Dear WDDM members!
A group of five "Active" WDDM members have been having discussion in
the
WDDM Forum about how to move closer to the re-establishment of a
functioning
WDDM. You can find these discussions in the "Internal WDDM Discussions
Folder"
at http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/forum/index.php?3, in the "WDDM
Membership Guidelines" forum. We have come up with a proposal for the
"WDDM
Membership Structure and Rules", and we want to put this proposal to the
vote
of all the current WDDM members before we proceed further.
We recommend that you read all the discussions in the "WDDM Membership
Guidelines" forum, and possibly in other related forums in the "Internal
WDDM
Discussions Folder" so that you can make an informed decision.
The proposal is attached below.
The vote on this proposal is a simple YES/NO vote.
You can either ACCEPT (YES vote) or REJECT (NO vote) this proposal.
The decision on this proposal will be made on the basis of the majority
of
all who have voted within 7 calendar days from now, i.e., by June 26,
15:00 MST
(or 17:00 EST, or 21:00 GMT/UTC, or June 27, 6:00 Tokyo time).
To make it easy for all the WDDM members, the vote on this proposal is
by
e-mail, send you votes in to wddm@world-wide-democracy.net (or simply
reply to
this e-mail).
Thank you,
Mirek

THE PROPOSAL that is the subject of this vote (also posted at: ):

Beginning of the
proposal ----------------------------------------------------

WDDM Membership Structure and Rules
===================================

SUMMARY:

Our past experience shows that there are roughly two groups who want to be
associated with WDDM.

1. There is a larger group of people who support WDDM goals (to various
extent)
but are currently not able to participate more actively. These persons
will be
called the WDDM Associate Members. They constitute a loose Association
without
any further internal structure. WDDM Associate Membership is granted
without
approval to all interested persons who complete the registration form at
http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/forum/register.php. However, their
membership can be terminated, if their behaviour is in complete
contradiction
to the WDDM mission.

2. The second, smaller group consists of people who are able and willing
to be
active in the WDDM operations. They will be called the Administrators (or
Operating Members, Active Members, or Ordinary Members - the exact name
chosen
may be the subject of further discussion). They can create whatever
structure
(officers, Board) they deem necessary for the efficient functioning of
WDDM.
This group of Administrators can be seen as the WDDM proper - an
Organization
within the larger pool (or association) of associate members. Any
Associate
Member can apply to become an Administrator. Such applications are
processed
and approved by all current Administrators.


PROPOSED RULES:

RULE A: Only the current Administrators shall hold authority to create or
amend
the WDDM Operating Rules or Constitution.

RULE B: All members can make suggestions relating to WDDM's operations,
but
final decisions shall be made only by a consensus of the organization's
Administrators.

RULE C: Any Administrator, who fails to vote at official WDDM polls (for
more
than five (5) times or more) during a period of more than six (6) months
without an acceptable reason submitted to the Operating Members shall be
relegated to Associate Member status.

RULE D: Any Administrator member shall be relegated to Associate Member
status
should 75 percent of the Administrators vote in favour of such a motion.


To become a WDDM (Associate) MEMBER: an individual must complete the
application form found at www.world-wide-democracy.net.


To become an ADMINISTRATOR: a member shall have actively participated in
WDDM
discussions for no less than six (6) months and must complete the
application
form found at www.world-wide-democracy.net.

End of the proposal ----------------------------------------------------

Attachment to the Proposal:

The Administrator application form will contain the fields for the
applicant's
full real name and mailing address, and the following information on the
approval process:
1. The Administrator Member Application is sent to all the current
Administrator Members for review.
2. The Administrator Application Review will be completed within 90 days.
3. An applicant will be immediately accepted as a WDDM Administrator if
not
more than 20% of the current Administrators have any objections to her/his
Membership.
4. An applicant will be immediately rejected if 80% or more of the
Administrators are against her/his Administrator Membership.
5. If none of 3. or 4. applies, the application is suspended until a
consensus
(either 3. or 4.) is achieved.
