Appointment of Auditor
----------------------
JS/Cecil MOVED that Joani be APPOINTED Auditor of the Corporation, which
CARRIED unanimously.
Membership Resolution
---------------------
whiz/Maxamillian MOVED that the following resolution be ADOPTED: 'Members of
the Corporation who have not logged on to MOO Canada since August 1, 2002
shall be removed from membership.'.
Some questions arose as to whether the membership could adopt the resolution
and as to which members would fall within the category removed, which were
answered (first) in the affirmative and (second) as 'michele'. The motion
was CARRIED unanimously.
Property Resolution
-------------------
JS/Maxamillian MOVED that the following resolution be ADOPTED: 'That the
Corporation strike a committee to consider the management of its property,
viz. the moo.ca domain name and MOO Canada, with respect to their future
activities.'.
JS, at the prompting of the Chair, clarified the intended purpose of the
committee, to wit, to determine where the MOO should be proceeding in the
future and to propose such a course to the Corporation for adoption.
JS/Lao-Tzu then MOVED to APPEND 'And that the committee be composed of JS
as Chair, up to two members of the Board of Directors selected by the
Board of Directors, and up to two members appointed by the Chair, to
report to a General Meeting in no more than six weeks.'.
Some discussion ensued as to the merits of adopting a committee to perform
this task and it was noted that other methods of ameliorating the MOO's
future had failed.
The motion to APPEND was CARRIED unanimously, and discussion reverted to
the main motion.
Substantial discussion ensued as to the original intent of incorporating the
Corporation and whether the MOO itself was property of the Corporation. No
resolution to those questions arose.
After discussion on the most appropriate wording, including inchoate motions
from BenC and Maxamillian which were largely ADOPTED as FRIENDLY by JS, the
main motion read: 'That the Corporation strike a committee to determine the
extent of its property and to consider the management of such property; And
that the committee by composed of JS as Chair, up to two members of the
Board of Directors selected by the Board of Directors, and up to two members
appointed by the Chair, to report to a General Meeting in no more than six
weeks.'.
The motion CARRIED with JS, whiz, Maxamillian, and BenC in favour; Lao-Tzu
and Cecil opposed.
MOO Statistics
--------------
JS NOTED that he was collecting MOO statistics and pledged to make those
generally available at the first opportunity.
Adjournment
-----------
JS/Lao-Tzu MOVED to ADJOURN the General Meeting, which CARRIED unanimously.
