Dear all,
I remember that we are supposed to have a meeting this coming Saturday, 17th December 2011, to ratify the society's bylaws among other things.
Take some time and confirm whether you will be attending by answering a one question poll on the society's LinkedIn Group accessible at the link http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=4055917&type=member&item=85247296. Do join the group if you have not already done that.
Also remember to give your views about the bylaws at the link http://isockenyabylaws.wikispaces.com/ISOC+By+Law.
?
Regards and many thanks,
Davis M Onsakia

Dear Barrack and all,
Here are my comments (mainly on grammar and wording) regarding the
draft By-laws document.
Objects:
1. Section 3 clause 2: I think each clause should begin with a capital letter.
2. Also on Section 3 clause 2c should read: "To promote development of
THE Internet in Kenya through, among others, trainings and public
education; " INSTEAD of "To promote development of Internet in Kenya
through, among others, trainings and public education;"
3. Section 3 clause 2e: Would it be more appropriate if the clause
read: "To work together with other Kenyan and International bodies
with similar objects." [omit the from the sentence].
Membership:
Concerning membership fees you can deliberate on the amount. Hope it
would not be excessive as some members are students, interns and
job-seekers for whom the membership may be dear.
Rights:
You can insert the following right/prerogative (you can reword it):
- To participate and engage in any activities or projects laid out by
the Society's committees.
Duties:
The following obligation can be included:
- To promote ISOC's vision of the Internet is for everyone
Cessation of Membership
In clause 7c: The wording 'any cause' is too far reaching and some
causes may be frivolous. Please spell out some of the causes for
which a member can be expelled from the Society.
Reinstatement of Membership
Clause 8(1): Indicate which Article a member may apply for
reinstatement in writing to the Membership Committee. The clause is
'hanging' it reads:
" A person whose membership had ceased as provided for in Article 9
may apply in writing to the Membership Committee provided for in
Article for [sic]"
Board of Trustees
Under Clause 3 Capitalise the beginning of each clause.
Clause 5: The Board shall elect a "Director". I don't see why Director
should be quoted. Omit the quotes.
Clause 6: This may seem trivial the spelling of 'Offense'- Should we
use the British Spelling i.e. Offence
Secretary
Clause 13 (g): Duties of the Secretary. The Secretary shall:
- Submit of any proposed amendment ? Can it read: Submit any proposed
amendment (Omit of from the clause).
- Also noted under the duties of the Treasurer: "Carry out any other
duties incidental to this office." - Would it be appropriate to
enumerate some of these incidental duties?
Membership Committee
Clause 16 is also a 'hanging' clause as last part of the clause does
not specify which particular Article reinstatement of members can take
place.
" The Committee shall advice on questions of quorum and membership as
well as reinstatement of members as provided for in Article [sic] "
Funds
The fiscal date and year indicated is pretty vague it reads: July 1st
June 30th of each year. Could be reworded " The fiscal year of the
Society shall be from July 1st of the current year to June 30th of the
following year".
Dissolution
Should the society be dissolved its assets shall be transferred to the
global ISOC. This is a pretty hefty clause. Does the global ISOC
require the the transference of assets when a chapter dissolves? If
so, which assets would be targeted in the event of a dissolution?
