MFS Organisers Group
From Monaro Folk Society
Contents |
Introduction
All MFS organisers are invited to join the MFS-Organisers Google Group. The term "Organisers" in this context means the office-holders, organising teams (or committees, sub-committees etc) and other organisers that report directly to the MFS Committee.
Purpose
This group allows convenient communication from MFS Committee to all MFS organisers. It is not a separate organisational group, just an email address list for all organisers. It is not a discussion group. A typical consultation process is:
1) MFS Committee is requested to consider a proposal, either by an MFS Committee member or from correspondence inwards.
2) MFS Committee clarifies the proposal so that it is in a form that is suitable for consideration.
3) MFS Committee seeks comments on the proposal from organisers.
4) Organisers respond by email to the Secretary CC the President.
5) Responses are distributed to MFS Committee members.
6) MFS Committee considers the proposal, taking into account consultation comments.
There are also documents that, for reasons such as security or size, cannot be stored on the MFS Public or Members site. This group allows documents to be stored securely and made available only to organisers.
