 <\/p>\nThe rules to start a new SIG are simple:<\/b>\n

    \n
  1. The proposed SIG’s activities must be lawful in the political jurisdiction in which its activities will take place.<\/li>\n
  2. The proposed SIG cannot be entirely duplicative (of site and activities) of an existing SIG under another name.<\/li>\n
  3. The SIG must be open to all interested Mensans, except for certain SIGs designated confidential.<\/li>\n
  4. The name Mensa or the stylized “M” may not be used in a SIG’s title.<\/li>\n
  5. SIGs must have at least one Calendar item in Mphasis between semi-annual SIG listings, except for exceptions designated with the symbol “*”.<\/li>\n
  6. In addition to other forms of contact, every SIG must list a telephone contact number for the SIGs Directory and all Calendar items.<\/li>\n
  7. All contact persons listed in all SIG Calendar items must be current members of American Mensa.<\/li>\n
  8. If a SIG is a local chapter of a national SIG, then dues may be collected if the national SIG assesses them. While other local SIGs do not have dues as such, all expenses incurred as a result of their activities must be borne entirely by their participants.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\nNote: Whether you participate in a national or local SIG, you should know the following:<\/b>\n

      \n
    • SIGs are voluntary associations of members of\u00a0Mensa, which operate independently of\u00a0Greater NY Mensa. Their financial activities and liabilities are entirely their own, and not those of\u00a0Greater NY Mensa. Furthermore, no SIG leader may obligate\u00a0GNYM\u00a0in any way.<\/li>\n
    • Just as SIGs’ activities and liabilities are their own, so is the responsibility for disciplining SIG members where necessary. SIG leader(s) and\/or the SIG membership have full authority to sanction any member of the SIG whom they deem has interfered with effective functioning of the SIG’s activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
