Although this grant is jointly requested, two employees will be employed in the organization Shared Knowledge, and one employee in the organization GLAM Macedonia, and organizations will be legally accountable for them in terms of responsibilities and salaries. Note that the employees will not have free access to the bank account, as every transfer has to be signed by two Board members of the organizations in order to be processed.

This year, both Macedonian User Groups will have three employees in requested grant proposal for 2021.

Therefore, only Community Manager funded from this grant will have obligations to support activities on both organizations. Both organizations will inform each other on beginning of the month on e-mail for planned activities during respective month in order Board Members of Shared Knowledge to inform the employee for planned activities of both organizations, so the employee has sufficient time for preparations of planned activities of both organizations. The Community Manager will have to send report by e-mail about their work monthly to both organizations, and at least once in three months period of time, Board Members assigned of both organizations will have internal meeting to talk with or without employees for activities mentioned in this grant.
