(This is an experiment in drafting a Constitution using a wiki. Before you edit anything here please read through the Free Geek Principles and the Bylaws of Free Geek Portland. Keep in mind that we are incorporating under the BC Society's Act, not the Oregon Nonprofit Corporations Act, so it won't be quite the same.)
By-law Draft-o-Rama of FreeGeek Vancouver - for possible adoption at 2007 AGM
Our main homework, according to the BC Society's Act:
- Section 6 (1) The bylaws of a society incorporated under this Act must contain provisions for the following
- (a) the admission of members, their rights and obligations and when they cease to be in good standing;
- (b) the conditions under which membership ceases and the manner, if any, in which a member may be expelled;
- (c) the procedure for calling general meetings;
- (d) the rights of voting at general meetings, whether proxy voting is allowed, and if proxy voting is allowed, provisions for it;
- (e) the appointment and removal of directors and officers and their duties, powers and remuneration, if any;
- (f) the exercise of borrowing powers;
- (g) the preparation and custody of minutes of meetings of the society and directors.
- (2) Subject to subsection (1), the bylaws of a society may be in the form of Schedule B or a modified form or another form altogether.

- Obviously we can have more bylaws than that, and standing resolutions to boot.
- It may be instructive to visit FG Portland's New Bylaws Project, the area of the wiki where they actually collaborated on updating their bylaws. I think standing resolutions is particularly noteworthy. The old bylaws are still available, should anyone be interested.

Anyway, at the end of the day, donʻt worry too much about that stuff up above. We can always get it back if you really do a boo boo.
