Tim wrote a new post, Special General Meeting 1 month ago

Hello,

I am proposing a Special General Meeting for sometime soon (TBA) so that I can officially resign as DIrector of DIYNGO. I really have to concentrate on other things, especially Stimulate Systems – […]

Apologies for the belated relaying of our Champion’s latest activities. This message was received just before Christmas, 2011 (edited):

Tim commented on the post, Institutional Reform 1 month, 4 weeks ago

P.S. Must mention in passing the corporatisation of the Higher Education sector in the UK. These ‘institutions’ used to be a safe place to try out new ideas, less so now they are becoming more and more like […]

Tim wrote a new post, Institutional Reform 1 month, 4 weeks ago

One of the general barriers to doing the kind of ‘work’ we wished to be doing at DIYNGO has been the apparent sloth-like progression of institutional reform currently inherent in British society at least (and I […]

Tim wrote a new post, Wrapping Up DIYNGO? 2 months, 1 week ago

Finding myself thinking about wrapping up DIYNGO operations. As our Mission Statement says we were only ever supposed to be championing some of the issues we have touched upon (which led to many, many more). To me […]

Tim wrote a new post, Energy Issues in Rural England 2 months, 3 weeks ago

I was out walking around the Staffordshire Moorlands in the UK today. It was quite a gruelling hike mainly due to the threatening weather conditions. My, was it really quite blustery at times. Plenty of evidence […]

Tim wrote a new post, Special 3 months ago

Thinking of calling a Special General Meeting to discuss a few issues which arose from meeting a funding ‘expert’ from our local Community & Voluntary Support Office. Mostly we spoke of applying to Trustees? The […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 1 week ago

So we didn’t make it this time at least. Seems we didn’t supply all the necessary documentation to ECOSOC. Notably, we didn’t submit a certificate of registration apparently. I could wax lyrical about this process […]

Tim wrote a new post, Crowd Sourced Funding? 3 months, 1 week ago

So, we operate on zero budget, everyone funds themselves for all this work we do. If you would like to be a part of our work and/or have found our articles of interest do please consider a donation of your own […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 2 weeks ago

well, we’ve done all we can now. the FINAL deadline is later today 11/11/11 to get all of our documents in to enable UN ECOSOC to then ascertain if we will be granted ‘consultative status’. we’re told that Mr Paul […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Woo! Close to the new deadline now…just heard from our local MP Mr Paul Farrelly who has provisionally agreed to attest to our existence these past few years. Good man. Hopefully this will be enough of a […]

Tim commented on the post, New kid on the block – mazingira mtaani 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Thanks Mary – we look forward to an English script if you can find the time? You must be so so busy with this! A worthwhile initiative though and once again I am very proud to be a part of it in some small […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 3 weeks ago

OK, so we have been granted an extension for the submission of documents. Let’s now hope that it gives us enough time to rein them in.

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 3 weeks ago

And the saga continues. Seems like a letter from ECOSOC Under-Secretary General and UN-GAID will not suffice as a ‘goverment authority’ as far as ECOSOC are concerned – go figure. They seem to think one requires […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 3 months, 4 weeks ago

Well, well, well…seems like ECOSOC have not quite given up on us just yet. Our deadline to provide the necessary documentation has been extended slightly and the definition of Government bodies has been extended […]

Tim commented on the post, A Friend In Need… 4 months ago

Well, well. It looks like the first part of the new design is now working. I don’t quite believe it yet. Hopefully I can repeat the experiment in the cold light of a new day. It was all down to human error. Yep, […]

Tim wrote a new post, Signposting 4 months ago

We now have a collection of resources which are reaching some kind of critical mass. Over on the current ‘audio’ tab you’ll find 2 parts to a radio program Mary is working on which will be about all things […]

Tim wrote a new post, Strange Lands 4 months ago

Strange days have found us! We are slowly coming to realise that we are doing things a little differently from the ‘mainstream’. Thing is, its working and we’re as surprised as anyone. We operate in a […]

Tim commented on the post, ECOSOC “Consulative Status” 4 months ago

Well, well. It is looking like our application may not proceed any further now due to the inflexibility of the ECOSOC/DESA process. We are being asked for documents pertaining to official recognition from the […]
