[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Österreich - General Assembly

[Manuel Schneider]

Dear all,

last weekend Wikimedia Österreich (Austria) had its General Assembly in
Linz.

A new board has been elected:

* President: Kurt Kulac (as before)
* Vice President: Alexander Wagner (new)
 - Christoph Breitler didn't recandidate
* Secretary: Beppo Stuhl (as before)
* Vice Secretary: Michael Karolzak (new)
 - Ingo Allmer didn't recandidate
* Treasurer: Reiner Strubert (as before)
* Vice Treasurer: Michael Kranewitter (as before)
* Adviser: Andrea Kareth (new)
 - Denis Barthel didn't recandidate
* Adviser: Bernhard Wallisch (new)
 - Manuel Schneider didn't recandidate - WCA Council Member

This General Assembly was also an opportunity to meet Claudia Garád, our
Director who started her work on October 1st.

There were some changes in the bylaws:
* the seat of Wikimedia Österreich moves from Graz to Wien, where we
rented an office a few weeks ago
* Members who didn't pay their membersgip fee despite a reminder until
the General Assembly have no voting right. They can regain it by
clearing the membership fee with one of the treasurers.
* several cosmetic changes with no change in the meaning

The WCA Council Member, formerly appointed by the board, has been now
approved by the General Assembly.
