Organisational structure

  • All members elect a board of 3-7 people.
  • The board is responsible for running the everyday business of the user-group (administration, working on goals, supporting projects and vlunteers) and the strategic planning.
  • The board must produce a detailed report on its running the everyday business of the user-group and the strategic planning at least once a year, which is to be accepted by all members with simple majority.
  • The Board is responsible for drafting bylaws and plan out a path to becoming a future chapter. These are to be accepted by all members with absolute majority.
  • Projects can be run by anyone, regardless of whether the person is a member of the user gourp. The board is responsible for officially endorsing projects and appointing project managers.
  • The board might propose to create additional positions within the user-group tackling specific tasks. The newly created positions are to be accepted by all members with simple majority. The people filling these positions can be appointed by the board.
