+## Summary
+
+This document is analyzing the structure of PyGreece AMKE, the legal entity of the
+community, and the PyGreece community principles. A nice schema, summarizing the PyGreece
+AMKE structure and the main activities done by the community is the following:
+
+![PyGreece Organizational Structure](../../assets/img/pygreece_organizational_structure.jpg)
+
+## PyGreece AMKE
+
+### Board of Directors
+
+The board of directors is the main body of PyGreece AMKE. It's responsible for any
+strategic decision regarding the present & the future of the organization. Furthermore it
+is responsible for:
+
+- Deciding the budget, venue & dates of PyCon Greece.
+- Deciding the budget of all Python community projects led by PyGreece community members.
+
+### Directors
+
+There are two types of directors inside the board:
+
+- _Administrators_: They are the managing members of the legal entity and have the
+  authority to act on legal basis on behalf of the organization. Each PyGreece AMKE board
+  should have 3 administrators who can act alone or as a group.
+- _Members_: They cannot act on legal basis on behalf of the organization, although they
+  can represent the organization. They have voting rights.
+
+### Member Roles
+
+While the administrators are focused on running the legal entity of PyGreece AMKE, the
+members have specific roles, serving all actions run by the PyGreece community. Those
+roles are:
+
+- _PyGreece community projects_: Directors with this role are dedicated to the Projects
+  run by the PyGreece community. The director with this role is responsible to find,
+  identify, raise ideas, opportunities or needs, initiate implementation, maintain, and
+  take forward every PyGreece community project, while making sure that more and more
+  contributors will come on board, and we create an impact.
+- _Community outreach_: Directors with this role are responsible for the PyGreece
+  community outreach and the online community server. They are the main contact for
+  community events that the PyGreece community attends and they are responsible for
+  strategic decision making regarding the discord server.
+- _PyCon Greece_: Directors with this role are monitoring the progress of the PyCon Greece
+  conference. They are in contact with the board & the conference workgroups. In more
+  details, they:
+  - Communicate all important updates with the board.
+  - Select the lead of each team.
+  - Make sure that the timeline of the conference will be met.
+
+### Current Board of PyGreece AMKE
+
+The current serving board of PyGreece AMKE for the term 2024-2025 is:
+
+- Zisopoulos George, Administrator.
+- Kyrillos Panagiotis, Member, managing PyCon Greece.
+- Margaritis George, Member, managing PyGreece community outreach.
+- Nikolaou Lysandros, Administrator.
+- Petkos Theofanis, Administrator.
+- Skias Panagiotis, managing PyGreece community projects.
+
+### Board Lifecycle
+
+Each board serves an annual term. In order to elect a new board a General Assembly (GA)
+needs to be hosted. The General Assembly needs to be called at least 15 days before the
+preferred date. At the same point, 15 days before the GA, the board needs to select an
+independent election committee & to find all the next board of directors candidates.
+
+### Inactivity of Directors
+
+In case a board member is inactive (has not attended 4 board meetings in a row) the board
+has the right to vote for their replacement. They are able to select another member as
+long as this member is a confirmed PyGreece community member.
+
+### Re-Election Limit
+
+A member can serve a specific role (e.g Administrator or Responsible for PyCon Greece) two
+times in a row maximum. A member can be elected as a board member for a maximum of six
+times. The limits are reset in case the member takes a one-term break from the role and/or
+the board membership.
+
+### Board Elections
+
+Only registered members of the community have voting rights. The board is responsible for
+communicating a registration form through the PyGreece Discord Server two weeks before the
+elections.
+
+The election committee, selected by the previous board, has no right to participate in the
+elections. The committee:
+
+- Hosts the vote to confirm that the financial status of the organization is acceptable by
+  the GA & to end the previous board term.
+- Decides on the voting process that outlines the format of the Directors elections.
+- Decides the process of resolving ties beforehand.
+- Hosts the vote for the next board of directors.
+
+After the election the newly elected board decides the roles as they are described in the
+[Member Roles](#member-roles) section.
+
+## PyGreece Community Principles
+
+Below you can find the main principles of the PyGreece community, the Greek Python
+community managed by PyGreece AMKE. The bylaws of the PyGreece AMKE entity are different
+and can be found [here](https://publicity.businessportal.gr/company/180308907000).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT] The board of PyGreece AMKE is currently working on the legal format of the
+> community principles mentioned below. Therefore, while they are considered a very
+> important part of the way that PyGreece community operates, they don't have any legal
+> force yet.
+
+- The name of the community is "PyGreece Community", abbreviated "PyGreece".
+
+- The name of the legal entity responsible for "PyGreece Community" is "PyGreece AMKE".
+
+- PyGreece AMKE is a civil society actor (Civil Non-Profit Company) created by Greek
+  Python community members to serve the mission of the PyGreece community. The mission of
+  PyGreece AMKE can be found [on our mission document](../about/en.md#mission).
+
+- The organization detals of PyGreece AMKE are
+  [on our mission document](../about/en.md#organization-details)
+
+- Membership is open and free to individuals who wish to actively engage in implementing
+  the PyGreece community mission.
+
+- To become a member, the applicant must send an email to the PyGreece AMKE board of
+  directors.
+
+<!-- TODO: Provide a form for member registration -->
+
+- The formal decision making bodies of the PyGreece community are:
+
+  - The General Assembly.
+  - The Board of Directors.
+
+- The General Assembly is the highest decision making body of PyGreece community. It meets
+  in a regular annual meeting and in extra sessions when called by a PyGreece community
+  member. The General Assembly runs independently from PyGreece AMKE, apart from selecting
+  the next board.
+
+- All decisions of the General Assembly are made by simple majority among the voting
+  members. Members may vote by proxy or submit written votes in specific issues to the
+  board. All written votes must be declared by the administrators of PyGreece AMKE at the
+  beginning of the meeting. If there is a draw between two proposals a second vote shall
+  be made and so on.
+
+- An extra meeting of the General Assembly must be held within 28 days of the request.
+  Members should be notified at least 5 days prior to the date of the GA (via discord
+  and/or email).
+
+- The board of directors is responsible for selecting an independent host & the format of
+  the GA with the agreement of the GA requester.
+
+- The board handles all day-to-day business of PyGreece AMKE. It is allowed to enter
+  contracts for PyGreece AMKE and handle any issues of the PyGreece community that have
+  not been otherwise regulated in the bylaws or by the General Assembly.
+
+- The administrators of the board have the authority to sign for PyGreece AMKE.
+
+- A member may at any time terminate their membership by informing the board in writing.
+
+- A member that acts against the interests of the PyGreece community or PyGreece AMKE may
+  be expelled by a supermajority (full majority) decision of the board of directors. In
+  case this member is a director, the director considered to be expelled is excluded from
+  the vote and the decision needs the supermajority of the rest of the board to pass. A
+  member may be expelled from the General Assembly of the PyGreece community too, at an
+  assembly meeting by a regular vote with simple majority.
+
+- In the case of dissolution, the assets of PyGreece AMKE go to an NGO voted by the
+  General Assembly of the PyGreece community.
