Folks, (01)
Membership approval by the management board is a standard procedure in
associations, at least in Italy. I believe we just can't delete this from the
statute, from the legal point of view. I understand tha this rule is there to
prevent possible malicious maneuvers against the association's purposes: for
instance, a group of people (possibly not interested at all in the association)
may promote a mass membership campaign just to conquer the power. (02)
I can't refrain to make a personal note. I myself experienced something similar
in the past: many years ago, I was in an association of divorced fathers
defending their right to see their kids. It was "conquered" by psychologists
who applied for membership just in order to have a privileged channel for their
own businesses… The problem was that, unfortunately, the association had a very
poor statute (and it was not officially registered). (03)
Rules are useful sometimes, even if they look annoying at first :-) (04)
Best, (05)
