All the best. Mikhail Medrish.

P.S.

Some contradictions between bylaw and real lives of the EURALO.

A.      Euro Individuals Association established in 2012 still not institutionalized in the EURALO Bylaw.

- The Statute of Euro Individuals Association says that «By the creation of its Association, individuals from all over Europe can gather and assume a voting right at EURALO’s annual General Assembly (GA), as stipulated in EURALO’s amended Bylaws from May 2011 in Belgrade.» Although the question of changing EURALO Bylaw was discussed in Belgrade no changes were made.

- The paragraph 3 of the Statutes  Euro Individuals Association says that «Financial resources In order to fulfill its role in the frame of EURALO, the Euro Individuals Association can count on resources and capacities of EURALO such as its Secretariat and does not need own financial resources and administrative facilities.» There are no corresponding obligations in the EURALO’s Bylaw. This raises the problem of the resources’ use.

B.      Governing bodies, EURALO officers and their functions do not correspond to the real life

- In reality the General Assembly of EURALO elects the Chairman of the EURALO. The Articles of Association does not provide for such position

- The Articles of Association says that in its Board has a Chairman and a Deputy Chairman. In reality there are no such officers and their functions are performed by the EURALO’s Chair and the Secretary. In particular, according to the Articles of Association the Chair of the Board is EURALO’s representative everywhere .

- The Statute does not provide for a Secretary as one of the EURALO officers.

- The Statute provides for a position of a Treasurer that was never elected in practice because of absence of necessity.

- The Statute provides for Advisory Council, which has never existed.

C.      Procedures set forth in the Articles of Association do not always correspond to the practice (paragraphs 9.3, 9.7). There is still no Rules of Procedure which should be adopted by the Board (paragraph 9.1. of the Articles of Association).

D.      The section 7 of the Articles of Association defines the possibility of periodical and extraordinary membership fees the amount of which determines the General Assembly. These regulaions are still not put into action. I know from my experience that even the existence of such possibilities in Bylaw can be a deterrent for potential ALSes on joining EURALO.
