lot of effort and a great deal of help from Iain Snee of Servas Canada and Claudio Pacchiega of Servas Italy. This
website is now ready to receive your visit and praise, wonder and constructive comments. Go there and check it out and

'''RE-ACTIVATING REGIONAL MEETINGS AND INITIATIVES'''

We haven’t had a European
summer university since Poland
in 2003. We think they’re a
wonderful way to meet one
another and indeed Pategonia
Youth 2006 was a great success.
Lets think where we could hold
the next European summer
university. Please contact Alex
There will be a Latin-American
meeting in July 2007 & is the
initiative of Argentina+
Brazil+Uruguay

Please contact Cynthia.

* Report of Exco and Governance workshop was presented to the general assembly.
* The GA voted to make a decision in principle that a statue amendment be drafted to establish a board for SI made of ECO officers, conveners of committees & representatives of national groups.
* The Youth Team presented their workshop report and motion to the GA who voted to send it back for clearer wording.

'''WORKSHOPS'''
Financial discussion: Money money! Where does it come from? Where does it go to? This led to good constructive discussions. Ideas from various countries were reviewed which produced balanced, concise motions for the GA to vote upon.

Host Lists: Areas were reviewed in particular - secure access and electronic host lists issues. The use of electronic host lists was very popular, however it must be realised that for some internet access is quite limited and problematic.

SI Officers: Who wants to be an SI officer? How should they be nominated? What qualification and experience should they have? In depth discussions resulted which helped turn some ideas into concrete motions to go be sent to the GA.

Mullai Pathy – Singapore and Jane Giffould – Britain.
