[EURO-Discuss] Lisbon Results and Follow-Up

[Wolf Ludwig]

Hi Nick, dear all,

I would like to sign the MoU in the name of Comunica-ch (Swiss platform on the information society) but we are not a recognized ALS yet. After all the discussions about roles and rights of individuals at ALS / EURALO, I followed so far, I am still not sure whether individuals "attached to the cause of EURALO" can sign the MoU? Thanks for clarifications,

Regards, 
Wolf
