[EC-NCSG] Membership form

Wed May 16 21:07:58 EEST 2012

Great, thanks, Klaus and all!

I don't think we need a person to indicate a preferred constituency for voting purposes because constituency elections and NCSG elections are separate and distinct activities.  A person will only receive one ballot in a NCSG election, even if he or she is a member of both constituencies (and can vote in both constituency elections).

Ideally, we'd have an online form that a person can fill-out online and enter in their own data (like name, address, org, email, etc.)  The application data will then go to the NCSG-EC for evaluation for NCSG membership.  Simultaneous to that (and separate from that), the application (data) is also sent to the constituency if they check a box for joining a constituency, and the constituency makes its own evaluation for constituency membership.  Perhaps we want to do these two separate evaluations in order, so a member must join NCSG first and then join a constituency if they wish?  That might be simpler than simultaneous evaluations.

And then the data input by the member in the online application would be the beginnings of a NCSG membership database.  (Right now I have to do a lot of re-typing of data from one application to the next and that doesn't make sense).

So we need someone to help design and build this online membership application process.  Brenden was very helpful in creating something similar for NCUC's online application in Ning, perhaps we can ask him if he can do something similar for NCSG?

Any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
Robin

After reading the NCSG Bylaws and consulting with one lawyer, the only changes that need to be made is that the NPOC membership form needs to let any potential member join the NCSG and then in the same form they can opt to join up to three NCSG constituencies, (even if we only have two at the moment and even if that does not mean the constituency has to accept that member.
