Just yall got to remind me when to vote

parsley72.bsky.social•7 days ago

Same.

loosewheelnz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Sames! Hopefully they’ll send something out.

Why do right-wing activists want to take over InternetNZ? They don't like our new constitution. Some take issue with words like fair and inclusive. Others are opposed to our preferred leadership method "Co-Chairs with joint responsibility for leading the Board, one of whom must be Māori"

I've been a member for around twenty years, and in that time the organisation has been far from perfect. Where we're at now is an ok place, and better for the new constitution adopted last month. If the org is taken over by racists and free-speech absolutists, all of Aotearoa will be poorer for it.

NZ citizenship or residence required? (randomly, I am touristing in NZ right this moment, but only saw this because I follow NZ people on Bsky)

Joined a few months back when Fincham told me about it. When/wheres voting..?

karenonbike.bsky.social•7 days ago

Joined a few weeks ago. We got you.

scotty-nz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes I’m a member - please join its easy

loosewheelnz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Joined a couple of weeks ago! I know a few others did to. Hopefully membership gets up enough to prevent this.

Oh, is it not too late to join and vote? For some reason I thought it was.

murasakikiwi.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yeah, too late now. Needed to be by end of last month I think to get voting rights in 3 months

xn--t-0la.nz•7 days ago

We have voting for council and an AGM in 93 days. A takeover is planned by the right-wingers. Voting rights vest after 90 days of membership, so there are three days left to join to help defend this round.

I'm trying, but you guys don't make it easy. Joined almost a month ago, and still not fully set up. :(

Make sure you open the email that says "you're now a member of InternetNZ" as there's one more step

loosewheelnz.bsky.social•7 days ago

I received a different email weeks after joining saying I had to consent for membership.. didn’t recall anything like that in the process. Responded to the email on 16th and have heard nothing back.
Did not get a ‘you’re now a member…’ email.

🙃

narwhallibrarian.bsky.social•7 days ago

As far as I know they have never sent one of those out. It's sort of confusing tbh.

olimnz.bsky.social•7 days ago

Joined a couple of months ago. Looking forward to voting.

stufox.bsky.social•7 days ago

Done!
