Gifts in kind - Some donations may be given as goods or services.

Session 5: Each candidate shall give a 3-minute closing speech to the General Assembly. The candidate can invite a person of his choice to introduce him in front of the General Assembly.

If the voter does not have an opinion on some candidates, or does not care if those candidates are elected or not, the voter may abstain by placing an "A" beside those candidates' boxes. If the voter feels that some candidates are not capable of fulfilling the job, they should place N beside those candidates boxes. This is counted as a vote of noconfidence in those candidates. All other candidates that the voter feels can fulfil the job are the ranked in order of preference starting from "1" and ending at that number of candidates who do not have an "A" or an "N" beside their name. If the voter feels they are unable to decide on any of the candidates, or if the voter does not care who is elected or if the voter does not want to take part in the election, they may abstain by placing an "A" in all candidates' boxes. This is to be greatly discouraged. Abstentions reduce the total pool of votes, and thus reduce the figure for the simple majority needed to reach a result. If the voter has no confidence in any candidate, then an "N" should be placed in all candidates boxes.

Collecting the ballot papers: MC's ballot papers shall be collected and kept separately from the member ballot papers. Incorrectly filled out ballot papers: Any ballot paper that is left totally blank shall be counted as an abstention. Any box that is marked with a number that is greater than the number of candidates on the ballot paper shall have those boxes counted as abstentions. Any ballot paper that numbers some candidates boxes and leaves other candidates boxes blank shall have those unmarked boxes counted as abstention votes for those candidates. Any ballot paper that does not contain the initials of the MCP and the stamp of AIESEC in Croatia shall be disregarded. Any ballot paper that does not number all or some of the candidates' boxes in consecutive number order shall have the blank boxes treated as abstention votes against those candidates and all other boxes shall be treated as the prioritised ranking of the candidates. Any ballot paper that has numbered 2 boxes with the same number shall be considered valid for all the numbered votes above the "mistake". If the redistribution process means that either of the two candidates where the "mistake" occurred is now the preferred choice, the vote for that candidate shall be considered an abstention. Counting the votes Before votes are counted, cards bearing the name of each candidate, "abstention", and "no-confidence" shall be laid out on a table. The vote counters look at each ballot's number 1 preference and place the ballot paper in the according pile, or in the "abstention" or "no-confidence" pile. If a candidate receives a simple majority of the total number of non-abstention votes that candidate is the winner. If there is no result, the candidate with the least amount of number 1 votes is eliminated, and the number 2 preferences are distributed to the other candidates. Continue this process until a candidate receives a majority of the votes. If there are 2 candidates remaining, and a ballot paper votes: o "N" for one candidate, and "A" for the other, then the ballot paper is counted as a negative vote against the first candidate. o "A" for one candidate and a number for the other candidate, then the vote shall count as a vote in favour of the second candidate. o If the "no-confidence" result receives more votes than the final remaining candidate, then there is no result. o The MC casting vote shall be kept separately from the other ballot papers, and may be used only when the voting is at the stage where there is a dead lock, between the last candidate and the "no-confidence" vote, or to break a tie between two candidates who must be eliminated. 39

Compendium AIESEC in Croatia Last update: Apr. 2012

Counting of the votes shall be conducted by the Board of Presidents.

Eliminating a candidate If at any stage of the counting, two or more candidates have an equal number of votes and one has to be eliminated, the vote counters shall arrange all votes (excluding abstentions) in piles under each candidate by placing the ballot papers in piles according to which candidate is the least preferred on each ballot paper. An "N" vote counts as the lowest vote on a ballot paper. Only in the elimination process: if a ballot paper has an "A" for one candidate, and a number for the other candidate, then the ballot paper is counted as an abstention. The candidate who receives the most number of least preferred votes is eliminated. Announcing the result If no-result is achieved, then the MCP should declare this without calling the candidates to the plenary room. The MCP shall show the vote distribution to the General Assembly for all candidates for each round of the counting. Therefore, the result of each round of counting must be recorded. The MCP shall not declare if the MC casting vote was used. Instead, the MCP shall announce the winning candidate as having one vote more than the tied number of votes, and the losing candidate as having one vote less than the tied number of votes. For example, if the result is a 25 to 25 tie, the MC vote will be used to break the tie. The MCP will announce the result as 26 to 24.

Member Committee Elections Each candidate shall participate in the election process outlined below. Each candidate shall participate in a Q&A session in front of the Board of Presidents. The MPC has the power to invite 1 external representative to this session, who has to be approved by the Board of Presidents.

After the Q&A session the members have 3 days to cast their votes and submit them to the MCP. When a result is achieved, the MCP elect shall have 2 days to make the final decision.

3.2. Contacting a company from another list Entities can only call organizations on their company list. No entity may voluntarily contact an organization that is not on their list. Should an LC wish to work with a certain organization, it is their prerogative to research on which company list it belongs to and contacts the owner entity. In order to contact an organization that is on the company list of another entity the contacting entity has to ask for permission from the owner entity. Owner entity has a veto right to forbid the contacting entity from contacting the organization from its company list. The owner entity has one week to reply to the request made for contacting an organization from their company list. If the owner entity allows the contacting entity to contact the organization from its company list it should be introduced to the organization by the owner entity. It is still up to later to agree or not to introduce the requesting entity to the organization. If the contact is established and a cooperation/partnership rises out of it, the contacting identity becomes a co-owner. Owner entity has the right to transfer its ownership to the co-owner entity if wanted. This should also be respected when contacting local / regional offices. Would the cooperation/partnership between the organisation and the co-owner entity evolve and/or change in any way from its original form, the owner entity has to be warned before any proposition is done by the co-owner. The owner entity also has a veto right in this case if the new version of the cooperation/partnership damages the partnership that the owner or any other co-owner has with the organisation. Would the organisation ask to a co-owner for new opportunities of partnership, the coowner should address that request to the owner entity which will then choose whether it wants to take care of it or to agree for the co-owner to manage it. Also, this decision has to be made keeping the partners best interest as the first priority in mind. Should an entity approach organization from another company list without having informed the owner entity, then whatever benefits accrue to the imposing entity are allowed to be taken by the owner entity. Should the benefits be specific to the imposing entity such that they cannot be claimed by the owner entity, then the owner entity has the right to pick any organisation from the imposing company list with which the imposing entity does not already work intensely. This organisation will then henceforth belong to the new owner entity. 3.3. Being contacted from another company list If an entity gets contacted by an organisation that is on the company list of another entity, it has to let owner entity know about it before anything happens and let the owner entity updated of everything happening during all the discussions and the whole cooperation/partnership, if any. If cooperation/partnership there is, the contacted entity becomes co-owner. Owner entity has the right to transfer its ownership to the co-owner entity if wanted. The owner entity has a veto right on partnerships that other entities would like to sign with its organisations. This veto can only be used if the new partnership risks damaging the partnership between the organisation and the owner or damage AIESEC in any way.

7. NATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS When an organisation is partnering with more than 50% of the LCs, a meeting has to be organised by the owner entity between this organisation and the MC ER responsible to analyse the prospects of a national partnership. The MC should organise one National Partners Board meeting every year gathering all the national partners to gather their perspective on AIESEC and develop new products and programs according to their needs and the needs of the market. The MC should organise once a year a national TN Taker event gathering all partners having AIESEC interns, the AIESEC interns and Alumni. This event aims at networking and having alumni to promote re-raising and for every participant to share their experience and submit some pieces of advice to improve the exchange program while promoting other involvement opportunities. 8. NATIONAL CONFERENCE GUIDELINES The MC has the right to sell agenda time and promotional benefits while the LCs have the right to sell all other promotional benefits beside agenda time only in consultation with the MC. The split of the promotional benefits sold by the MC will be done accordingly to the revenue sharing model. Promotional benefits like banners, stalls and other benefits of a similar nature of national partners must be positioned at appropriate positions in plenary as instructed by the MC ER responsible and at all other visible spots during the rest of the conference. The MC is responsible for all agenda partners-related costs such as accommodation and meals. OC coordinators shall only communicate with the MC for partner payment, and not communicate with partners directly. The MC shall have a meeting with the OC or person responsible for the conference prior to the conference and shall set down guidelines and terms for the upcoming conference with regards to externals which will be reviewed during the course of the conference. The MC must be willing to help fundraising for specific national conferences and help in gathering support from the MC company list for the same. This should not come from an MC initiative but should be in answer to an explicit request from the OC. 9. GUIDELINES FOR SANCTIONS AND PUNISHMENTS A sanction or punishment is only attributed to an entity after decision of the ER taskforce. If any ER principle is trespassed, the trespassing entity will have to pay a fine of an amount suggested by the ER Taskforce, in addition to the financial damage that might have been caused to another entity. This fine will be transferred directly to the national development fund and the recovery of the financial damage that might have been caused will be transferred to the entity that suffered the damage. In case it is the whole AIESEC in Croatia network that suffered the financial damage, the payment will be done to the national development fund. If an entity does not fulfil their responsibilities in servicing to a National Partner, the totality of their national partnership share will be directly transferred to the development fund. This is valid from the moment the trespassing is done until the end of the term of the entity that trespassed.

If a situation occurs that an entity that received a sanction or punishment does not agrees with the decision or with the decision making process, the entity can ask BoP for a final opinion and decision about the case. In that case the entity has to present a request outlining the reasons and arguments, as well as, a detailed report about the situation.

Note: Further evaluation of fixed fee 4th year: In term 2015/2016 financial model should be reviewed and based on general progress of AIESEC Croatia, number of LC's in the country, percentage of growth and financial situation of LC's, decide about possibility of covering living costs of whole Member Committee or changing principle of paying MC living fee. If there is no posibility to cover whole MC costs, it should be like it is written in table Evaluation of fixed fee, column 5th year. 2. Variable fee: based on number of Exchange Variable fee should be invoiced by percentage of TN fee and EP fees by the following rules: First raised 8 exchanges (3 TNs + 3 EPs + 2 EPs or TNs) shouldn't be invoiced because they are part of full membership criteria Number of exchange includes: number of raised EP's and TN's th Percentage that should be paid for 9 and all followed exchanges is 15% from TN fee and EP fee.

Price of TN and EP fee? Percentage for variable fee should be counted from current TN fee and EP fee, separately for each LC. Clarification: if TN fee in LC A is 5.000,00 kn, LC A should pay 15% from 5.000,00 kn; if TN fee in LC B is 10.000,00 kn, LC B should pay 15% from 10.000,00 kn. In the case if some LC from some reasons doesnt charge EP or TN fee, percentage should be counted from agreed national minimum EP fee and TN fee. Current minimum national fees are: o EP fee = 75,00 EUR; o TN GIP fee = 2.500,00 kn; o TN GCDP fee = 900,00 kn. Listed minimum EP fee and TN fee should be used until National functional teams officially accept new minimum amount of fee.

Evaluation of variable fee: To ensure that proper and predicted evaluation of fixed fee and goal to transfer financial responsibility for fulfilling global membership criteria on LC's of AIESEC in Croatia will be achieved, percentage of variable fee should not be incriesed through next five years ie during the evaluation of the fixed fee. Who should pay Membership fee?

Membership fee should be paid by: 1. Full members of AIESEC in Croatia 2. Members in Alert 3. Initiative Group of AIESEC in Croatia In the case that Initiative Group of AIESEC in Croatia is not financial sustainable or doesn't have enough money to cover Membership fee, exact amount of fee should be paid by Partner entity of that Initiative Group. In the case that partner doesn't pay exact amount, it is considered that Partner didn't fulfil all criteria requested for Full membership of AIESEC Croatia. How fixed part of fee will be divided by entities? 51

Compendium AIESEC in Croatia Last update: Apr. 2012

Fixed part of Membership fee will be divided between entities by National fees breakdown model. National contribution from LCs will be divided proportionally based on LC performance in the previous 12 months, the market potential in its city, and a equal distribution to all LCs. The National Fees Breakdown would be divided in the following manner: Performance Based Criteria (60%) Total LC Expenses excluding hosting national conferences (30%), weighted exchange units (15%), and number of members (15%). Market Potential in city (25%) according to http://www1.biznet.hr/ Number of firms with more than 10 employees (15%) and number of firms with more than 50 employees (10%) Equal Distribution among the LCs (15%) Weighted exchange units are measured with realized TNs having a weight of four and realized EPs having a weight of 1. Number of members is counted by APEDOG report of each LC and membership database of LC VP TM, which should be updated each month. The National Fees Breakdown percentages are to be recalculated two times per year on Spring and Winter Leadership Development Congresses. Where will be spent received variable part?

Amount of fee received as variable part will be spent on the following manner: 75% can be used to cover difference between normal costs and minimal costs above mentioned 25% should go in reserve fund When it should be paid?

In first year of implementation LCs should not cover any expenditures connected with this model. Payment should start from second year of implementation. All costs connected with fulfilling membership criteria and listed in fixed part of fee should be paid minimum 7 days before expenditure is made. If there will be difference between amount LCs paid for some expenditure and amount MC have paid for same expenditure caused like result of estimate, this difference should be cut from first next fee. If any entity in AIESEC Croatia raises partnership, sponsorship or get donation for some of named costs, LCs should pay only 30% of value of product or service, as it is stipulated in ER principles. Amount of money got on this way can be used for any expenditure named in MC operational budget, as all other revenues MC get from partnerships of sponsorships. Living costs for MC should be split in four equal parts and paid at the end of each MC quarter: (end of September, end of December, end of March and end of June). th Variable fee should be counted and paid until 15 in month for results from previous month. Reporting system Note: should be covered in working policies, but as working policies is not made, proposed and accepted, we consider this should be specified as part of model
th th h

Three times per year: until 20 of November, until 20 of March and until 20 of June MC VP F is obligatory to make short financial report on investment of the amount of money received from LCs.
