hi everyone,

just a few comments.

Board names.-gone are the days when a woman cant be called chairman.to avoid complicating issues,i suggest we stick to chairman.

proxy-i don't really know about this but ave never heard of a company that doesn't give its members the opportunity to vote by proxy.

project manager.-i think he/she should have the responsibility of gathering ideas from the members on what projects the members think the org should engage in.if the project is approved by the board then he/she will be in charge of liaising with the members to implement the proposed project.he/she will be responsible for how money is spent and is accountable to the board at the end of the project.

Hi Guys,
Frst of all I'd like to loud Abbas' efforts.I will be brief and to the point:

==Proxy==
I suggest that no poll be given to a proxy whatsoever,we delete that clause.

==Project Manager==
By acquiring a project Manager means we would be proffessionlisng our WMKE,I would suggest that we just make it "Office bearers".they will be assigned duties by the Board and will run/manage WMKE on bahalf and under the guidance of the Board.Otherwise having one on a voluntary basis as a Board member,i would suggest a few duties:
*determining suitable projects for WMKE to engage in
*overseeing the overall implementation of the projects under guidance from the Chair/Board
*making and drafting policy/proposals regarding WMKE projects....just my thought
==Official Language==
English and/or Swahili will be the official languages..."may" in the clause
==Finance==
I think we should add a clause that stipulates the signatories to the finances and expenditures of WMKE funds.Plus any spending by the Treasurer should be approved by the Board
==Board names==
though I know this will be a pain in...,just mischievous."Chairman" is quite chauvinistic,how about we adopt "Lead","Assistant Lead","Director" and such...:-)
plus in the spirit of our new constitution,we have a one 3rd office for the females....:-).its just a mischief,what do u guys think?
