Good job [PIMPIN]!
As stated earlier there are several things that need to be sorted out for us to move forward with this initiative. This will be discussed in this thread before our preliminary meeting on Friday. Please be advised that the decision will be made this Friday, therefore those interested to be part of the pro-tem committee please inform us through this forum and attend the Friday meeting (if possible).
Meeting will take place in Putra Heights, Friday 19 August 2011 at 9.30pm till late. If ur not sure the location of the meeting, please PM BloodRed.
The topics below must be discussed and decided this Friday.
Club Official Name
I personally have fondness to the name 'Malaysian Skyline Club' although I see [PIMPIN]'s point that there will be hassles in terms of management by which I think we are not ready for it yet. We can explore that motion once we have capable and enough manpower running the show.
BNR's proposed 'Nissan Skyline Club' or NSC sounds good to me. Others may not agree but we must decide on what to call the club.
I for one is in favour of NSC.
Pro-Tem Committee
I've offered my self as the pro-tem president with the blessings of several senior members of our club, though if there are anybody who are capable and would be interested to put forward his/herself to this task of pro-tem president I would welcome it. Meanwhile, the pro-tem office bearers ans posts would be as per below:
1) President: Nazli Haffiz (Temujin)
2) Vice President: Feezdya
3) Secretary:
4) Treasurer:
5) Committee Member (Events & Promo):
6) Committee Member (Media & Website):
7) Committee Member (Membership, Merchandise):
The posts above are not carved in stone and therefore can still be altered. Those interested to be part of the pro-tem committee, please state ur interest and I hope can attend the meeting this Friday. Obviously the club would need ur commitment to make it happen.
Club Address
This would need to be identified. I would appreciate those with office/mailbox address which would be used for this to come forward with his/her suggestion for discussion by the pro-tem committee.
First Official Pro-Tem Committee Meeting
We should also decide on when and where the committee would meet next to finalize the club constitution and by-laws as well as the paperwork needed for submission to ROS. I would suggest a place with internet and printing facilities as we would be preparing the paperwork on-site (preferably).
Other Issues
Other issues that may also be discussed during the Friday meeting may include membership fees, membership benefits, club activities, etc. This issues would be decided on the first official pro-tem committee meeting.
For the benefit of online discussion before the first official pro-tem committee meeting, those interested please put forward ur thoughts on issues as what [PIMPIN] has mentioned earlier.
Membership Expectations
Additionally, everyone should make clear what their expectations are from the Club should it become a reality in exchange for their membership dues. For example, as a member I expect (note these are just examples):
1) Membership welcome pack (T-Shirt, lanyard and sticker)
2) Monthly events
3) Quarterly trips/weekend getaways
4) Discounts at various performance workshops
5) ETC
Roles and Responsibilities
I'd like to see what people think the various posts in the Committee would require in terms of roles and responsibilities as well as time and commitment.
