Ubuntu Ireland Management Structure

Basic Structure

Ubuntu Council is the main governing body.There is also Ubuntu Ireland Members who are given voting rights in recognition of services to Ubuntu Ireland. All Ubuntu Councillors (Past, Present and Future) are members of Ubuntu Ireland automatically. Anything Council cannot agree on is reffered to the members. All Leadership contests are voted on by Council and the Members.

Ubuntu Ireland Council

Ubuntu Ireland council is made up of 10 people maximum. It is the main body of which the direction of Ubuntu Ireland is formulated. Motions are debated and then an official position is decided. Council Members put forward motions, based on what the hear from the members. Official communication between Ubuntu Foundation and its Irish operation are council responsibilities.

Ubuntu Ireland Members

These are a dedicated group of people who have helped Ubuntu Ireland. Membership decisions are bestowed by the council after a pre-existing member has recommended someone. Memberships are decided upon or deffered at council meetings. Members are given voting rights on leadership of the council and decisions the council cannot decide on, which it has reffered to the members. This gives members a good say in the role and direction of Ubuntu Ireland. Members cannot directly propose motions, but can get a council member to do so on their behalf.
