (1) registered participant so far, I take it that people did not exactly rush after receiving the email regarding a General Assembly taking place in another *two months *(I also kind of expect more reminders to be sent)*. :-)* Now correct me if I am wrong but Question asked + Replies + No disagreement + plenty of time = Discussion that reached a consensus What else exactly do you have in mind? Would you be more comfortable with a full week before moving forward with the change (which is fine by me)? Kind regards, Stephane 2014-01-31 Ilario Valdelli valde...@gmail.com: Hi Stephane, In my opinion it would be better to discuss mainly because we already sent (before this discussion was opened) the invitation to all members for Sunday morning.

I've looked at train schedules, and to be honest it is far from convenient : for people from Geneva or Lugano, this means taking the train at 6:12 or 6:45 in the morning (not everyone being able or willing to book a room at the youth hostel). The general assembly has until now be held on Saturdays and at the beginning of the afternoon. I believe we are still ahead of the meeting for the appropriate changes to be notified without much trouble. Could we not stick to this?
