> Dear Members,
> 
> After more than one year of delay the board invites our members to
> participate in a Council Meeting. The meeting will be held online and it
> will take place from the 25th of May to the 15th of June to give all
> members a reasonable amount of time to go online and participate in the
> discussions and votings. Preceding the formal meeting there is an
> additional month of preparation where you will be able to look at and
> discuss the proposals and to appoint your Council delegates.
> 
> 
> What we need from you for you to be able to participate in the meeting?
> 
> To  be able to be represented at the Council meeting you need to send us a
> formal decision where you apoint your delegates. This should be a  decision
> taken by your board, General Assembly or a body of equal  relevance
> according to your statutes, and it should be documented in a  way that
> allows us to verify the authenticity of the decision. The  decision has to
> include the names of the delegates, in which order the  delegates have
> voting rights, and for which time frame the appointment  as delegate is
> valid. The number of delegates any member is entitled to  is defined in the
> statutes, and you can find the exact numbers here:
> http://ppeu.net/wiki/doku.php?id=1st_council_meeting_2015%3Adelegates.  We
> also need you to send us the email addresses of your delegates so  that we
> can invite them to the online platform where they will be able  to discuss
> the proposals before the actual meeting starts. We would encourage you to
> apoint your delegates for the duration of the full year to allow them to
> represent you for any further council meetings that might happen this year
> without the need for a new decision, but this is entirely up to you.
> 
> Election of the Board
> 
> As is it written in the statues, the Council meeting is suppossed to elect
> a new Board. All the council members are kindly invited to nominate
> candidates for the offices. All nominations must specify the particular
> post for which the candidate is being proposed (i.e. Chairperson,
> Vice-Chairperson, Treasurer or a Board Member without a special function).
> Each Ordinary  Member may nominate and support several candidates.
> 
> All nominations need to be sent in no later than one month before the
> meeting in accordance to the statutes. This means that the deadline for
> nominations is 25th of April 2017.
> 
> 
> The proposed statute changes
> 
> Our  working group on the statutes decided early on to do two versions of
> the new statutes; one slim version with only the minimal changes  required
> to move the association to Luxembourg and one more comprehensive version
> with the purpose of streamlining the organization and removing defunct
> paragraphs or unnecessary repetitions. The Council will then have to
> decide on which one of the two versions that the board has proposed it
> will proceed with.
> 
> The slim version will be found here.
> https://github.com/PPEU/wiki/wiki/Statutes-proposal-2.1
> 
> The comprehensive version can be found here.
> https://github.com/PPEU/wiki/wiki/Statutes---proposal-3.1
> 
> All the Council members are kindly invited to propose their own proposals
> for statues changes.
> 
> This is the draft agenda for the meeting:
> * Deadline for nominations for the Board (25th of April)
> * Deadline for statutes changes or other proposals (25th of April)
> * Opening of the meeting (25th of May)
> * Rules of procedure (25th-28th of May)
