Here is the explanation of why we created a Committee which is an association managing Wikimania[1].
I’ll add the answers also online: 1. we needed an institution managing the income from the registration and the expenses which involve a very large number of people (priviate, not only companies); the institution we established is a non profit (it doesn’t share the income among anyone), it is managed by volunteers with experience in accounting and it is a specific institution with a separate bank account from Associazione Amici del Museo delle Grigne Onlus (which as an onlus is not the appropriate institution). 2. we created an association according to the advice of experts in associations and management. since we have a non profit nature, associating the participants for the event is the solution which has been chosen as the only suitable to allow us to collect the payments and to reimburse the flats and to pay the other expenses linked to food, accommodation, transport, insurance and t-shirts and welcome begs. the association (committees in Italy do not exist since December 2015) has the specific objective to promote and organize the event Wikimania (the name of the association is Associazione Comitato Wikimania Esino Lario 2016), which is also the reason we created it. 3. the fee is 1 euro because we need to have a fee and it is of course included in all the registration; fees simply contribute as all the rest of the income to the expenses for the participants. 4. you can see the names of the members of the board in the link and also in our team[2] 5. yesterday the association had a meeting to record all the regulations which coincide with the information you find on the website (different types of registration costs and i am uploading also the regulations related to the support for the most active volunteers) 6. all documents of the association are uploaded online and you can review everything. i’ll be adding the other documents and we are preparing some of the translations. 7. for personal data we apply the Italian legislation. Data are collected to allow us to organize Wikimania and support the participants (registration, accommodation, wifi, police registration for foreigners requested by law); with this objective in mind, only people who need the data to organize Wikimania and support the participants have access to them. please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any further question iolanda [1] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2016_bids/Esino_Lario/Management#Accounting_and_bookkeeping [2] https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Team > Il 13 mar 2016 23:40, "Bohdan Melnychuk" <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> ha scritto: > Hello, > > Please take a look at the discussion I initiate here: > https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Registration#Comitato_Wikimania_Esino_Lario_2016 > > <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Registration#Comitato_Wikimania_Esino_Lario_2016> > It is about becoming a member of Comitato Wikimania Esino Lario 2016 as asked > in Wikimania registration process. > > Yours, > --Base > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimania-l mailing list > [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l > <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l> > _______________________________________________ > Wikimania-l mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
