i. Paragraph 7(2) [§7, stk. 2]
1. Current; “Hovedbestyrelsen består af 8 medlemmer: en Formand, en Næstformand, en Sportschef, en Kasserer, en Sponsoransvarlig, en Kommunikations- og Marketingansvarlig, en Event Koordinator og en Human Ressourceansvarlig.”
2. Proposal; “Hovedbestyrelsen består af 7 medlemmer: en Formand, en Næstformand, en Kasserer og 4 menige bestyrelsesmedlemmer.”

1. Current; ”De enkelte sportsrådsmedlemmer, den Kommunikations- og Marketingansvarlige, den Human Ressourceansvarlige og Event Koordinatoren skal alle lægge budget for det kommende regnskabsår, som skal være Kassereren i hænde ultimo november”
2. A direct consequence of deleting the previous paragraph. The paragraph is regarding budgets and refers to the constellation of the Board which was altered.
3. A member pointed out that the paragraph also refers to the sports responsible and therefore only the Communication and Marketing Responsible, the Human Resource Responsible and the Event Coordinator should be deleted from the paragraph, so that the Sports Responsible still have to make a budget and bring it to the cashier at ultimo November.
4. Therefore the paragraph is altered to; ”De enkelte sportsrådsmedlemmer skal alle lægge budget for det kommende regnskabsår, som skal være Kassereren i hænde ultimo november”
iii. Paragraph 4(2) [§4, stk. 2]
1. Current; ”Holdansvarlige, trænere og medlemmer af Hovedbestyrelsen kan vælge mellem at: 1) Blive fritaget fra at betale kontingent 2) Modtage kompensation/goder fastsat af Hovedbestyrelsen på det konstituerende møde jf. §8 stk, dog maksimalt det dobbelte af det betalte kontingent.”

3. The proposal is regarding non-members being able to get elected for the Board, if not enough members with a right to vote, would run for the Board
(a) A member motivated for the change, as it is only members of CBS Sport who can vote, so they can just choose.
(b) Another member noted that another paragraph says that any runner-up is going to be alternate to the post.
(c) The Chairman added, that it is has not been a problem to find board members this year, but for instance there has been a person who wanted to run but had not been a member of CBS Sport for the three months which is required to be elected.
(d) A member suggested that we removed “stemmeret” (the right to vote), so that any member of CBS Sport could be elected.
(e) Four suggestions;
i. Ekstraordinær generalforsamling

I tilfælde af stemmelighed vægter formandens stemme for to. I tilfælde af stemmelighed hvor Formanden tilhører en sportsgren repræsenteret med fire stemmer i hovedbestyrelsen, frafalder Formandens ekstra stemme. I denne situation vægter Næstformandens stemme for to.

3. A change so that all board members has one vote at the board, as the “Sportschef” (sports chief) who represented the Sports Responsible, before had 2 votes.
(a) As the “Sportschef” no longer exists due to the change of the constellation of the Board. Therefore a direct consequence of the previous change.
viii. Paragraph 8(7) [§8, stk. 7]

6. Election of board members (Chairman, Vice Chairman and Cashier are being elected for a two year period, others for a one year period)
(a). Vice Chairman
i. Thomas Staalager
1. Football player. Been here since the start of CBS Sport. Wants to improve for not only football but all the sports. The new board should not expand, but focus on the sports we have and improve. Get the board closer to the members. Members should know that they can always go to the board. Will give more synergy and more volunteers. Not been elected, but been in the board through the Sports Chief-position, and actually thereby been at the board for 2-2½ years. Wants to push Frederiksberg Kommune and the other stakeholders, to give better facilities. A goal of becoming the Chairman. Has done a lot of the Chairman’s work in her absence. Has been webmaster and through that work, been in touch with all sports and feels that he’s been helpful. Elect Thomas to get the good work to continue.
ii. Christoffer G. Larsen
1. Studies Cand.merc.IMF and doing his master thesis. Has the past year been a part of the board, as Communication and Marketing Responsible. Is coaching women handball and also playing handball, when he has the time. Commitment. Board members has lost their motivation and/or just left the board before time. That’s not the best scenario. He will try to keep the board together. And he intends to stay all two years. Also when he finishes studying. Has introduced CBS Sport on intro-days, and has made all kinds of events and showed up for a lot of CBS Sport stuff. Going to run for FIU (Frederiksberg Idræts-Union) tomorrow and will through that position try to get facilities for CBS Sport. We should focus on the current sports and not try to get new ones. There are a few things that could get better at the current sports. The satisfaction-survey is going to be a guideline for his further work. Is going to hear everyone before deciding and not just go on hunches and good-feeling. Will focus on the mission and strategy of CBS Sport. Two main problems; financial problems at some of the sports. Sponsoring is a goal to advance. Main problem; the facilities. Will work on this – if he gets the spot at FIU.
iii. Questions for the two;
1. For Thomas; a member asks whether the Chairman is also a football player. And she is. Which the member found problematic
2. For both; if you do not get elected, will you still be an asset for CBS Sport?
a. Thomas; I will run for the board b. Chris: Will run for the board as well. And will be committed on the same things. But it will not be as possible as an ordinary board member
3. For Thomas; you said you were going to run for Chairman, so at some point, you will have to leave the vice chairman position to become chairman, which is uneven years unlike Vice Chairman which is in even years.
4. For Thomas; you mention the gap between the board and members. How are you going to resolve that? The new Board constellation is going to provide that.
5. For Chris: do you want to become the chairman? Not sure, eventually I would like to have a career. So I don’t know. Can’t say for certain. But I could see myself as a potential candidate in a few years.
6. For Chris; if you don’t get elected for Vice Charirman will you then stay in CBS Sport for two years or one? Well, one, and then see the situation next year.
7. The Chairman wanted to add to the first question to Thomas, that she is not representing one sport, but also handball, tennis, football, skiing and more.
8. For Chris: How are you going to combine your thesis and this Vice Chairman position? Honestly, I look forward to finish my thesis. As it is now, I spend a lot of time at coaching all three handball teams and I might give that up to devote myself to the position.
iv. Written vote
v. Vice Chairman; Thomas Staalager
b. Cashier
i. Asbjørn Nordly
1. Has been cashier before, and after being here for a year has now gotten into all the stuff and wishes to continue

Been doing accounting at bars as well. Finds it interesting. Wants to do rolling budgets, which gives a more updated picture of the budget. Will go through all sports. Committed, good with numbers, wants to learn from the American mistakes ☺
iii. Questions for the two
1. For both; how long do you wish to continue? Brian might want to “move up” to some of the other positions in the Board. Asbjørn is going to stay as long as it is fun. Depending on the people. But will not stop untimely.
iv. Written vote

iii. Jonathan Rasmusson 1. Been out of the picture for a half year because of exchange. Football player. Been in the party crew, but a quite passive member. Wants to do tournaments; Paris and others. Studies philosophy – wants to add that to CBS Sport. Wants to contribute.
