New Day will be a group of interested people in Hong Kong who will select a few projects to work with and structure the aid to those projects together. New Day will be incorporated as a non-profit organisation with a memorandum of association drawn up according to Hong Kong law, and a bank account will be opened in the name of the foundation. New Day will be managed by a board of trustees consisting of no fewer than 6 and no more than 10 members. The board of Trustees will be chaired by an elected member. Trustees will be signatories on the New Day bank account and responsible for the payment of funds to designated charities. They will also be responsible for all the banking, accounting and member liaison in that particular year.
Members
Membership is open to anyone on the basis that they make monthly contributions.
A person can become involved with New Day at three possible levels, to the degree to which they choose:
Contributor - They can simply contribute financially and play no active role, not attend meetings and not participate in realising any projects. On a regular basis they will be kept up-to-date with New Day's activities.
Thinker - The can contribute financially and attend meetings when they are held and perhaps introduce potential projects without getting involved in any implementation.
Trustee - They can contribute financially, attend the meetings, propose various projects and actively take part in their setting up and any follow-up that may be required.
If someone would like to join, they can simply come along to the next meeting or just start their contributions immediately if they want to limit their involvement to that. If someone is leaving Hong Kong they can choose to discontinue their support, or can continue their monthly contributions if they still wish to be part of New Day’s projects in Asia from wherever they may have relocated.
