debian.ch AGM 2010 on 2010-05-20

Hi all,

this is the announcement of the AGM 2010 of debian.ch:

   Date: Thursday, 20th May 2010
   Time: 20:00-21:00 (CEST aka +0200)
   Place: irc://irc.debian.org/debian.ch (OFTC)

Current (temporary) Agenda
==========================

Apart from the anually re-occuring things from every AGM (e.g. the
reports and elections[0]), the current temporary agenda contains the
following additional items:

Bylaws:
   - dba: Updating bylaws to current state of the art of legal writing

     The actuary proposes a new edition of the bylaws that are worded in
     the current lege artis, a longer mail with the diffs should be sent
     to community_at_lists.debian.ch before the final announcement of the
     AGM 2010. The proposed new bylaws will not change anything in
     substance though.

   - dba: Accepting bylaws translated to English as legally binding

     The actuary is doing a translation of the proposed new bylaws
     from German to English. Assuming the revised bylaws are accepted,
     he proposes to accept the English translation as legally binding
     alternative to the German ones. The translation should be sent
     to the mailinglist together with the revised bylaws (see above).

     Italian and French translations could be initiated after AGM 2010,
     assuming a qualified person can be found to create the translations,
     they could be declared as legally binding as well. Otherwise, they
     would stay as informal and unofficial translations for the time
     being (Luca and Didier already expressed their interest in probably
     doing that during AGM 2009).

   - dba: Changing the legal seat from Zurich to Bern.

     The actuary proposes to move the legal seat from Zurich to Bern,
     both for legal and political reasons.

   - dba: Write down in the protocol the reminder, that bylaws should be
     kept 'stable' for the next future, by not being tempted to put
     non-useful/non-required stuff inside.

   - mfk: revise membership:
     + membership should only be automatic for DDs with permanent
       residence in Switzerland
     + other DDs, and non-DDs with advocations, need to show up at the
       AGM when their membership is to be decided and introduce
       themselves, travel will (better: can) be funded.

   - mfk/ip(?): voluntary membership fee

Note about submitting items for the Agenda

anytime in advance, or at the AGM itself. However, all items of

[0] unless someone is extraordinarily stepping back from the board,
     there will be no elections on AGM 2010 since we've done elections
     for 2010 already on AGM 2009.
