4. 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.
- Delegates of the committee must be nominated and seconded by members of the committee.
- Nominations and motions should be sent to the Secretary two weeks in advance and to the general membership one week in advance of any given meeting.
- Ballots are non secret and all vote results will be published.
