Peter<br><br>Thanks for your message which has now got to us.<br><br>I
think you should also have received an email from our secretary Sarah in
regards to the AGM - particularly with regards our move to a postal
vote this year.<br>Please contact me directly - or write to this list again if you need further answers on this matter.<br><br>In
regards to nominations - we will be seeking them very soon - but of
course those nominations (and the right to vote) will apply to financial
members only.<br>My advice to you on this is that you send your payment
to Sarah in the next day or two so you can take part in the process -
particularly because renewal of memberships occurred on July 1st.<br><br>I'm
going to leave your final point with regards opening the wiki - we've
had that discussion many times as a committee and to date we have not
reached a consensus or vote in favour of doing so. However as for any
matter a new committee may come to a different conclusion.<br><br>Steve<br><br><br>> Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 13:46:14 +1000<br>> From: thepmaccount@gmail.com<br>> To: comm@lists.wikimedia.org.au<br>> CC: wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org<br>> Subject: [wma-comm] Follow up my update request :-)<br>> <br>> Hi all,<br>> <br>> I tried to get in touch with you a while ago, but it occurs to me that<br>> perhaps my attempted forward of the below didn't really work, because<br>> I forwarded a reply, not an actual message - if my post seemed<br>> confusing, please accept my apologies.<br>> <br>> I'm growing increasingly concerned with the way the AGM is being<br>> prepared, and though there may be nothing to worry about, I would<br>> greatly appreciate a response to my questions below, to which I'd only<br>> add a polite inquiry as to why and how the decision was taken to move<br>> to a postal vote this year (<br>> http://www.wikimedia.org.au/w/index.php?title=2010-2011_AGM&curid=535&diff=2813&oldid=2805<br>> ) - seems a little odd to me, strange that it shouldn't have been<br>> announced perhaps a little wider, and fwiw, I haven't received any<br>> post of any kind from WMAU to date - should I have?<br>> <br>> * Membership Renewals - I may well have missed something, but did a<br>> formal renewal notice go out? How are renewals looking this year? (I<br>> know I haven't stumped up yet!) - as a member I feel a little<br>> under-engaged to be honest, and would like to see a wee bit more<br>> proactivity from whomever is taking care of this stuff (knowing who's<br>> accepted what responsibility would be great, for example - and<br>> apologies if I've missed the obvious!)<br>> <br>> * Committee Nominations - could the sec. confirm whether or not there<br>> have been any properly submitted nominations to date - the AGM is<br>> around the corner, and I think the process of discussion / Q + A etc.<br>> is probably healthy to kick off at this point?<br>> <br>> * An Open Wiki - please please please open up the WMAU wiki to allow<br>> registrations and editing by non members - I'll happily make the case<br>> for this, but please just do it!<br>> <br>> cheers,<br>> <br>> Peter,<br>> PM.<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> comm@lists.wikimedia.org.au<br>> Guidelines: http://comm.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Comm_mailing_list<br> </body>
