Votable Points
0 Moving
added by User:Control-K
Two plans for adding more hacking space are on the table right now:
- Add space behind the beamer wall to ours
- move to WG building
more details can be found at the Space_Requirements/Location_Proposals page. Note: if we stay at ACTA and rent the adjoining space, we can relinquish the storage space to decrease our total rent by ~100 euros.
TODO: Decide on voting on space. (Wizzup removed the previous suggested method as it does not suffice)
Options:
- Add extra 46m2 behind the beamer wall to our space
- Move to the WG building
- None of the above
1 Membership fee per month
Article 7.3 from our statutes allows the ALV to decide that members are allowed to pay their membership fee on a monthly basis instead of the standard yearly basis.
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
Members can choose to pay their membership fee yearly or per month. If they choose to pay per month they must pay before the 7th of the month they pay their membership fees for.
2 Commitment to membership fee
2a Vote
To get a clearer view on our finances we can ask our members to commit to a membership fee for the coming year.
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
On joining techinc a person will commit to a certain membership-fee and communicate this to the board. If the member wishes to change his/her commitment he/she can do this in the first two weeks of the new calender-year.
2b Vote
If point 1 passes it is also important to know if a member is paying on yearly basis or monthly basis. If point 1 fails the following point will not be voted upon
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
On joining techinc a person will commit to either yearly payments of the membership-fee or monthly payments. If the member wishes to change his/her commitment he/she can do this in the first two weeks of the new calender-year.
2c Vote
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
Any member can request a change of his or her membership fee throughout the year, but will have to provide valid reason to the board. Valid reasons can be, but are not necessarily limited to: moving house/job relocation/getting fired/unforeseeable financial setbacks. Ultimately it is at the board's discretion. The board is expected not to accept trivial or fabricated reasons as valid justification.
3 Membership for existing members
If one of the three votes from point 2 passes, existing members should commit to a membership-fee/payment period and inform the board of this. If point 2 fails the following point will not be voted upon.
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
Existing members will inform the board of their membership-fee-commitment before the 7th of Febrary 2014
4 Non paying members
Added by Control-K
At the moment nothing happens when a member stops paying. To get a better overview of our members and make sure people don't just forget to pay while they want to, the following is proposed.
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
* When a payment is missed, an automated email will be send to the member with a reminder. * If after a month the payment is still due, a board member will try to personally contact the member. * If after 2 months the payment is still due, your fob will be disabled and an other email will be send by the board. * If after 3 months the payment is still due, you will no longer be a member.
To clarify, the definition of "month" herein shall be the payment due date (refer to point 1 above) plus 31 days. OR will it be the end of the month that was not paid for plus 31 days? [We have to decide on one or the other]
5 Warning system and revoking membership
Can somebody add this who knows what the plan is?
6 Making the established rules part of the huishoudelijk reglement to ratify them
The following point will be voted upon with a yes/no vote, if the vote passes, it will be added to the huishoudelijk regelement:
Our rules, as published on the wiki since $date, shall from now on become part of the huishoudelijk reglement.
