Hi Nice People,
Having gone through the by-laws i would like to suggest that;
* We edit the clause under membership that states that a non - member
denied the membership has right to appeal at next AGM. We could reduce
that down now that we are a young chapter and we would like to woo
members to WMKE.
* What if the person over seeing the election is not comfortable to
cast the tie breaker vote?I think we should hold a reelection
immediately. for instance, there was such a scenario at parliament
some time back and the speaker said they must hold the election
again... It would be fair that way.
otherwise thumbs up Abbas for preparing this and I feel that we only
need to clear the above two points and we good to go.
Once again, thank you.
Regards,
Stephen

Hey, I knew those existed, but somehow never got around to watching them.
Thanks for the reminder, Abbas! They're great!

We can consider changing the right to appeal to the next meeting rather than the next AGM. However, I think that membership denial will be a rarity.

Errrr, I don't totally agree with you in that. Personally, if you tell me to vote again, I will still select the same person(s), regardless of the re-election. you'd have to get support for me to change that clause. At Wikimedia UK, the tie breaker is the one overseeing the elections. At Wikimedia Australia, it's the Chairman who acts as the tie-breaker.

The videos are great.they remind us of the core objective of Wikipedia,to
edit and share knowledge.

Hi Nice people,
I downloaded these great videos and I was thinking we can include them in
our outreach package which we shall be showing to non members and even
existing members.
Thanks for the links, Abbas.
