[EURO-Discuss] apologies, Working Group on EURALO Bylaws revision

[Roberto Gaetano]

Sorry for having missed the call.
What could be useful is to build a bullet point list of the problems that we are trying to fix by changing the bylaws.
In other words, if changing the bylaws is the solution, what is the problem?
Cheers
