NetSurf Society membership and AGM, 2013

Greetings.

This mail is to establish the society membership (and thus voting rights) and
to indicate the AGM for 2013 along with asking for any business to be brought
up at the meeting.

Last year's society committee consisted of:

Michael Drake, Chair
John-Mark Bell, Treasurer
Daniel Silverstone, Secretary

Last year's non-committee membership consisted of:

Rob Kendrick
Chris Young
Vincent Sanders
François Revol
Steve Fryatt

By constitutional point 2.1, anyone who has committed code in the past 12
months (or had code committed on their behalf) is eligible for membership of
the society. By point 7.2, anyone ceasing to qualify to be a member of the
society is automatically removed from the list.

Based on the last year of commits, nobody was removed from membership and the
following people are eligible to join the society if they so choose:

Ole Loots
Vivek Dasmohapatra
Anthony J. Bentley
Adrien Destugues
Craig Barnes
John Tytgat

If any of the above wish to attend the AGM and be able to vote/raise issues
then they should contact me directly (not on list) to indicate such as per
constitutional point 5. A simple "I wish to be part of the NetSurf Society"
type statement will be sufficient.

The AGM this year is to be held on August 10th at 11:00 UK time (which will be
10:00 UTC). As with previous AGMs it will be held on the NetSurf IRC channel
and as such will be open for all to attend. Please do not actively say
anything in-channel unless you are part of the membership of the society
however. (We may moderate the channel for the duration if necessary).

Since the agenda rarely, if ever, changes, I hereby state that unless anyone
actively objects, it will be:

1. Welcome
2. Secretary's Report
2. Treasurer's Report
3. Chairman's Report
4. Committee Election
5. Project steering
6. A.O.B
7. Closing

If you have any input on the 'Project steering' section, feel free to pass it
on to a committee member or a society member so that they can prepare a
statement for the meeting.

We also require nominations and seconds for committee positions. I personally
nominate Michael to remain as Chair and John-Mark to remain as Treasurer.
Nominations and seconds should be sent to the list in response to this message
such that we can all see what is going on. Nominations will close one week
before the meeting is due to take place. At that point, votes may be
registered directly with me for any society member unable to attend the
meeting.

I apologise for the confusion about this year's AGM. Mea culpa.

Regards,

Daniel Silverstone
Secretary, NetSurf Project Society
