[EURO-Discuss] Final preparations for Lisbon GA -- last inputs needed

[Wolf Ludwig]

Dear all,

we just completed our last monthly call before the upcoming Lisbon GA in June and discussed some last organisational points (among others).

Please note: Hotel rooms are booked for all registered participants for 19-20 June or two nights at the Altis hotel (what is the EURALO GA and EuroDIG venue):
http://www.altishotels.com/EN/ and

As you may have noticed, I circulated a draft of the Board report 2012-13 FYI today what needs to be approved as a regular part of our GA.

We are on the way to finalize our Agenda for Lisbon with three parts:
a) a formal one reflecting usual Bylaw requirements (quorum, report and re-/elections of officers) 
b) key and intro speakers (Sébastien, Nigel and Olivier) and
c) the *content part* on org. assessment (strength and weaknesses), definition of EURALO’s key themes and priorities, and how to improve and strengthen our member’s involvement in regular activities. 

Your suggestions for the agenda parts are welcome! See:

As we need to conduct re-/elections for Officers and functions at the Lisbon GA (see point 6 of the Board report), we need to follow some procedural requirements fixed in our Bylaws. The regional officer selections will be held at the GA, the proposed schedule, Draft Election Timetable is as follows:

1. Nominations Open: 27 May 
2. Nominations Close: 14 June
3. Nomination Acceptance by candidates: On or before 18 June
4. Listing of candidates for the GA: Between 18-19 June
5. Voting Results announced: 19 June at the GA and meeting minutes.

Last but not least: Please don’t forget to get registered for EuroDIG what you have to do by yourself ASAP (some of you did already) to provide some planning security for the organizers – see:

Thanks for your support and I am pleased to welcome most of you soon in Lisbon.

Kind regards,
Wolf
