Re: Timeline for the upcoming elections



Hey folks,

I just realised, that "the President" or "a Director" shall call for for
the elections:

Here the bylaws including my comment:
bylaws as of April 5, 2002 wrote:
Notice of Meetings 
-----------------------------------------

A notice of each annual meeting, written ballot for election of Directors or otherwise, if
any, and special meeting shall be given by the President or, in case of his or her failure or refusal, by
any other officer or any Director; shall specify the place, time, day and hour of the meeting or the
date on which the ballot shall be returned, if applicable; in the case of an annual meeting at which
Directors shall be elected, shall specify the names of all those who are candidates for election of
Directors at the time the notice is given, and in the case of special meetings, the nature of the
business to be transacted thereat. Such notice shall be given in writing to every member of the
Corporation who, on the record date for notice of the meeting, is entitled to vote thereat. Such notice
shall be given either personally or by sending a copy thereof by first-class mail or by telephone
communication, including a voice messaging system or other system or technology designed to
record and communicate messages, telegraph, facsimile, electronic mail, or other electronic means,
either directly to the member or to a person at the member's office who would reasonably be
expected to communicate such notice promptly to the member at least thirty (30) days prior to the
date fixed for such meeting in the case of an annual meeting and at least ten (10) days in the case of
all other meetings.

:comment:`Hm. The President has to call for elections? That's a bit ruff`

So well, as with the other mail I sent, I think we should prepare to
make amendments to the bylaws. I would expect some sort of legal advice
to be necessary.

Up to that point I think the current president should send the
announcement I prepared.
And one might also read the fact from the bylaws, that the notice
(including all candidates) shall be send 30 days days prior to the
closing date for the elections. In that case, a new schedule must be
prepared.

Cheers,
  Tobi
