Draft (explanatory) text for voting tool
Dear all, as discussed and decided at our last monthly calls, we need to prepare our next GA and the Bylaw modifications (two-third majority needed!) via an Online voting tool which will be send to our members - at least two weeks before the GA (preferably 10 May), - with a voting deadline of 10 days or 2 weeks (until the 24 May). Results to be presented and "formally" approved at our GA on 29 May in Belgrade. As agreed at our last call (action items), attached please find a draft text with explanations for each Bylaw modifications for review and necessary changes. IMO, the best (and formally correct) solution would be to have the "Accept" - "Object" - "Abstain" vote option on each of the three suggested modifications.

Dear Wolf, thank you for forwarding those. I am quite a well informed participant, so I may not have much of an objective judgement on this, but I am fine with this text and find it very clear. But hopefully someone who has a fresher look at this will be able to comment whether it's clearly understandable. Kind regards, Olivier Le 27/04/2011 03:21, Wolf Ludwig a écrit :

Dear Wolf at all, thank you for preparing this document, which sounds in addition of the links to the workspace very clear to me. Since the time I am actively involved in EURLAO I support the proposed modifications and the described voting procedure.

Dear Gisella and all, the only feedbacks on my draft (explanatory) text for the voting tool I got so far from Sandra and Olivier were affirmative, and I believe longer introductions and explanations to the issues may not necessarily promote clarity. If this is needed on a case to case basis, I can provide this by direct / private calls. But time is pressing now and I don't believe that there will be any further responses or advice from Board members (but still welcome ;-). As indicated in my previous mail, the Online voting tool should be circulated via the EURALO list at least two weeks prior to the GA (preferably 10 May) -- that means next Tuesday. And as I don't expect spontaneous and broad participation on the announcement and circulation of the tool, I / we need several days to mobilize the electorate to achieve the two-third quorum needed for the Bylaw modifications (= 19 member ALSes out of presently 28) -- what will be another challenge again. Do you think that At-Large Staff can prepare and provide the tool by the beginning of next week? Thanks for your reply and kind regards, Wolf sandra hoferichter wrote Mon, 2 May 2011 12:01:

Dear Wolf, We can set this up early next week, send through the vote to you and Olivier to approve and then send out for voting. We will prepare this with Matt Ashtiani. Thank you! Kind regards, Gisella On 05/05/2011 00:37, "Wolf Ludwig" <wolf.ludwig@comunica-ch.net> wrote:
