1. The inaugural meeting minutes
Present:
SteveMcIntyre (SAM)
DanielSilverstone (DS)
- Thom May
- Vince Sanders
- Rob Bradford
Late attendance:
- Matthew Garrett
Meeting was at 14:00 on 19th March 2005 in the Kingston Arms, 33 Kingston Street, Cambridge, CB1 2NU
SAM: The main point for being here is to set up the bank account. I have two grand in my savings account which needs protecting in case I die. Also it would be nice to not rely on trusting me to not spend it all on beer. To set up a bank account we need to set up a society. In order to do this we need a constitution which defines what the society is/does/membership and decision processes. Then we need a committee consisting of at least Chair, Secretary and Treasurer.
At this point, we discussed the constitution; the details of which are below.
DS called for a vote, the constitution was unanimously carried by the seven present.
DS then called for nominations for the committee. By unanimous agreement the committee is defined as:
- Chairman: Phil Hands
- Secretary: Vince Sanders
Treasurer: Steve McIntyre
SAM then called for a vote to adopt the constitution and accept the committee. This was carried by unanimous agreement.
SAM: The first AGM is defined to be on the 20th August 2005
SAM: This meeting is now closed.
2. The resulting constitution
- This document details the constitution of the society hereinafter referred to as 'Debian-UK' or 'the society'.
Membership of the society is defined as being the set of registered Debian Developers, recognised by the Debian Project and published on http://db.debian.org/, who are resident in the UK and who have not opted out of membership of the society.
- Membership is automatic and no subscription payments will be due.
- Any member may opt out of the society at will.
- The purpose of the society is to promote Debian and Free Software in general.
- The Debian-UK Committee will consist of three roles.
- The three committee roles are: Chair, Secretary and Treasurer
- Anyone in the committee or any three other Debian-UK members may call an extraordinary general meeting at two weeks notice.
- Meetings may occur physically or on the IRC channel #debian-uk on irc.oftc.net
- A meeting is defined as quorate if six members of Debian-UK (or the entire membership should it be below six) are present.
- The committee will be nominated and voted upon at the AGM.
- Should society membership drop below six members or should it not prove possible to elect a committee then an EGM will be called to attempt to elect a committee. If this second meeting fails to result in enough members or a society committee as required, funds will be defaulted to Software in the Public Interest earmarked for Debian.
- Motions are carried by simple majority.
- Should an EGM be called to dissolve the society a two-thirds majority is required containing at least one committee member.
- Signatories on the Debian-UK bank account are defined to be the members of the committee and any delegates thereof.
