AGM 2008 & Constitution (Statuts) Project

* Constitution: AGM 2008 on 1st November 2008 approved two key documents for the administration of the Association:

- a constitution (click here) comprising "strategic" provisions (such as objectives, organisation) which change very rarely and which are formally lodged with the French authorities; and

- a set of internal procedures (such as job descriptions, quorum, voting) which are susceptible  to more frequent change and which can be modified by the Committee and/or by AGM, without needing to involve the préfêt  (click here).    

ACCSO Secretary will translate the documents into French, the accuracy of which will be checked by two French nationals associated with ACCSO.  The French-language Statuts document will be lodged with the préfêt for official publication and all future modifications will be based on these.  Parallel English-language versions will be maintained to the extent possible; but the French documents will remain the Association's documents of record, both internally and externally.

For reference and for the record, linkages are provided to the 1992 French document, and to its English translation.
