Vedtægtsændringer (change of statutes) Presenter: Statutes committee (Frank, Steeven, Henrik, Søren) The general assembly last year encouraged the foundation of a statutes committee by the board. The board followed this suggestion and a statutes committee formed by Henrik, Steeven, Søren and Frank produced the proposal included below in full text together with an annotated translation. Please note that the following paragraphs have been edited since the first invitation: Love: 1.3, 2.3, 3.5, 5.3, 5.4, 5.6, 5.9a, 5.9b, 6.4, 6.6, 6.6ac, 7.3, 7.6, 7.9, 8.3a. Vedtægter 2.2, 2.15, 3.1, 3.2, 3.2.12, 3.7, 5.2, 5.6, 6.4, 6.6, 7.2, 8.2.6, 8.2.7. Summary of statutes proposal: There are rather few actual changes of regulation. We mainly reorganized and clarified paragraphs, and removed a number of selfcontradictions. Our aim is, that our statutes form a complete and selfcontained text that can be read, understood and interpreted without the need for consulting further literature. In particular, by anyone who is not familiar with the details of Danish association law. A newly elected board should be able to work without previous experience. Concepts that are new ● The statutes now introduce socalled bylaws, a new document that collects decisions of permanent character. The bylaws cover everyday board work. One can consider this document as the longterm memory of our club. ● The bylaws define classes given regularly, which implies some longterm stability in what classes will be given on a regular basis. ● We enhanced the level of democratic control of board work; we added the requirement that board decisions must be published to all members, and decisions of potentially large impact are provisionally and must be approved by a general assembly. ● We added the possibilities of holding spontaneous board meetings and taking decisions in written form. Corrections of contradictions, questionable rules, and unclear text ● Introduction of seasons to clean up our definition of membership. The old definition was selfcontradicting. ● The definitions of beginning and end of membership are now sharp. ● ● ● ● ● Removal of position of vicechairman. The old regulation was contradicting and lacking clarity regarding the responsibilities of chairman and vice chairman. We replaced the position of the vice chairman with a simple procedure for electing an interim chairman and interim treasurer, if necessary. The terms minor and major expenses are now clearly defined. We included a separate paragraph defining the role of chairman, treasurer and auditor. We removed the clause that all board members have a vote at a general assembly. Now, board members can only vote if they are also a member of the club. We extended the right to vote to all members who can prove that they paid before the start of the general assembly (we removed a restrictive deadline). Additions to make the text more complete ● ● We added voting procedures to the paragraph on the general assembly. We added comments on definitions of different types of majorities. Proposal: After separate vote on 9.1, change current statutes (Vedtægter) to the new statutes and bylaws (Love og Vedtægter). 9.1. Forslag til ændring Presenter: Frank Proposal: Change current proposal for bylaws according to: 1. §1 stk. 2 lit a. Kontingent for medlemmer af foreningens bestyrelse er DKK 0, for sæsoner, der begynder, imens denne er medlem af foreningens bestyrelse. §1.2a) The membership fee for members of the board of the association is DKK 0, for seasons starting during their term of service. 2. Delete bylaws 2.11. 3. Update references in bylaws as in §2.2 Større udgifter som refereret til i foreningens love §6 stk. 4, lit a og love §6 stk. 9, lit a er udgifter defineret under §2 stk. 3 og udgifter defineret under $2 stk. 14 der ikke betragtes mindre jævnfør §2 stk. 1. §2.14 (previously 2.15) Udgifter, der ikke falder under §2.313. Enhver sådan udgift skal være inkluderet i årsregnskabet, præsenteret for generalforsamlingen til godkendelse, under separate punkter på anmodning af den eksterne revisor. 10. Godkendelse af budget for halvårsfest (approval of budget for bi-annual ball) Presenter: Deenesh Proposal: Approve budget as proposed by Deenesh, if there are changes to the preliminary budget set by the board. 11. Gaver og belønninger (gifts and rewards) 11.1. Ansøgning om bestyrelsesmiddag (application for board dinner) Presenter: Frank The board applies for holding a board dinner with Josefine, Steeven, Soeren, Thomas E, Thomas C, Deborah, Martin, Henrik and Frank. Reasons: 1. The board didn’t hold a board dinner this term. Instead we had a 7hour work dinner with the teachers with food delivered to DTU. 2. The board had an extraordinary workload due to the preparation of the statutes proposal and changes to the budgeting of the association. 3. The board made important achievements, for example, participation in Årsfest and an increased visibility at DTU. 4. Tradition was that the board grants itself a board dinner. However, a majority of board members was not happy with granting a reward to ourselves, in particular, looking at the barely balanced finances of the last year. For comparison, the previous board held a dinner for DKK 5400, and our work dinner with the teachers was DKK 1300,. We get 4000, for this from DTU Sport specifically allocated for covering such expenses. Proposal: The general assembly grants a single board dinner for Josefine, Steeven, Soeren, Thomas E, Thomas C, Deborah, Martin, Henrik and Frank to be held sometimes within the next year. The budget is set to DKK 4000,. 11.2. Gaver (gifts) Presenter: Chairman 12. Ændring af motto (change of motto) Presenter: Martin The current slogan is "We teach more than Algebra", which makes little sense for a dance club. We don't teach algebra, and we are not a dance school, so the slogan is out of context and doesn't say what the clubs values are. Proposals (alphabetical): ● Dance with me ● Fun and social ● Is about having fun ● More than dancing ● Social dancing ● We teach more than Algebra (old motto) Vote is by elimination. 13. Valg af formand (election of chairman) 14. Valg af kasserer (election of treasurer) 15. Valg af 3-5 ordinære bestyrelsesmedlemmer (election of 3-5 ordinary board members) 16. Valg af ekstern revisor (election of external auditor) 17. Valg af ekstern revisorsuppleant (election of substitute external auditor) 18.

[PDF] §1 Name and purpose 1. The name of the association is DTU Dancing (from now on the association). The phrase in parenthesis means that “in the remainder of this document the term ‘the association’ is used in place of ‘the association established by these statutes,’” and never refers to any other association. 2. The association is located at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU), 2800 Kongens Lyngby. 3. The purpose of the association is to create interest in dancing in a social environment, and to offer training facilities and teaching primarily to employees and students of DTU. §2 Membership in organizations 1. The association is member of DTU Sport and subordinate to DTU Sport’s statutes and rules for exercising sport at DTU. 2. The association is an independent legal unit that is economically independent. DTU Sport is not liable for any of the associations financial responsibilities. 3. Unless 1 representative for DTU Sport, according to DTU Sport’s statutes, is elected at a general assembly, the association’s board elects two board members as these representatives, one of which must be the chairman who is a born member of the representatives. 4. DTU Sport is the owner of tools, equipment etc. that was provided by DTU Sport except in those cases where the opposite was agreed upon. 5. The accounting and the status of the past year together with a provisional budget for the coming year after approval by the general assembly must be sent to DTU Sport before the end of April (together with the list of members and the minutes of the general assembly).

Furthermore, the association can admit others as members and allow them to use DTU Sport’s facilities under the condition that the aforementioned have priority and the association aims at that these constitute 50% of the association’s members. 2. All members of the association are also members of DTU Sport. 3. Membership is valid for one season. A season starts one week after the start of the semester as stated in DTU’s calendar and lasts for 19 weeks. 4. An application for membership must be filed through the association’s home page.

Resignation of membership requires written form with a notice period of 14 days. 1. There are no refunds for membership fees, neither in full nor in parts. 7. In addition, the board can exclude members with immediate effect if special circumstances justify this. A decision about exclusion requires that at least 2/3 of the board members have voted for the exclusion. The member in question must be given an opportunity for defence against the decision before the decision can be taken, and can demand that the decision about the exclusion is taken up at the next ordinary general assembly. 1. In all cases where an exclusion will be discussed at a general assembly must the excluded member be informed about the date and location of the general assembly three days in advance of the general assembly. The excluded member has the right to participate and offer a defence of his case. The decision of exclusion must be included as a separate item in the agenda. 8. Someone who has been excluded at a general assembly can only be readmitted as a member at another general assembly. The readmission requires the same majority as the exclusion. 9. The liability of the association is at any time limited to the association’s possessions. Neither members nor the board can be held liable personally for any responsibilities of the association. §4 Membership fees 1. The membership fee is set by the board for one season a time. This must be entered 2/7 into the by-laws §1.2. 2.

The association must hold an ordinary general assembly once per year. 3. An extraordinary general assembly may at any time be called by the Board. Furthermore, an extraordinary general assembly must be called when at least 1/3 of the members, or the chairman of DTU Sport, require the board to do so in writing. The general assembly must be held within one month after the request including the subject to be discussed has been made to the Board; see also §5.1.2. 4. A call for a general assembly must be made at least three weeks in advance, and must include a preliminary agenda together with the deadline for submission of further points, cf. §5.5. The call must be announced with a written invitation to the association’s members and possibly with an internal notice at DTU. 1. The final agenda without attachments must be announced no later than 8 days before the date of the general assembly in the same way as required in §5.4. If the preliminary agenda and the final agenda are identical word for word, it is not necessary to send the agenda out again. However, it is still a good idea to remind the members. 2. The full agenda inclusive attachments must be published according to by-laws §7 and no later than 8 days before the date of the general assembly. 5. Proposals to be discussed at the general assembly must be in the hands of the board no later than 14 days before the date of the general assembly. Proposals must be included in the agenda. 6.

Decisions of a permanent character must be included in the association’s bylaws after separate confirmation according to §8.1. 2. A confirmation of decisions of the board requires a qualified majority. The accounting and a status must be handed to the general assembly for approval and must be signed by the external auditor. At the same time can the board propose a provisional budget for the coming year. The ordinary general assembly elects the board, which consists of a chairman, a treasurer and 3-5 ordinary board members. A reelection is possible. 1. The chairman and treasurer are elected in separate elections. Furthermore, the ordinary general assembly elects an external auditor who may not be a member of the board. A reelection is possible. It is not possible to take decisions on points that are not part of the agenda. Points that have not been finished with a vote can be taken up again under any other businesses. With the exception of the cases defined in §5.9b, §5.17, §8.1 and §9.1., the general assembly takes decisions with simple majority. The method of voting is decided by the meeting chairman. However, at the request of a member a vote or election must be taken secretely in written form. Furthermore, all votes on the exclusion of a member must be taken secretely in written form. 1. An election between two or more candidates must be taken secretely in written form. Any decision about the exclusion of a member requires a qualified majority and must be included as a separate point on the agenda. In case of a decision with more than two alternative proposals, the proposals with the least votes are eliminated one by one until only two alternatives are remaining. 1. A proposal that wins a qualified majority during the elimination process is accepted automatically. In case of a decision about a modification of a proposal a vote is taken first on the modification, and thereafter on the final proposal. The decisions of a general assembly are recorded in a protocol, which must include a summary of discussions to the extend requested by the meeting chairman. The decisions of a general assembly take effect after the meeting ends and the protocol has been confirmed. 1. The protocol is approved as an accurate record of all decisions with the signatures of the meeting chairmen, the retiring chairman and the new chairman in unison. The protocol must be approved without unnecessary delay. Explanation on majorities: simple majorities require more votes in favour than against a proposal (blank votes don’t count); qualified majorities require more than half of the total number of votes in favour of a proposal (blank votes count). The same principle applies if 2/3 or 3/4 majorities are required. §6 The Board 4/7 1. The Board is the club’s senior management and represents the club in all matters. 2. The board consists of a chairman, a treasurer and 3-5 ordinary board members who are elected for one year at a time at a general assembly. 3. The chairman signs for the association.

The association’s statutes and by-laws can be changed at any general assembly. Changes to the statutes or by-laws require a 2/3 qualified majority. Making proposals for 6/7 changes to the statutes and by-laws follows the same procedure as suggesting points for the agenda, see §5.5. 1. Changes to statutes and by-laws are binding from the moment the current general assembly ends, however, see §8.2. 2. Changes to statutes and by-laws are incorporated into the publicly available copies of the statutes and by-laws without unnecessary delay. 2.

However, minor changes that are clearly of local effect to the association only, and which are not of a fundamental or general character, take immediate effect under the condition the the association informs DTU Sport immediately after acceptance with a copy of the changes. A decision about changing statutes has two aspects, (1) it is a decision that changes a procedure of the association and is valid with the end of the general assembly, and (2) this procedure must be incorporated into the statutes, because it is either missing or in disagreement with the current text. This change of text requires approval by DTU Sport, while the decision holds already and must be followed. If DTU Sport does not approve a change of statutes, the decision must be reconsidered at an extraordinary general assembly called as soon as possible. 3.

If such a majority is reached at a general assembly with less than 50% of all members being present, a new general assembly is called, where the decision can be taken with winning a majority as stated before and regardless of the number of members present. 2. In case of the dissolution of the association fall all possessions of the association into the hands of DTU Sport. 7/7 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) DTU DancIng http://danc-ing.dk Vedtægter [PDF] §1 Regnskab og budget 1.

The main source of income of the association are membership fees, which are DKK 500,- for the first class plus an additional DKK 200,- for every additional class. 3. The association’s spending must be balanced with the accumulated income. In particular, financial decisions must be guided by the aims of maintaining the association’s long-term financial independence and avoiding unnecessary competition for subsidies with other DTU Sports associations. 4. The association’s income is divided into two parts: the teaching budget and the board budget. The teaching budget is defined in the contract with the association’s teachers; see also §9.2. The board budget is the difference between accumulated income and teaching budget; see also §9.3. 5. The association must maintain savings for repair of teaching equipment and for a financial reserve to secure long-term financial independence. The financial reserve should be equal to the teaching budget for at least one season without income. Transfers to these savings are listed under §2. 6. A summary of the financial status of the association must be available at each board meeting. This summary must at least include the sum of membership fees received for the current season, the amount of savings and expected future expenses. The summary should not be more than one month old. §2 Expenses 1.
