Not yet, I will prepare a first draft for the Board meeting on Saturday
motning in Paris.

We will discuss this point/motion from you with the Board -- and it's 
on the Board to decide whether we prepare a draft Resulution for the GA
-- OR just submit the point for futher discussions at EURALO, as you 
suggested, and to postpone a decission on it to a later stage/GA.

This point is not realy "new" but was already discussed in length before 
the creation of EURALO in Lisbon. Several concerns have been expressed in 
the meantime that *individuals" don't have the same participation rights 
at EURALO compared with ALSes. And where there is a substantial concern 
there should be a discussion on it -- according to my sense of democracy ;-)

Did I understand you properly, Vittorio, you are not against discussing this 
issue at the Board and the GA but not to take an immediate decision in Paris?

Regards,
Wolf
