The NetComm Suisse Association is committed to sound, democratic business management with a strong belief in the transparency and fairness of its operations.
Day-to-day business is managed by the Operations team, under the guidance of General Director Carlo Terreni.
The Association as a whole is overseen by the President, the General Assembly and the Advisory Board (elsewhere referred to as the Executive Committee), while drawing on the deep and broad expertise of several Working Groups as it pursues its aims. Information about each of these structures is given below.
The General Assembly is the supreme governing body and owner of the Association.
The Ordinary General Assembly is held once per year, generally on the third Friday of each May, or else within the first 4 months of the calendar year. General Meetings are coordinated and moderated by one or more Members of the Board. Its role is, substantially, to:
i. Discuss and vote upon Board Resolutions and other Strategic Decisions
ii. Discuss and evaluate any issues or proposals presented by members
iii. Determine any changes to membership/fees structure/Articles of Association
iv. Discuss financial statements and auditor reports
v. Discuss and vote upon membership admissions/exclusions
Voting is carried out by show of hands, generally requiring a 3/4 agreement among members and with the approval of 2/3 Founder Members.
The President of NetComm Suisse Association sits ex officio in an advisory capacity on the Board. The role of the President is to interpret Board decisions, strategically direct the content of the General Assembly agenda, as well as to represent the Association externally and support the work of the General Director.
