Users and Members Suggestions

These are collected here for discussion and consideration before any AGM. There is no obligation.

• Presentation of the PoP and NRP-DAP for discussion. These policies may be voted by the board / policy group according to the DRAFT Policy on Policy, but they are of such significance to the basic structure of the community that they deserve the widest discussion.

• Update the Rules of the Association (Special Resolutions)
  • R42 Service of Notices -- to use email, post, etc.
  • R19,R20 Resignation -- committee to accept, obligation to hand over.

• OpenGovernance. These motions suggest that CAcert's community will be much better served if certain aspects of control and governance are open rather than closed. That is, we want to encourage a culture of open scrutiny, rather than closed convenience, especially to spot advanced attempts to reduce the rights and benefits of the community. In this, we may override the normal privacy customs.
