Some more questions from AffCom[edit]

Hello guys,

I have a few questions regarding your bylaws. Some of my colleagues may have additional questions. Here are mine, though:

  • Chapter 1
Article 2: This statement of purpose is a bit too aligned to the WMF.Please keep in mind that you are a different organization and that affiliating does not necessarily mean you must align 100% with the WMF. I'd suggest changing the language to show more you are a different and independent organization interested in promoting the values of the Wikimedia movement.
  • Chapter 3
Article 21: It seems this allows bylaw changes by only 10% of the members agreeing (over one-fifth of total members participated in and agreed by over half of participants). This would give too much decision power to a small group. I would suggest like at least a solid majority present and approving..2/3 present and 50% +1 approving.
Article 22: I don't think it is practical for the Chairperson to take notes during meetings -I mean, if the Chairperson can take notes, that would be awesome, but such role should be defined for a different person so that the Chairperson directs the meetings more effectively. Maybe appointing a Secretary.
  • Chapter 4:
Article 25: Could you please elaborate on which heavies are heavier than imprisonment?
  • Chapter 5
Article 37: I don't quite understand Article 37 -should a Trustee receive a wage?

This english draft of bylaw is totally different from current Korean bylaw, because we changed our bylaw according to a guideline of Seoul Government. As we mentioned in the top of the document, we should change the english draft. Why don't you talk about the bylaw after we translate the new Korean bylaw? --Mineralsab (talk) 09:36, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Then we will wait for the translated new version! Effeietsanders (talk) 10:23, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
