9. General Assembly
- The board calls for a general assembly at least once a year. The invitation has to be sent out in written form at least four weeks before the date of the general assembly. The general assembly's tasks include:
- Election of the board and the financial supervisor
- Exoneration of the board
Treatment of proposals and, including statute changes
...
The general assembly only decides on propositions whose (at most 10 kb long) full text was at least for one month in advance proposed to all members. All members have the right to propose propositions and to ask 1-3 active members of their choice for an extensively justified position. The positions are to be distributed at least two weeks in advance on the public email distribution list of the association.
Propositions such as those mentioned in the previous paragraph, proposals for statute changes, and vacant board positions are announced to all members at least one month before the general assembly. The general assembly does not decide on propositions made later. But candidates for election to vacant board positions may step forward at any time up to and including the general assembly itself.
...
Justification: There have been questions about whether candidatures to board positions, and statutes changes - the text speaks of "Treatment of proposals and statute changes" - are 'proposals' and need to be announced in advance. These changes make it clear.
