Friends,
We are now opening the discussion and ratification of Goals. We have made Goals an unnumbered Article within the by-laws, and agreed that a few simple goals for 2005 should be a Resolution of the Membership. The article will be numbered when we finish the remainder of the by-laws. You can see the article and Resolution in context here, 6th post down.
Actual Document
We will discuss from Mon Jun 6 ~6:00pm GMT to Thur Jun 16 ~6:00pm GMT. We will vote from Thur June 16 ~6:00pm GMT to Sun Jun 26 11:59pm GMT.
The purpose of the discussion is to uncover controversial items and remove them before voting. Please speak freely. Thanks, Jn.
Article (.): Goals
The Board will develop goals once a year and post them where all members can read them.
It is resolved that our Goals for 2005 are:
1. To open the board to the public
2. To decide whether to move to our own site
3. If we move, to resolve the related ownership issues by the end of the calendar year.
[ratification date goes here]
Note: The actual goals are not part of the Charter per se but are recorded as “Resolutions of the Membership.†As a matter of record-keeping, Resolutions are usually kept in the same place as the Charter - for us that means they are typed in at the end of the Charter, and we add to them as new ones appear.
THIS VOTE WILL REMAIN OPEN until Sunday, June 26, 11:59 pm GMT
