Hi guys,
during today's Obj3 meeting we decided to add one more point to the
powers of Management Board:
"management board has the authority to make specific non-executive
positions and subcommittees to carry out particular projects and it will
assign members to do it (they will be accountable to the management board)"
Updated version of POWERS below:
1.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Highest instance of governing body, organized by executive committe
(chaired by someone neutral) and attended by all full members of the
organization.
An ordinary general assembly takes place once a year online (or in
person).
It is valid with the participation of at least 50% of full members
or the required quota in the country of registration of all full
members. (person who is not able to attend may authorise another
person to do so on his/her behalf)
The ordinary general assembly will be held at a date required by the
legal requirements of the country of registration and will:
- elect the management committe annually (among full members)
- receive scrutinizing reports from Council

An extraordinary general assembly can be called upon which deals
with any urgent matters requiring a decision of all members.
First General Assembly will be considered the founding assembly.
