1/ Maite's resignation

Due to personal and availability issues, Maite wants to resign from the committee. The committee thanks Maite for her dedication and effort and understands the personal situation that has led Maite to resign. We wish her all the best and hope that in the future she will be able to return to the committee.

The statutes of the association state:

Art. 19. 1. c: El cessament dels càrrecs abans d'extingir-se el termini reglamentari del seu mandat pot esdevenir-se per: renúncia notificada a l'òrgan de govern.

Art. 19. 2: Vacancies that occur on the Coordination Committee must be filled by voting according to the system determined in the Internal Regulations through the Metadecidim platform. However, a member of the Association can provisionally occupy the vacant position.

The resignation is effective, as Maite has done it in front of the Coordination Committee.

The committee must be composed of a minimum of 9 members, so we have to call an election. A system of election and renewal of the members of the committee was established in 2020, you can find it on this link: https://meta.decidim.org/assemblies/general-assembly-association/f/1342/

In order to keep a diversity of profiles, we want to focus on women profiles.

2/ UX/UI offer

We have a vacancy for a designer, it will be done in person: https://decidim.org/blog/2024-03-05-oferta-de-feina-dissenyadora-ux-ui/

Carol and Nil will do the interviews, Pauline helps with CV process and interview design.
