The Board suggests to raise the annual fees beginning 1 January 2026:

The one-time registration fee will be charged on every membership level switch from now on.

Accepted by the General Assembly 

Application for the General Assembly 2025 of the TYPO3 Association according to Art. 12 of the bylaws.

With reference to the current statutes, it is proposed that the following passage be included or existing regulations be supplemented accordingly:

1. Each board member must receive at least 50% of the votes cast in the election.
2. If no candidate achieves this majority in the first round of voting, a further round of voting will take place between the two best-placed candidates.
3. Only when more candidates have achieved a majority will the final election take place according to ranking.

Reason

The aim of this regulation is to ensure that every elected board member has the majority of voting members behind him. This increases the legitimacy of those elected and strengthens trust in the board.

Currently, if, for example, two positions are to be filled in an election and there are only two candidates, a single vote is sufficient to be elected to the board. This could mean that if 500 votes are cast, 499 might collude against the candidate, but he or she would still be elected

To prevent this from happening, each candidate should receive at least 50% of the votes cast.

The Board of the TYPO3 Association recommends to support this petition.

During the GA the petiion was changed with consent of the proposer: The paragraphs: "If no candidate achieves this majority in the first round of voting, a further round of voting will take place between the two best-placed candidates. Only when more candidates have achieved a majority will the final election take place according to ranking." are removed. The details of the implementation should be clarified by the Board via the voting proceedings.

Accepted by the General Assembly 

Application for the General Assembly 2025 of the TYPO3 Association according to Art. 12 of the by-laws.

The Board suggests to change the duration of Board Members from two to three years.

Reason

Onboarding to a Board positions takes quite some time. In order to provide stability and efficiency we want to prolong the tension to three years. In General the Board aims to shrink to a Board size of six members, which would result into elections of two Board members per year. To compensate a smaller Board, more topic-releated committees should be initiated.
