[NCUC-DISCUSS] Change of status

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi Benjamin,

As I said, I consider message to this list sufficient for notifying
about the demise of the organization, and all Hakikur now needs
to do is to apply for membership as an individual.

For those interested in, let's say legalities:

Looking at NCUC Bylaws they mention contacting the NCUC Chair via
email (III C 2) and notifying the EC in writing (III D 2). The latter
concerns the resignation of an organization's official representative,
so it would seem to be appropriate here, too. But as it doesn't
specify how the EC should be contacted, and presumably the EC is on
this list, so in my opinion writing to this list can be considered to
satisfy the letter of the Bylaws, unless the NCUC EC decides otherwise.

NCSG Charter is similar, also stating that NCSG EC should be
contacted, without specifying how. Even though this is NCUC list and
not NCSG, in practice such messages sent here will reach NCSG EC as
well, as at least some NCSG EC members will be here, and again I'd
consider "contacting the NCSG EC" to be satisfied by any message that
reaches at least one of its members (who presumably would relay it to
the entire EC), unless the NCSG EC explicitly decides otherwise.

In either case it might be a good idea to make this explicit,
perhaps by having somewhere on the respective websites instructions
about who to contact in various situations, and how.

Best,

Tapani
