VZW - ASBL

The statutes of a new VZW/ASBL are being written by a group of pirates.
It's one of the topics of our next GA.

In case the pirates movement start with this asbl/vzw.....

If I want to become member of the Belgium Politic Party ..... And pay (1€/month) ....

Do I become member of the vzw/asbl ? Do I pay to a account belonging to the vzw/asbl ?

or do I become member of the movement and pay to a account of the movement ... and will the asbl/vzw handle this account for the pirate movement?

Personally I prefer that the ASBL/VZW receives a power of attorney for the exisiting pirates account as the best solution .... (if needed a restricted one)

it's the second if you replace movement with party.

If you pay €1, you "become member of the party and pay to an account of the party... the asbl/vzw will indeed handle this account for the pirate party"

Optionally, you can become member of the vzw as well.

So: distinction between

  • movement - any "pirate" is a pirate even if he does not pay membership
  • party - a pirate becomes member of the party when he/she pays membership
  • asbl / vzw - a legal entity with no other purpose than to serve the party

You last point is the one of two main reasons why this vzw / asbl is needed - second is membership administration.

Translation of the Statutes in French is finished. So the French should say the same thing as the dutch now.

With kind regards,

Thank you for your work! I cannot help much here because I don't speak Dutch, but although the whole statutes are translated in French, the said translation has too many errors. I tried to correct spelling mistakes and typos, but sometimes the whole sentence would need to be rephrased.

I dont' think you should worry. The point of the translation is just to enable non-Dutch speakers to understand. Thank you to the translators, by the way.

I understand your reactions, I would like to say : make the changements in French. But maybe Jo Ver should give his permission for that . The only condition is: The French has to say the same thing as the dutch. :-) . The more it is prepared for the GA the better.

Thank you for the work and the FR translation with it! It's quite simple and clear! I have put some comments in the statutes + the addenda and I will summarize below the main comments in different comments to enable "reply to" for each more clearly

1) Links between vzw and party: Apart from the fact that the vzw members are members of the pirate party, I did not see any other link between the two organisations. Or did I miss them? (tell me if so). Considering what the vzw is supposed to be to the party, I personally think these links should be stronger (as in the past, when the black pearl was reporting on its accounts to the Pirate GA, not only to the vzw GA). The two ships should travel together...

2) Decision by vote in the vzw GA, with simple majority: Some pirates have learnt the hard way how vote makes losers. and should be avoided at all costs... If you really want to use vote for "ease" at decision time, go ahead, but be aware the miscontent will be a break to action after the vote.

So, at least, I suggest ensuring that abstentions are respected by counting them as votes (so that the majority threshold really represents at least the half of the people present + one).

3) As for the addendum at the end of the document, I do not really understand what they mean. Can you explain better what these "proposals" are for? Also, there is confusion between party membership and vzw membership over there, to me.

Thanks!

I invite everybody to study the law of 4 juli 1989 to define of the vzw/aslb have to organise official and according along the Belgian laws the bookkeeping and administration.
I suppose this is the purpose of this vzw?
So we have to change and add the necessary statutes and clausules to be as political party according the law.

A political party can NOT receive any money from a company or association, what means this vzw can NOT receive any money on her own account to give it to PPBE.
