I've changed your digest options. I'm opening the link and it's working perfectly in my side. Abbas.

Thanks Abbas, But then , the link you sent me leads to some blank page, and again, how do I change my digest settings to 'off' as you suggested?

Cliff,

You might want to change your digest settings to off -- which is why you have a problem keeping up to speed.
Abbas.

Hey Abbas,
Where can I read the bylaws of wikimedia kenya? I haven't had a look at them.

Erm, I think we forgot no.6:
- If someone just doesn't pay fees, when will he/she no longer be a
member? Usually bylaws have a clause saying something along the lines "if you didn't pay your dues for more than a year, and two reminders have been sent the board may remove membership from you".
My opinion is that if you haven't paid the membership fees, you aren't considered as a member so we wouldn't have to "remove membership" from you in the first place. This, of course, doesn't mean that such a person is not allowed to attend meetings, etc but what he can not do is vote. I also suggest that members should also be given priority over non-members when it comes to participating in projects. (e.g., it would be unfair to take a non-member to Mombasa for the Wikipedia for Schools project when there was a member who wanted to go.)
Abbas.

Here's what Stephen and I suggested:
A minimum of one third of the members can call for a Special Resolution
Meeting, with notice given to all members at least 7 days in advance.
However, a majority of two thirds of the members' votes shall be
required to
remove a director, or the whole Board.

Abbas,
I suggest we say 10% of the members can call for a "Special
Meeting"
to express a vote of no confidence in the board.However such a vote
should only be considered valid if atleast 30% of the members
partake
in it and that the voting out of the board/resolution should be
supported by 50% +1 of the voting members(i.e the 30% present)....
May I try to interpret what you are saying in actual figures?
10% of ~20 members = 2 members.30% of ~20 members = 6 members51% of
the
6
members = 4 members
So therefore in simpler terms, what you are saying is that at least
2
members can call for a Special Resolution and the vote is only
considered
valid if at least 6 members partake in the voting and the voting out
of
the
board should be supported by at least 4 members?
If this is what you are implying, I disagree with it. Once again, I
borrow
precedence from Wikimedia Deutschland's case (mentioned earlier
upthread)
where they require a majority to remove the Board. 6 out of 20
members
is
not a majority.
Your interpretation is correct.And yes that's my thought and the %
were arbitrary.We could revise them upwards.Plus am considering the
fact that definitely not all members will be present nor would partake
in the elections.Maybe we revise the % upwards??
