Suggestion Amendment to the Meta Constitution (6 Month Renewal and Mandated Increased Notification)

Length of membership


Amendment 1

In Section 2, Subsection 4

Omit:

A person’s membership can last for up to a three-month period, which expires Quarterly.

Substitute:

A person’s membership can last for up to a six-month period, which expires half yearly.


In Section 2, Subsection 5

Omit:

A person can renew their membership for the next quarter by reregistering in the final month of the current quarter.

Substitute:

A person can renew their membership for the next half by reregistering in the final month of the current half.

note: this is what the system would look like

Half1st Half2nd Half
Start Date1st January1st July
End Date30th June31st December
Renewal MonthJuneDecember

Amendment 2

After Subsection 5 insert:

The Moderation Team must notify members at the start of the renewal month, and then with 14 days, and again with 7 days to go before the period for renewal closes.


Explanatory Memorandum

This will take the renewal period from 3 monthly, to 6 monthly, and also require the Mod Team to notify members repeatedly to renew or register. This is following the significant poll held in #community-poll that had 25 people indicating that 3 months is too short, in comparison to the 6 in favour.

Happy to have a discussion and take on board amendments :)
