I do not wish to speak for @Neil, so may the real Neil please stand up xD
I agree with what you’re saying, I apologize that my/our communication has been off.
The order of operations would be as follows:
- Have a meeting with the intent of setting a framework for Administration, Membership (at this point free) and Voting Structure
- Present a draft of the Statuten des Vereins, Mitgliedsformular, Hausordnung (which tbf, would just be Athena’s Siegel stuff printed out and passed around)
- Discuss any thoughts, concerns and ideas
- Post the Updated paperwork, have another round of edits
- Post a Final Draft, have a vote for/against
- If passed, start Vereinsgruendung
- If vetoed, edit, repeat from 3. until passed
- Run some faux votes and operations to test the system, adjust as necessary
- Finish collecting Member info
- Setup annual purge for Data Security
- Address any open security concerns
- (Some time late 2023) Have our first Vereinssitzungen/Meetings
- Present any plans from Members regarding things they want to see
- Calculate budge necessary for each idea
- Either votes in person or at a later date via Forum Polling
- Administration meeting
- How many ideas got through?
- Time frame and order to implement
- Budget? Can it be covered with:
- Quarterly events with voluntary donations
- Per visit dues
- Annual membership
- (Dec '23/Jan '24) Votes happen
- Admins implement decisions of the Verein
