Announcing the WINNER of the name vote......


Recommended Posts

No logo yet until we work out the name issues.

 

Though the group name and the website don't have to be the same I guess.

 

Pandora I have sent you a private message with some thoughts about it.

 

But I am not sure if it is htere or not, since there is nothing in my sent box.

 

Anyway, it is easier than you think.

 

It is going to be a non profit organization in a form of association.

 

You are going to need an estatute of creation, with the association rules, including the possiblity to form a federation with other state associations.

 

There are some diferences among states cannabis law, but i dont think it is going to be a real problem.

 

You are going to need also some political support, from a political party or politician.

 

The aim of the association cannot be anything illegal, like smoking cannabis, the aim should be public information and peaceful and lawful demosntrations and debates around the theme.

 

You can expect cops from the first day in the office. There will be pressure from some right handed authorities and church.

 

Here there is a very useful link anyway http://www.ato.gov.au/nonprofit/

 

Have a look there and tell me what you think.

 

I dont know every detail and I am not from Australia, but I had my experiences in the past with those reformists and more counterculture groups. Becuase of that I feel more research should be done.

 

I will be here, if you guys want to talk more about it, it is going to be my pleasure.

Thanks Alchy,

that's some good info.

 

As for the website, CanaAustralia.org.au or CanaGroup.org.au are both good, though it would be better if we can just get the acronym as the website, even if it means voting again. I think a good acronym pretty much makes an organization, it's what makes people remember the name at all.
