Marcel van den Broek Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) The following invite was send to the German, Portugese, Spanish, Czech, French, Italian and Belgian-Flemish societies as no contact information is available for other countries. If you are a member of an active group in another European country, please forward this message to your society president. Dear CP-societies, As you all probably know there are not many people left of the original EEE committee and many nationalities go unrepresented. We would like to restart this process as the volume of people who visit these events from all over Europe and beyond testify to its importance and demand. The Nancy EEE is a good spot to have a face to face meeting and restart the EEE process properly. We would like to invite the society presidents or someone they decide can represent them for a short meeting in Nancy to discuss the important things. There are many things we can discuss, like: Voting rules What should be part of an EEE, how should a proposal be made and decided on Communication, like an EEE Face book page and or website and what can/should we do with that And many other things. Of course we won’t have time for this in this first meeting (place to follow as we are discussing this with our hosts for this event, hopefully in the botanical garden or very near). Therefore we can see how fast we can proceed but for the moment there are three things we need to do: 1. Establish a committee, so a list of representatives and their contact information (preferably a primary contact and a back up person). 2. Decide how we are going to communicate and share information in the future. 3. Try if we can decide on the location of the next EEE. As by the original concept of the EEE-events, the language for the meeting will be English and short minutes on decisions will be taken. For the purpose of this meeting each represented society will have one vote, how to deal with countries with more than one society or societies of vastly different numbers of membership being some of the things to be discussed under voting rules in the future. Could you please let us know if you will be able to be represented and the name and e-mail of the representative so we can keep those people informed? If you can’t be at Nancy, would you please also state this and appoint a representative and provide us with that person’s name and e-mail so we can get them involved in the next phase? Please use voorzitter (at) carnivora.nl as a contact address. We hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards, Phil Wilson, Vice-chair and General Secretary The Carnivorous Plant Society Marcel van den Broek, President of Carnivora.
