General Meeting on June 5, 2000

In two hours, the meeting made few changes in the club rules (available in Norwegian or Russian), elected new board members, discussed club activity and approved the budget 2000.

Meeting Minutes

1. Ekaterina Prasolova reported on the past activity.

2. Corrections into club rules (rules are available in Norwegian or Russian) were discussed and approved.
   • Membership fee payment rules were decided: all members pay their membership fee in the beginning of each year, until February 1. New members pay the same amount, which covers for them only the rest of year (out of three proposed payment schemes this one received 16 votes). Members leaving the club don't get their fee paid back.

   • General meeting frequency was decided: the general meeting is held at least once a year (or more often on demand from club members). The meeting and its agenda are announced at least three weeks in advance.

   • Voting rules were accepted: changes in the club rules and approval of budget require two-thirds majority of votes from the club members attending the meeting. All other questions are decided by simple majority (i.e., by difference between votes for and against, abstentions and people not voting don't count).

   Club rules with corrections were approved by the majority of 20, with one against and one abstained.

3. The meeting elected club board:
   • Ekaterina Prasolova - president
   • Tatiana Groenlien - vice-president and economic manager
   • Elena Presthus - activity manager (elected in absentia; if she had not agreed to take this position, it would have been taken by Ekaterina Prasolova)
   • Vadim Makarov - webmaster
   • Olga Ressem - secretary
   • Hans Ivar Skjelbred - public relations

4. Tatiana Groenlien informed the club about possible sources of financing and related procedures.

5. The meeting discussed and approved the budget 2000 by the majority of 19, with four abstained.

   During the discussion, it was decided to significantly expand the club film library, as 12 people out of those attending the meeting confirmed they will use it. Also, it was decided to buy a volleyball (18 voted for this purchase, 3 abstained).

6. To bring more Russian and Russian-speaking people of Trondheim into the club, it was decided to put a poster at the Center for Adult Education (Senter for voksenopplaering) in Lade. A big part of foreign population of Trondheim studies Norwegian there. Tanja Bartle is responsible for the poster.

7. The meeting also decided
   • to begin film shows one hour earlier, at 18:30
   • to publish contact information for the leaders of Russian Societies of Tromsoe and Stavanger on this site
   • to publish a guide on receiving Russian TV channels in Norway (now available in Norwegian or Russian)

Unfortunately, Tatiana carried away the approved budget 2000 and never made it available for publishing, despite repeated calls. However, it didn't differ too much from what was initially proposed in the announcement of this meeting (in Russian).
 

We had some pizza after the meeting.
