Our two-part General Assembly of 1 July,
2010 with the debate on the European Civil Society House was a great success. The minutes of the first part and the report
of the second are available (see links below). Many thanks to Janice Thomson
and Philip Weiss for making this a lively and interesting event.
As you will see from the minutes, we
elected a new board which will hold its first meeting on 3 September 2010. I
would like to thank those of you who have agreed to continue on the Board and
for your invaluable support. A particular welcome goes to the newcomers to the
Board, which is stronger, more diverse as a result.
We will be writing shortly to Board Members
about the meeting on 3 September.
We agreed at the General Assembly to
submit the new categories of membership for approval by all members. This is
because there was a lot of interest expressed by those unable to come to Brussels on 1 July. We
therefore enclose the proposals to amend the statutes together with a form to send back to us. When we have heard back from
you we will register the new statutes with the Belgian authorities.
Best wishes,
Tony Venables, Director and Alicia
Karpetsky, Executive Manager

ECAS
General Assembly and ECSH Public Debate
Thursday 1 July 13h00-15h30 at the Silken Hotel (11-19 Blvd. Charlemange, 1000 Brussels)
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
You are most cordially invited to the ECAS General Assembly and a public
debate on the European Civil Society House (ECSH). The Assembly is
structured into two parts:
- 13h00-14h00: The first part of the meeting is the internal ECAS
business of the General Assembly. We will be discussing the elections
for potential ECAS Board of Directors and important amendments to the
statues. Only Members can attend.
- 14h00-15h30: The second half of the meeting is an open public debate
about the pros and cons of the European Civil Society House project.
Philip Weiss of ZN, an Internet strategy company, will be in favour of
the virtual house whilst Lone Larsen, a Board Member and Director of the
Danish Culture Foundation, will speak for the physical house. Monica
Frassoni will chair the debate. Of course we might conclude that we need
both, but what is the balance between the two?
Should you wish to attend the public debate from 14h00-15h30, please
