[Qgis-psc] QGIS AGM 2018

[Matthias Kuhn]

Thanks for the feedbacks Tim and Vincent.

I have tried to write this down as good as I can as a layman and non native.


I would propose to add a paragraph under section 8, after

    Every officially convened general meeting has a quorum. At elections
and for voting a simple majority (more than 50%) of the present members
decides, except for the cases listed in sections 6.1, 7.1. and 5.4.

The new amendment shall read

    Proposals can be handed in with their final text by any voting
member or PSC member up to 28 days before the AGM and need to be
supported by a second member of these categories. Proposals will be sent
to all voting members 28 days before the AGM. Motions can be withdrawn
by the author up to 7 days before the AGM. The PSC has the possibility
to present one or more counterproposals for any of the pending proposals
up to 14 days before the AGM.


I'm not sure if we want to write this down as well, but in case of
counterproposals, the mode should be

[ ] I agree to proposal A

[ ] I agree to counterproposal B

[ ] I prefer proposal [A/B] in case both are accepted


I highly encourage anyone to comment and improve on content and wording.

For instance

 * I am not completely sure if this "Motions can be withdrawn by the
author up to 7 days before the AGM." makes sense, i.e. to give the power
to withdraw to a single person. Maybe better to have it read "Motions
can be withdrawn up to 7 days before the AGM if both, author and PSC,
agree to this move."

 * We might need to add a delay between the motion hand-in deadline and
the sending of the proposal (hand in 30 days before, send out 28 days
before), just to make sure this is not too tight for the administrative
effort.


Thank you for any constructive comments!

Best regards

Matthias
