[OLPC.ch] Statuten für eine Vereinsgründung: Vernehmlassung / article of association: consultation

[Niklaus Giger]

Hi

As I was busy to work on our quarterly newsletter "Nüüs vu Mullis", I had no time to participate
in the lively OLPC-CH discussion.

Here my 2 cents:

Statuten are overly compilicated. As a counter example I attache those from our local association,
which managed to survive over 100 years. I would propose to take it, change the few things we want different,
eg. languages, use of e-mail, HV in the first 6 months, only 3 members on the board.
And limit the "Zweckartikel" to two or at most three short sentences, which I would propose in German like:

Zweck des Vereins ist es, die vom MIT (Massachuasts Institute of Technology) initiierte Bewegung OLPC "One Laptop 
Per Child" in der Schweiz und auf der ganzen Welt zu unterstützen, um so allen Kinder auf dieser Welt
zu einer guten Bildung zu verhelfen.

Just for sake of simplicity. Already say who would benefit from the (possible) fortune left by dissolution of the
association (e.g. the red cross).

If you go into the proposed details you will have at every assembly a long (and probably heated) discussion
over the "Statutenänderung". If you leave most of the things open, you migth focus the discussions on the
problems to be solved and the initiatives to be taken. That is my experience collect in over 35 years of
members in different association.

Best regards
