NetSurf Project Society formation

Dear all, In an attempt to sort out a proper society in order to have a bank account and appropriate protections for the funds and assets of the NetSurf Project, we have written a draft constitution[1] and I have determined[2] the list of eligible members as per point 2 to be: - Adam Blokus - Adrian Lees - James Bursa - Chris Young - Daniel Silverstone - Sean Fox - John-Mark Bell - John Tytgat - James Shaw - Mike Lester - François Revol - Rob Kendrick - Andy Sidwell - Michael Drake - Vincent Sanders The entire purpose of forming this society is to give us protection and to ensure that funds currently split between myself and John-Mark's bank accounts do not get lost in the case of under-bus incidents and the like. In order to successfully inaugurate the society, we will need to do the following: 1. Agree on a constitution for the society 2. Nominate and elect a committee 3. Formally vote on and accept the constitution and committee. 4. Define the date of the first AGM. 5. Resolve to instantiate the bank account. The proposed constitution[1] is the basis of the first point. Nominations for the committee can be sent to me (as I am acting as secretary/chair for this inaugural meeting) or stated when solicited at the inaugural meeting. (Note, anyone can decline the role, and no-one not present at the meeting will be eligible for nomination. I'm requiring this simply to ensure that the new committee be present in order to sort out the bank account subsequently). This inaugural meeting will be held on IRC in #netsurf on Freenode on Monday the 19th January at 19:00 UTC. Only potential members of the society will be permitted to cast a vote or nominate someone for a committee role. The three roles are, as can be seen in the draft constitution[1], Secretary, Chair and Treasurer. You may nominate any potential member for any of the roles (they obviously have the right to turn down the nomination) and nominations for the same person to multiple roles will be resolved at the meeting. If you need anything clarifying or you think the list of potential members or the proposed agenda for the inaugural meeting is incomplete or incorrect then please let me know.
