Hi all, This is a notice for financial Wikimedia Australia members. I would like to officially announce the details of Wikimedia Australia's AGM for 2009-2010.
http://wikimedia.org.au/wiki/2009-2010_AGM <- this will have all the latest details, so please always check back here! It will be at 2pm AEDST, hosted at Computerbank in Melbourne with (hopefully phone) link-ups to other meeting places hopefully in a number of capital cities. If you can make it to another capital city, please consider helping out with organising a venue for this. The agenda is as follows: 1. Apologies, attendance (connect with returning officers in each locale) 2. Thanks 3. To confirm the minutes of the previous annual general meeting 4. To receive the committee reports 1. Treasurer (in accordance with section 30(3) of the Act) 2. Secretary 3. President 5. To elect officers of the Association and the ordinary members of the committee 1. President 2. Vice President 3. Treasurer 4. Secretary 5. Ordinary Members (2) Regarding the election - only paid members can stand. A nomination must have two member supporting it (as well as the candidate accepting it) and must be received by the secretary before Sunday 22nd November. (Email [email protected] with a subject "AGM - committee nomination") If there are more candidates than spots per office, an election will be conducted via memberdb in the week before the AGM. A couple of notes 1) If you are not financial (=acknowledgement of payment from a committee member) by Friday 27th, you will not be able to take part in the AGM. 2) We will endeavour to circulate the reports on [email protected] & the wiki ahead of the AGM, to let people have a chance to read and comment on them (hopefully alleviating the need for detailed discussion at the AGM itself - holding a distributed formal meeting is extremely awkward so the aim is to keep it brief) 3) I realise it's quite difficult at the moment to tell if you are a financial member or not. Memberdb is very confusing in this regard. We will endeavour to get this up to date and accurate ASAP. I think that's mostly it. Thanks Peter and Sarah for doing some announcing which I should have done earlier... If you have any questions feel free to ask. thanks, Brianna _______________________________________________ Wikimediaau-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
