as at August 15/94 - GG TELECOMMUNITIES CANADA FOUNDING MEETING PROCEDURES: NOMINATIONS FOR BOARD OF DIRECTORS, RECOMMENDATIONS, AND VOTING We will operate under the proposed Telecommunities Canada by-laws. To make this work, we need an interim Board of Directors in place before the August 17 meeting begins. Anyone interested and qualified to serve as a director should pass their name to the nominating committee as follows: Nominations / Recommendations Committee - Lisa K. Donnelly, NCF Interim Director of Ops (am412@freenet.carleton.ca) - Gordon Pearson, NCF Director of Development (au167@freenet.carleton.ca) We'll identify Lisa Donnelly and Gordon Pearson during the opening ceremonies and call for nominations. As per the by-laws, the details of who qualifies are as follows: 8. The property and business of the corporation shall be managed by a board of a minimum of seven (7) directors to a maximum of fifteen (15) directors of whom four (4) shall constitute a quorum. Directors must be individuals, 18 years of age, with power under law to contract. *DIRECTORS MUST BE MEMBERS.* 2. Membership in the corporation shall be limited to members of incorporated Canadian freenet organizations, three to be appointed by each individual board. (PLEASE NOTE: the word "freenet" is used as a generic term. We've encouraged participation by any form of community network utilizing electronic public space for the purposes of community development) 17. The board of directors may appoint an Executive Committee for such purposes and with all such powers as the board of directors may determine from time to time. Also anyone or any group with a concern that they feel should emerge on the TC agenda should pass a written recommendation to Lisa Donnelly or Gordon Pearson. During the final Plenary session of the conference, August 16th, the Nominating committee will report, and nominations will close. If we have less than 15 nominations, we'll have a motion of acclamation the following day. If we have more than 15, we'll have an election on the 16th. The new Board will hold a meeting Tuesday evening, August 16, to appoint an executive committee and to plan the agenda for the next day.
