LoCo Governance - How is your LoCo-team organised?

[Niels Kjøller Hansen]

Hi All

In the Danish LoCo-team, we are currently having a debate about our
governance structure. 

Up until now, all decisions have been made by everyone who shows up the
IRC meeting (generally by discussion, sometimes by majority votes). We
have a association (danish: "forening") with a membership, originally
set up to handle donations and the like. That association has a board
consisting of 5 members (1 president, 1 treasurer and 3 ordinary
members) and 2 extras. 

Currently the association members and the board has no more say than
everyone else at the IRC meetings, even in matters concerning the
associations finances, and that worries some people.

So, how do you do it in your LoCo? Is there a certain level of
contribution required to handle money for the LoCo, does contributers or
'members' have more of a say?

Regards,
Niels
