Abschnitt 7.2 interpretiere ich dahingehend, dass nicht jegliche Staturenänderung unmöglich ist, sondern nur solche, welche die Foundation direkt oder diese Vertrag tangieren. Organisatorische oder formale Statuenänderungen, sind unkritisch und bedürfen keiner Genehmigung seitens der WMF [[Benutzer:Zeitgeisterfahrer|Zeitgeisterfahrer]]


:Genau. Ich erinnere mich aber, dass dies an der GV so gesagt wurde ("Änderungen des Zwecks des Vereins") und dass ich das auch der Mailingliste auch schon mal beschrieben habe. Es ging um die Steuerbegünstigung, wegen der wir den Zweck eben ändern müssten. Laut Kurt / Christoph hatte man vorgängig schon vor der Gründung versucht eine Formulierung des Zwecks zu finden, der beides erfüllt - die Steuerbegünstigung ermöglicht als auch die Foundation zufriedenstellt, was aber laut deren Aussage nicht möglich war. Das soll aber die Arbeitsgruppe [[Projekte/Absetzbarkeit von Spenden]] (s. auch [[Projekte]]) überprüfen bzw. einen entsprechenden Vorschlag erarbeiten. --[[Benutzer:80686|Manuel Schneider]] 16:03, 27.

Hierzu sollte das Vereinsjahr explizit festgelegt werden (Mai-April ist es bislang ohnedies schon, dies sollte aber festgehalten, vereinsintern, wie auch an die WMF kommuniziert werden.
Daraus ergibt sich auch die Erfordernis, regelmäßige Generalversammlungen anzuberaumen, die sich auch am Vereinsjahr orientieren.
Der Bericht an die Foundation sollte vom Vorstand vorbereitet und bei der GV diskutiert werden. [[Benutzer:Zeitgeisterfahrer|Zeitgeisterfahrer]]
:Das Vereinsjahr wurde an der letzten Vorstandssitzung diskutiert. Es wurde beschlossen dieses nicht mehr zu ändern, dh. die letzte Rechnungsperiode wie an der GV 2010 vorgelegt (1. September - 31. August) zu beizubehalten. Damit wäre es nun definiert. --[[Benutzer:80686|Manuel Schneider]] 16:05, 27. Feb. 2011 (CET)

:Bitte auch Fragen und Anmerkungen signieren, damit man weiß, von wem und von wann sie sind, danke. Es geht in diesem Fall nicht um "die Chapters" sondern nur um das österreichische. Die Unterschrift wäre laut Meinung der Foundation  schon längst fällig gewesen, weil WM-AT den Status eines Chapters bereits nutzt. Dass sie noch nicht vorliegt, wurde offenbar bei Beginn des Fundraisers übersehen. Es stellte sich jetzt bei der Abrechnung des Fundraisers heraus, dass es nur einen Fundraising-Vertrag aber kein Chapters Agreement gibt. --[[Benutzer:Beppo|Beppo]] 16:19, 27. Feb. 2011 (CET)
