1.管理团队的共识是要有一个法律实体来管理论坛的资金、域名等实质问题，为论坛更好地运作提供保障，NGO是目前大家讨论得出比较符合我们需要的一种形式，如果有更好的形式（管理成本更小、风险也小），大家会积极考虑；

2.提案公开版公布NGO提案结果、在家园版鼓励大家理性探讨NGO议题，都是为了让更多同学拥有知情权，目前NGO的议题还是在讨论阶段，估计在新一届议事院会有一些实质性的表决；新一届议事院成立之后，希望也能推动议事院事务更公开透明。

一般来说如何作出决定取决于半数决议。半数决议是指需要主要成员，半数以上成员投票通过的决议

The votes may be by postal ballot, in person at the general meeting or by proxy, if allowed under the constitution. This does not mean it is the required majority of all members. For example, if an association has 100 members entitled to vote and only 50 members attend the meeting or give a proxy, then an ordinary resolution will be passed if 26 members vote in favour of it. A special resolution would be passed if 38 members vote in favour of it.
一个决议由决议所需，组织章程授权的人投票决定。投票可以使邮政的，个体的或者章程允许代理的。这并不是说全体成员需要投票。例如，组织有100人可以投票，会议中实到50人，那么普通决议26人可以通过，特殊决议38人可以通过。

Unless the constitution provides otherwise, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting will be decided by a show of hands. If participation in the meeting by a member does not allow for visual counting, then another form of acknowledging voting intention should be determined.
除非章程规定，投票决意采用举手表决。如果会议形式不能通过视觉计票，则需要确定其他投票形式

The constitution may provide that a poll may be requested by a specified number of members. A poll is a method of voting where votes are cast in writing rather than by a show of hands.
章程可以规定达到一定数量的成员可以要求投票，投票是指书面投票相对于举手

If the constitution allows, the chairperson may have a second vote at a general meeting if there is an equality of votes.
如果章程允许，主席可以拥有2票

Please note that the Act allows associations to make provisions in their constitutions for conducting postal ballots and must specify the kinds of resolutions that may be voted on by means of a postal ballot.
请注意，法律允许组织章程规定邮政投票的形式以及可以邮政投票的决议

Is it necessary to take minutes at a general meeting?
