Re: [WDDM] A proposal put for vote to all the WDDM members

["S'ace" <cjdegroot(at)wanadoo.nl>]

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

Note of Awareness

when i made my choice to agree ...

i was and still am aware of the fact, trusting my devoted webmasters, that apart from the verbs create / amend WE have other verbs, such as dialoque, inform, remember, formulate, express etc. that give me as a non-administrator member anough space and time to be with the core and the field of US.

May the force Be & Be with You ... rs,

>> 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

You can find these discussions in the "Internal WDDM

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

calendar days from now, i.e., by June 26,

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.
