This invite has been send to the French, Belgian-Flemish, Czech, German, Italian, Spanish and Portugese societies as we have no contact information on societies in other European countries. If you are a member of an active society in another European country please forward this message to the president of your society.
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 thing.
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.
