[EURO-Discuss] Things to discuss

[William Drake]

Hi,

Thanks Roberto, I thought maybe the first reference was to a chair of the
GA, but the sentence occurs in the midst of a section that is otherwise
about the board so it's not obvious.  There's a few other odd bits in there
as well which as Wolf suggests might merit tweaks.  I have no great
bureaucratic passion for bylaws but have alas seen what happens when they're
ambiguous or don't map with actual practice.

Best,

BD
