Absolutely, remember: they might seem like a mere formality now but when shit hits the fan (as shit has a tendency to do, especially in organisations such as we are proposing now unfortunately), they will be scrutinized. 

I saw some suggestions of statutes to look in (SPI being one of them iirc), i haven't had the time but it would be very good to see if there are sensible articles we could copy from there.

I don't remember, was there a provision for members to force an (extraordinary) general assembly?
