AGM 2009: The agenda - Please comment and contribute

Dear WCN members,

We're greatly looking forward to our November workshops and Annual General
Meeting and hope you've added the dates (4 - 8 November) to your diary.

On Saturday 7th November will be the annual general meeting and we hope to
see as many of you there as possible.

*Please give your input for the agenda by 30th September* by sending an
e-mail to Steering Committee member Simon Field s.d.field-qw6QB7/[email protected] cc.
Tanja Eskola [email protected]

Below is the draft agenda developed by the Steering Committee. On receiving
your suggestions SC will decide where best to fit them into the agenda (it
may be that some will also be discussed in workshops outside of the main AGM
if they are not matters of making binding decisions on how the network is
run).

The final agenda will be sent out in the first week of October, together
with the relevant documents that you will need to read.

Please note that this year for the first time we will be running online
forums on the themes for the annual meeting in order to gain as wide and
well-informed input as possible. Further details about this will be sent
soon, and we strongly encourage your participation, whether you are able to
come to the AGM in person or not.

Looking forward to hearing from you by 30th September,


Best carfree wishes,
WCN Steering Committee
