Hi -RJ- and other members,

The idea is to make a new user
(for example username: nameproshelpfund)
(who will open one thread where the basic concept will be explained)

This user only receives NP$'s.
All users who want to do a donation of any size (1NP$ or 1000NP$'s)
can do that to that user.

The moment somewhere in the world there would be a tragedy.
(for example 9/11, tsunami or anything huge) we could use this relief fund
to help the people by donating all or a part of it to that cause
real emergency bank account.

In points:
- Anybody can donate any amount.
(you dont need to submit 4000NP$'s at once you can help with
whatever amount you want to help with and what you can spare
at that moment)


- RJ will be the only one who can remove funds from this account
(to donate it to the real bank account, after that financial transaction he can make a
screenshot of the payment so everyone can see what exactly happend
and what amount to witch account has been transferred)


- In the username profile everyone can see every moment how big
this relief fund has become.


- There will be a 3 special members who will be assigned to this project
and when something happens they will create a thread that will be
sticked... so everyone can see they can submit extra NP$'s
before the money get transferred from NP$'s to real $.

- before a transfer will be made a poll will open and a minimum of 75
members have to agree that this is a good cause to donate the money
to.

(The poll will also have a "negative donate" option. the moment 25
members have voted no, this the donation will not go through!!!
even though 75 people want to send it)


This way we can all vote in a fast manner if this tragedy will or will not receive
money from our NP Relief Fund.

- The 3 main members of this project will inform everyone about
what is going on and are more or less the spokes persons and the people
who start these threads in case of a tragedy.
(the reason why we need 3 members is that we always need someone
who can do this for us. Incase, we have only one spokes person/emergency
thread opener it could be that he/she is on vacation or has no internet on that moment
with multiple people; there will always be someone to be there.)


- There could be a link on the Namepros homepage on the right side
where people can click and directly come to the donation page.
so people can donate whenever they want to.

I hope we can set up this "Emergency NamePros Relief Fund"
It does not look very usefull now, but it could make a small difference
for some lifes in the future!

In case Ron and you all find it a great idea it would be my honour
and pleasure to set up the explaination thread and username etc...
To start this project.

thanks for reading.

kind regards,

Faisj.

Wonderful idea, faisj! I would fully support it; it also looks like you put a lot of planning and efford into it, and I don't see any problems it would have. You seem to have everything covered very well.

I feel that it would go over very well in this generous community we're a part of (just look at the charity ribbons fund!) and could help make people's lives better. I'm sure we'd see a whole ton of donations flow in if there was an emergency, too.

Thanks for your creative and caring thoughts, faisj! I hope an administrator agrees with you and gets something good going out of this. B-)

Thanks Etab,

If we can save only 1 life by this idea I would be really happy!
I hope more people can talk in this thread and give their opinion etc..

Great idea except for the 75 yay 25 nay Majority rules any other way just becomes a political thing. I think there is a voting period and the majority rules. IMO Happy to work on this and donate.

Because I don't want it to become a political aspect there should be clear
rules about the procedures.

The fact is that people easly would send the fund to a event.
To keep that honest people should be able to give their opinion.
Its easy to say yes, but hard to say no.

As such (after a lot of thought) 25 nay would overrule 75 yay.
(but, the nay votes only can be submitted within 42 hours after the poll is created)

Nice idea and it would be really nice if we could help immedatly.i hope genrous np'rs would definalty agree with it.
It would be nice if we could pay in installments we can accumulate lots of participation from every user.For ex-100 np in 10 days.
Once a np'r donation reaches 400.we could award him a badge for his donation.

Anyways its upto ron to decide whats best for us.

Interesting idea. I think I'd rather see the fund controlled by those members that are actually contributing to it, than just a general membership vote.

The problem will be that:
Will the person who donated 1NP$ have to same right as someone who
donated 10000NP$'s ?

I think that we will never have a problem in payout.
As it is pretty clear when a real tragedy happens.
(the voting/polling system just provides the community a way to
control it)

To what example causes would the funds go to. You mentioned 9/11 and the tsunami. If similar occurred would all the funds just go to the Red Cross? Or would it go to a NamePros member that was affected by the tragedy.

Hmm, isn't this already covered somewhat by the 'charity ribbons' concept? We just buy more ribbons during a specific incident when the time comes, no? We had that for the Tsunami, if I remember correctly

And if any further involvement is needed, I'm sure contacting the organization directly in question to donate would be equally beneficial (eg. red cross)

Examples:
- 9/11
- Tsunami
- Katrina's Tragedy
- huge earthquake
- huge floods
- etc...

Yes, to the Red Cross or a organisation who helps the people directly
in the disaster area. The idea is that we help as many people as possible
and perhaps with godshelp also save perhaps a life!

In someways it is. But, this idea is not to replace the charity ribbons in anyway.
Its a way that people can make donations below 400 that get accumulated
over a long period of time. People can make a fast transaction and also we
could have special events to increase the amount in this account.

The moment their would be a need for this sum of money (that is gathered
in a long period of time by small and big donations) we could send it to
the organisation who is in need of it at that time.

That's another great idea. There are many situations when members don't use their NP$ for anything, or can't afford a charity ribbon and donate their odd NP$ change to the account -- it will eventually add up, I'm sure.
