Operating Rules

General Meetings

The association holds an ordinary general meeting (or an extraordinary meeting if necessary) every year in June.

Members are convened one month before the date of the meeting by post or personal email. In the event of absence, they may appoint a proxy of their choice. A member of the association may only hold a maximum of two proxies.

The general meeting hears the moral report presented by the president, the financial report presented by the treasurer and the activity report presented by the secretary. These reports may be accepted or rejected. Votes are taken by absolute majority. In the event of a tie, the president has the casting vote.

The quorum is half of the members. If this quorum is not reached, a new meeting shall be convened within one month. The decisions of this meeting shall be valid even if the quorum is not reached.

Board Meetings

Two meetings of the board of directors shall be held during the year, on dates to be determined or as required. One of the two meetings may be held on the same date as the annual general meeting. If necessary, the chair may convene a board meeting at a date of their choosing.

The board decides on admissions and exclusions. It designates the texts published by the association and manages all actions undertaken by the association in pursuit of its objectives. If necessary, it proposes any amendments to the articles of association. These amendments must be voted on at a general meeting.

Dissolution

The association may be dissolved by operation of law after a vote to that effect by an extraordinary general meeting convened for that purpose. The association's property and assets shall be transferred to an association pursuing similar aims.
