Product: Creation within ‘Word-press’ but on the server of mirkollektiv.at; a homepage without advertising, free of charge in terms of online provision and operating time until cancelled; support and IT support, online provision on completion of the website ‘nadeum.eu’. Accordingly, NADEUM can afford € 500.00 for the new ‘NADEUM.eu’ website. Minor price deviations are permitted.
[Preliminary contract with ‘Gizmo’ read, discussed, approved, authorised].

Resolution no.: 011

Resolution – 11: – rv
It was decided that Mr Marcus Grimas (Gizmo) will develop, provide and support the following IT services until further notice:
Domain administration
Set-up, installation and turnkey handover of e-mail accounts and further administration
as well as creating the NADEUM website with the official address ‘www.nadeum.eu’, installing important tools, backing them up and notarising them so that all data can be transferred to NADEUM at any time in the event of an accident, death or other unforeseen events.
In addition, Marcus Grimas alias Gizmo is authorised to act on our behalf vis-à-vis third parties in our favour in all IT-related matters.

Explanation:
Due to a price increase of 50% and more than 150% for 2 @nadeum.eu emails (IT administrator from 2019 – 2023) NADEUM has to pull the ripcord. The entire board was informed and in a short extraordinary board meeting it was unanimously decided that a new contractual partner for website; domain administration and email hosting must be found. Thanks to the President’s network, this could be realised in a very short time. The association ‘Mirkollektiv’ and its chairman came to a very good and viable preliminary agreement with the President of NADEUM in a very short time in a professionally constructive dialogue. All payments as well as the preparatory and preliminary work and the technical support were already excellent within the framework of Decision No. 10. As a result, Gizmo was awarded the contract.

Resolution no.: 012

Georg – Josef Scherbaum’s motion was favourably received by those present. In the subsequent vote, the motion was adopted unanimously.
The following resolution no.: 012 was therefore passed
Mr Marcus Grimas was thus nominated and admitted to the NADEUM Board of Directors at the 5th AGM.
On 16 December 2023, 21:00, Mr Marcus Grimas also accepted this nomination.

Resolution no.: 013

Resolution – 13: – rv
Motion from 2024-02-20:
On the part of the African members from Kenya who want to establish a branch in Keneia – East Africa, the following motion was made:
Is it possible for the NADEUM headquarters in Vienna / Austria to support the future branch in Kenya through a one-time cost contribution from the NADEUM KENIA AFRICA members ‘Mr Denis-Cheruiyot-Mitei, Mr Ebeneza-Kipngetich-Maseti, Mr Eli-Kiprono-Yebei, Mrs Purity-Chepkoech, Mr Barnaba-Osman-Kwanjeli’? The total costs are estimated at up to € 400.00 including bank transfer costs for an intra-Kenyan NGO. (Supplement: The KES /Kenya Shilling/ has increased in value compared to the Euro, resulting in a total amount of € 750.00).
Justification:
In February 2024, the 4 Kenyans and one Sudanese decided to establish a NADEUM branch in Kenya.
In agreement with the Secretary General and the sufficient budget funds of the NADEUM headquarters in Vienna, the NADEUM Board unanimously decided to approve this application.
The application was accompanied by a statement of costs for the payments to be made. Every NADEUM member can view this under the internal data ‘Accounting’. The total amount is € 750.00 net. This amount includes both the logistical and the formal foundation costs. (Logistics: 3 NADEUM KENIA members: travel costs to Nairobi, hotel costs and catering costs; foundation of the association: all official costs) Gross including transfer costs will probably be around € 750.00 after settlement.
Discussion:
Andreas and Georg – Josef agree that the CENTRE in Vienna has sufficient budget funds to support the African NADEUM members in founding their Kenyan branch.
Decision at the end of February 2024:
The application of the Africans from KENYA was granted. It was decided that the money should be transferred after all police and official certificates and all personal data of the members that are important for NADEUM have been submitted. This will take place in the first week of March 2024.
Decision:
In the decision taken after careful consideration, the application was accepted 100% by the 5 NADEUM_KENIA members.
Decision:
It was therefore decided that the amount of € 750.00 will be transferred to the group in KENIA in the first week of March.
All invoice receipts are to be sent to the head office in Vienna once the branch has been founded.

Resolution no.: 014

Resolution – 14: – rv
It was put up for discussion-2024:
As Mr Andreas Andiel always had his laptop with him, but the President did not previously have a laptop that could be used exclusively for NADEUM-internal meetings, the Secretary General and Georg Scherbaum agreed that a laptop was absolutely necessary in this day and age.
Motion:
The following motion was submitted by the President to the NADEUM Executive Committee. The NADEUM Association should make it possible for Mr Georg – Josef Scherbaum to be provided with a laptop as part of his work for NADEUM. As sufficient funds are available, this request is granted.
Resolution:
It is decided to provide the President of NADEUM with a laptop of equal value (price approx. € 600.00).
Addition:
The President decided in May 2024 to purchase the HP laptop at his own expense and thus save the association additional costs.

Resolution – Addendum to resolution no.: 013 results in the
Resolution no.: 015

Resolution – 15: – rv
As the Kenyan shilling ‘KES’ has gained in value against the euro, NADEUM has had to increase its payments. As some payments were necessary in Kenya as well as in Austria for the establishment of the Africa Branch, the following motion was made:
Motion:
Purchase of a laptop for Denis (the old laptop became unusable) with the help of legal advice from Gizmo.
Notarisation with subsequent verification by a sworn interpreter. (This was required by the Kenyan association authorities. As well as a power of attorney from the NADEUM head office to the branch office authorising it to act independently in Kenya). Transfer of the necessary payments to establish the branch office in Kenya.
Decision:
All payments [ NADEUM – branch office foundation, travel and catering costs, new laptop and various small payments can be made, but must be kept traceable through accounting.
Addition:
As Denis Cheruiyot Mitei has credibly demonstrated his abilities and can substantiate all activities with invoices and reports, this one-off payment was made possible for him.

Resolution no.: 016

Resolution – 16: – rv
Due to the lack of time for proofreading and a profound interpreter, the President has decided to use DeepL.com & Write as a translation and proofreading tool. He will share 50% of the annual subscription payments with the NADEUM association and settle his share with the annual invoice.
