Here is an interesting proposal on Sakapfet (by Toup). What do you guys think?

"My proposal:

Scope:

Raising money to support the development of our football.

Money will be raised by conducting fundraising, selling of related products like match tickets and t-shirts and by collecting member fees.

Here is how I think we can reach that goal:

1- We organize a fans club.

a) Members of the club pay a minimum of $5/month ($60/year).

b) Members can contribute more than the minimum $5/month. However, all members should be entitled to the same benefits (detailed below).

c) A fund (bank account) should be created in all transparency and the trusties (at least 3) of the fund should be chosen by the members of the club.

d) One member will be selected as the chairman of the club. That person will be responsible to initiate negociations/contacts with the FHF and other entities when necessary.

e) The chairman cannot be a trusty of the fund.

f) The trusties and the chairman (at least for the first 2 years) should be selected from the first group of members who join the club prior Haiti's first WCQ match. All those members will be seeded as 'senior members'. Everyone who joins the club after Haiti's first match will automatically become a 'senior member' after two consecutive years of membership.

g) The club will make direct contribution to the FHF, however the 'senior members' can decide in a vote to use the club fund to help resolve a specific problem like providing a foreign-based player with round-trip ticket or reward a player for his/her performance.

3) Club Meeting:

a) The chairman and the trusties will be required to keep the club members updated on their activities. I suggest they post those updates in the main forums: Sakapfet, Haitiwebs, Haitisports, and Haititfoot, and the FHF website when/if created.

b) It's not necessary that the club create its own website as it's better for all Haitians to see the club as the "Haitian Club" instead of just the club of a specific website. Thus, when a debate is called, I would suggest the club rotate between the main forums.

2) To receive our money, the FHF should accept to do the following:

a) FHF will make tickets for match in the US and Canada available to members of the club at a discounted price.

b) One member of the FHF will meet the club (via one of our forums) at least twice a year to discuss issues related to the development of our football.

Feel free to knock this proposal out if you think it won't work. I have zero pretention it will. It's just a suggestion on how we can do something for our country.____________"

I'm all for it for this proposal and think it is a good way that we can help our Football
