Board responsibilities

The [ffii:www:Statutes Statutes] of the FFII only briefly mention the composition of the board, without going into any details as to what the responsibility of each member is, or what is the responsibility of the board. The following rules have been proposed. The board has found them interesting and is roughly following them for the time being, but they haven't formally adopted them. Many organisations have such details in their statutes, and it is possible that these rules will be proposed for inclusion in the statutes.

  1. The main tasks of the board are to manage members; manage the finances of the organisation; allocate funds to workgroups and designate and supervise workgroup leaders; and organise the membership assembly.
  2. The president presides at board meetings; prepares their agenda in co-operation with the secretary; has the authority to execute in the name of the association all bonds, contracts, deeds, leases, and other written instruments to be executed by the association; and cares for conformance to the statutes and to the decisions of board meetings and the membership assembly.
  3. The vice president, if one is elected, performs the duties and exercises the powers of the president in the absence or disability of the president. If more than one vice president is available and the president is absent or becomes disabled, the board chooses one vice president to perform the duties and exercise the powers of the president.
  4. The secretary prepares the agenda for board meetings in co-operation with the president; keeps records of the board meeting minutes and communicates them to members; notifies of board decisions the persons responsible for executing them, monitors progress, and reports back to the board; and keeps the registry of members. The secretary, in case of absence or disability, is replaced by the president or a person appointed by the president.
  5. The treasurer has custody of all association funds and financial records; keeps full and accurate accounts of receipts and disbursements, and renders accounts thereof at the board and membership assembly; and cares for the payment of membership fees.
  6. Except wherever otherwise mentioned in the statutes, board decisions are by majority of the number of board members.
