	+ - GLOBAL is a UCD graduate student organization. Because we are a UCD club and we get funding and some administrative support from the university, UCD students have to be the controlling body. The reason for this is that students' fees go to support these clubs. The university, I believe, wants to avoid having non-students be able to decide how university funds are spent and to have access to university resources that they do not pay for. That being said, the only prividges that student members have that non-students members don't have is the ability to hold office and vote for officers (these are SPAC's rules which we must comply with, not our rules), otherwise, all members can do the same things. If we want to change this aspect of our bylaws, we have to take this up with the university administration. --["Users/MicheleTobias"]

	+ =Conduct= + We uphold the UC Davis [http://principles.ucdavis.edu/ Principles of Community]. If after an attempt at conflict resolution and/or behavior intervention any member or attender continues to regularly or egregiously violate the Principles, they can be asked to leave. The officers may expel a member by unanimous vote. We don't expect this to have to happen, but we're serious about setting expectations for civil behavior and strive to be anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-oppressive, absolutely. + + =Membership= + Membership is open to everyone. In compliance with ["SPAC"] guidelines, at least 75% of the members must be UC Davis students, at least 66% of the membership must be graduate students, at least two of the officers must be graduate students, and all five of the official "leaders" (as listed on the SPAC form) must be currently enrolled students. Regardless of formal membership, participation is open to the general public. + + To be a member, a person must attend 1 meeting, event, or participate in email discussions in the past six months. Signing up to receive club emails, while encourage for everyone, does NOT constitute club membership. Student members are members who are currently enrolled at UCDavis and have full voting ability. Community members are all other members and have the same privileges as student member with the exceptions of holding office or voting in officer elections (per ["SPAC"]). + + ==Club Officers== + Club officers must be students at UC Davis. + All officers have specific roles and tasks and titles. + Titles are derived from geographers (be they famous, influential, or obscure). + Officers must attend meetings on a regular basis (2/3 of meetings). In the event of low attendance, an officer may be considered for removal. + Only UCD students can have voting rights(electing officers) or be club officers.(["SPAC"] rules) + + ==Officer Titles== + Co-Presidents (ideally representing both human and physical geography) Role: The role of the co-presidents is to ensure that all club related paperwork is correctly filed, to facilitate and organize the club meetings, and ensure the day-to-day operations of the club are implemented. + Treasurer: The role of the Treasurer is to monitor all club funds, and ensure the proper payment/receipt of all funds. + * Events Coordinator: The role of the Events Coordinator is to plan, coordinate, and execute club ventures. + * Secretary/Archivist:(1-2 people) + * The role of the Secretary is to track the participation of club members.

Line 36:	Line 70:
	+ ===Consensus=== + This is the preferred process for making decisions. Consensus is reached through discussion when all members agree to a particular condition or proposal. If any member(s) does not agree, discussion will continue with compromises being made until everyone can agree. In the event a consensus decision will be made via email (or by other means not in person), not voting is considered to be agreement (i.e. if you don't say you're against an idea, everyone will assume you're fine with it). By email, members will have three days to discuss an idea. If consensus can be reached (no dissenting voices) in those three days, then we go forward with the proposed idea. If someone objects, we will have five days of further discussion. If consensus still cannot be reached, we will have a vote (see below for terms and conditions). + + ===Voting=== + Voting is our second form of decision making. Voting requires each member to voice a yes or no opinion. (In this case, not submitting a vote means you are forfeiting your say on a particular matter.) A proposal is passed if the majority of votes returned (not members) are in favor of the proposal. +
Line 42:	Line 82:
- ==Funding==	+ ==Proposals for Funding from GLOBAL== + Funding proposals may be made by members only (see Membership section for requirements). The proposal then becomes an agenda item for the next meeting or may be discussed by the club officers. Members in attendance of the meeting or officers in the discussion will then try to come to a consensus either in favor or not in favor of the proposal.

In the case of a conflict of percentages (e.g., a non student wants to join but the percentages prevent it), the Secretary will work to make it possible in some creative, but legit, way. Regardless of formal membership, participation (other than voting) is open to the general public. - - ==Conduct== - We uphold the UC Davis [http://principles.ucdavis.edu/ Principles of Community]. If after an attempt at conflict resolution and/or behavior intervention any member or attender continues to regularly or egregiously violate the Principles, they can be asked to leave.

Just a thought... - - ==General Membership== - (Active)Core membership is defined as attending %50 of meetings in the preceding six months. - * What about people who cannot make the meetings for very valid reasons (such as coursework conflicts) but are involved in other club events and through emails and other direct communications? Not "Oh, I'm too busy to take my precious time for your trivial meetings!" but if someone is truly involved in the club outside of official meetings? - (Non-Active)Peripheral membership is open to all. - - Purpose of differentiating Members = (Active)Core members can benefit directly from club funds to support conference attendance. (Non-Active)Peripheral Members can come to social events, etc., but would only be considered for direct funding for conferences in the event of a surplus of money. The reason for this is to allow members who work to raise funds and participate regularly to benefit first from the work they've put in. This "rule" isn't to exclude peripheral members (meeting attendees may decide how to spend funds regardless of this statement), but to set up a priority in funds spending. - - ==Dues== - There shall be no mandatory dues. Donations are welcomed. - - ==Amending the Bylaws== - Unanimous vote of the officers, or majority of the members. - - [p.s. I suggest that original ratification of these bylaws be by attempt for consensus, and then 2/3 if not possible. alyssa]	+ =Amending the Bylaws= + Unanimous vote of the officers, or consensus of the members.

	+ * Can this be done in a general way? For instance, as officers will we have to vote to approve the bi-weekly frisbee golfing and/or bowling? Or can that be approved as a general thing that we do that on a regular basis without further discussion?
Line 57:	Line 58:
	+ * Does this mean that all officers are "outgoing" at the end of the year? Can a person run for a second term, if desired?
Line 67:	Line 69:
	+ * I'm confused: how can officers come to this unanimous decision if there is a lack of individuals to act as officers? I see where there may need to be a provision for dissolving the club and what to do if there are excess funds, but perhaps through a different means?
Line 100:	Line 103:
	+ * What about people who cannot make the meetings for very valid reasons (such as coursework conflicts) but are involved in other club events and through emails and other direct communications? Not "Oh, I'm too busy to take my precious time for your trivial meetings!" but if someone is truly involved in the club outside of official meetings?
