3. Discussions without decisions
3.1 Status of the practicalities and information letters ahead of the 17th Council Meeting
–> Mab and Marek
Jan's question about Minister attendance
Mab doesn't have practical information but he showed an informal agenda:
- Friday evening: arrivals and beers
- Saturday: side events, dinner together
- Sunday: council meeting
3.2 Discussing the mailing lists and associated policies
–> Alessandro
Pointed out the current situation regarding PPEUs mailing lists, suggesting a reorganisation of all mailing lists
→ Florian
We are obliged to send emails anyway
–> Mab
Most of PPEUs mailing lists are not used anymore and sending mails doesn't mean do it using a ML and some information might be deprecated
We can go further and even propose some inputs to the next CM
3.3 Road ahead for the end of the year and the start of the next one
–> Florian
Meant to have a look at our long term plan, given our current resources Florian would like to suggest to heavily focus the two proposals of how to restructure current organisation and recruite people, because the bottom line is that we are lacking on people and resources
Florian discussed also with Mikulas and they agreed that collective meeting are very useful to have a common horizon but Florian personally things that there are low chances to get them implemented
→ Jan
Wants to mention that PPCZ exited the governament and also regional elections were a wipe out
So they situation now in not good
→Mab
Points out that we could actively target people also in PPCZ to move the scope from National to Eureopan level: we need to be more active and proactive and less waiting some approval for someone else
