FFII General Assembly 2007

This page exists for historical purposes only. :-)

On the General Assembly, we elected a new board, who also had a meeting on Sunday.

More information about the meeting (e.g. the minutes) will be published as soon as possible. Please contact us if you have any questions.

30 Nov - 2 Dec 2007, Brussels

The General Assembly of 2007 is a three-day event open to all FFII members (both contributing / non-voting and active / voting can speak their mind). If you have any questions about the assembly or your membership, please contact us. See also our membership site.

Note: if you're not an active member (which is the case for most new FFII members) and think you should be, please notify the board and include appropriate references. The board will make recommendations to the General Assembly, who will then render decisions. Any member can speak at the GA, but only active members can vote.
