Agenda EBM Delft 2008	Created: 15.12.2007 21:01:40; modified: 15.12.2007 21:06:49
Dear Network, The Chair Team has been working pretty much in these past weeks to provide you all a substantive agenda for the next European Boards’ Meeting in Delft in February 2008. Unfortunately, in the past years, the EBM has left the participants and AEGEE feeling weaker, unmotivated and out of scope as reflected in the recent discussions on AEGEE-L. There is a great need and demand for restoring focus and to start working constructively together. In view of all these things, the EBM AGENDA is totally new and innovative as it gives space to discussions and debates as well as inclusive because it requires the full active participation of all AEGEE Bodies. In addition, on Monday, we will also be posting a GUIDE TO THE EBM so that all those of you who are thinking of coming to the EBM Delft, you are already aware of the things awaiting you  Naturally, the Chair Team will continue to work in an open and transparent manner by informing you all about what is happening with the Statutory Meetings of AEGEE-Europe, so please keep checking out this corner!

This last Sunday, one lady and three gentlemen (i.e. the Chairperson Alexianne, the Vice-Chair Wouter, the Secretary for the Agora and EBM, Giorgios and the Secretary-General of AEGEE-Europe Vincent) met up to discuss further how to address better the ever-increasing challenges and demands that are arising within AEGEE particularly as regards the EBM since in the past two Agorae (Spring Agora Valletta + Autumn Agora Eskisehir), the EBM Working Format has considerably changed. What is the outcome? We are striving for MORE … in terms of quality, results, discussions and much more than that. In fact, you will also notice that the EBM Agenda has been completely reinvented to give more space for discussions in-depth analysis on the issues that are close to our focus, to our AEGEE. What about the Workshops at the EBM? As provided in the CIA, there are two types of Workshops – a long workshop session of 8hours and a short workshop session of 4hours. In accordance to the CIA, workshop leaders at an EBM are entitled to partial travel reimbursement. In the selection of the Workshops, the Chair Team will be very attentive to give the space for the ideas that need further discussion and that can contribute to a more constructive AEGEE. This means that we will go for QUALITY as opposed to quantity. In fact, we call on each one of you to submit concrete workshops proposals. Deadline for all WS Proposals is 22nd December 2007 at 23.59hrs Brussels time.

Agora Eskisehir Chronicles - Day 1	Created: 02.11.2007 19:28:43
Dearest Network, As you all know, the Autumn Agora Eskisehir has just started and us the cherries behind the tables thought well of providing you with updates of what is happening in Eskisehir… >> Thursday night AEGEE Eskisehir prepared for all of us an impressive Official Opening Ceremony with a good dose of various different performances starting from a local dance to an instrumental quartet play to having all the organisers dancing on stage… following that, off we went to a party. >> Friday Merhaba and the hammer went down to announce the Opening of the Autumn Agora with the presentation of AEGEE Identity and a much improved Attendance List (yes, alexianne did her pronunciation classes during summer). The Activity Report of the Comite Directeur was presented and naturally, there was a series of questions (more details from the minutes). In addition, participants could also hear about the Results of the Project Development Meeting and following that, we also had the procedure of how it will work on the selection of the Flagship Project 2008/09. Then off to the Prytania and Workshop Sessions. Last minute, the Proposal on the Financial Year was dropped by its own proposer Tim Klifman and hence, we needed to quickly change the Agenda and make two prytanias – the Comite Directeur and the Fees Proposals. One small bite from here – the Comite Directeur Prytanium was so active with questions, discussions and deliberations that we all decided to continue our talks during the WS Session II. About the recommendations… erm… you wait until you see the minutes! Right now, we are towards the end of the evening plenary chaired by Annika… it’s the time of lots of activities reports, quite some questions…and believe us, no commission, no liaison agent and officer, no working group and any other body was left without queries… Oh and it appears that Wim can be also an IT blondie since some presentations took a little while to take off – hehe… So, yes, it looks like the curiosity factor in Eskisehir is very high! Meanwhile, there are a number of posts which are still open for candidatures, so if inspiration is hitting you, you can simply apply immediately to the Juridical Commission UNTIL tomorrow 9am. Of course, the Chair Team is willing to accept any candidatures presentations on the following email - statutory.presentationsATgmail.com Stay tuned for tomorrow cos more gossips from the night is coming, Alexianne + Annika + Wim + Georgios

Send in your PRESENTATIONS for the Agora!!! - Deadline October 25th!	Created: 16.10.2007 17:41:34
As the Agora is getting closer and closer, and people already started preparing all their presentations, we hereby inform you about the procedure of handing in the presentations. Please keep in mind that all digital presentations (movies, ppts) should be send to the chair *in advance*. The deadline for this is Thursday October 25, at 23h59 CEST. Presentations handed in after this deadline might not be shown at the Agora. We need this time to be able to check them so in the plenary when you need them, they will work properly. The only exception to this deadline is made for presentations about the results of prytania and workshops as well as last minute candidatures. If you have any kind of presentation, please read the procedure below carefully. *Content* If your presentation is about an event remember we will accept *only future events*. The further, presentations related to projects and other conferences will have a precedence on fun oriented events. If your presentation is about a candidature/AR/anything else this email is valid also for you!! *Deadline* 25th October 2007 (exceptions are made ONLY for last minute candidates or Prytania/Workshop results). It means that if you don't send us the presentation by this deadline you will not be able to show it at the Agora. This rule has been thought in order to give us the chance to check all presentations beforehand and make them run properly there so that we are all happy :) After we have received your presentation we will check it and upload it to our computers where it will be stored till the Agora. You will be informed of the results of our check, in any case, whether a further intervention from you is needed or not. *Time limit (eventual speech included)* Future event presentations: 2 minutes; Candidatures: 3 minutes; CD candidatures (treasurer and secretary included): 5 minutes; President of AEGEE-Europe: 7 minutes. *Upload* First of all please write us the following: - title of presentation; - type: future event, activity report, candidature for ...., project presentation, proposals (prytania), signing local presentation (choose one); - local/body; - name of the person presenting it; - speech included: no, before presentation, after presentation (choose one). If the file is not bigger than 10MB (8MB attachment) you can send it to statutory.presentations[at)gmail.com and we will be happy to check whether it runs properly. Bigger files should be uploaded somewhere on an FTP/HTTP server if people have, otherwise, we suggest to you http://www.drivehq.com/. This is what some people already used in the past, and worked fine. Links to Youtube do not work, as we cannot get the files out of it, only view them online. It is important that after the upload you send an email to statutory.presentations[at)gmail.com with the link where the presentation can be downloaded from, and that you do it *within the deadline*! Of course you also here have to include all the information requested above. *Files with music* If your file contains music *make sure* music and video do not have to be started separately. With PPTs it is important the music is saved in the same directory as your presentation when you insert it into the PPT, otherwise it will not work (so, first put the file in the same directory, and only afterwards insert it into your PPT). Make sure you both send the PPT and the music files, as the music is not in the PPT itself. *Especially for last minute candidatures, WS/Prytania results* Please hand them in to Wim as soon as possible at the Agora in the form of a CD-Rom with a label stating the topic of your presentation, the title of WS/Prytanium, and your name. Make sure there are only the files for your presentation on it, and not your whole life as you don't want your private pictures to appear on the beamer. If you want your CDROMs/USBs back, approach the chair table *after* a plenary. *For act on stage/performance/monologue/confession* If, instead of showing a movie or PPT, you want to perform something or make a speach, also tell us in advance, within the deadline, by sending an email to statutory.presentations[at)gmail.com. We would like to encourage your creativity, and would really appreciate to see how AEGEE members can open their minds to do something which will impress us and stay in our memories for long! Of course, time limits for the presentation are the same! Be aware of the fact that in case the presentation does not comply with the rules the Chair team reserves the right to reject it; however, we rely on your kind cooperation and understanding in reading carefully and respecting the above written rules.

What happens in an Agora?	Created: 24.09.2007 23:07:33
In a couple of weeks, hundreds of AEGEE members will be getting together in Eskisehir for the AUTUMN AGORA 2007 – but the question remains, what happens in an AGORA? Just like in Ancient Greece times where an Agora was the open market public place which constituted the political, civic and commercial heart of the city, the Agora is the General Assembly and the main decision-making organ of AEGEE-Europe. Basically, the Agora starts on Thursday and finishes on Sunday where the participants have the opportunity to debate, discuss and decide on the most pertinent issues of the association, ranging from AEGEE projects to the Action Plans as well as the evaluation of the Activity Reports of the constituent bodies of the association as well as the Elections to hold a post within the European level of AEGEE. All this is needed for the smooth running of an association like AEGEE which is considerably extensive and is always moving ahead in its projections for the future. Essentially, one can mention the following: 1. PLENARY SESSIONS In an Agora, there are several plenary sessions as this is the place where important issues that are of a common interest to each and every participant are presented and discussed. During plenary sessions, there are a number of things which are presented such as Activity Reports of the main constituent bodies of AEGEE-Europe, Proposals as well as Candidatures. In these sessions, delegates and envoys (visitors need to ask for speaking rights to the Chairperson) have the possibility to either make questions or draw observations upon any defined issue being presented. This is also the place where the association welcomes new additions to the family – prepare yourself for the festive atmosphere! Finally, there is also voting sessions within the plenary for Reports, Proposals and Candidatures – so it is crucial that the delegates have their ballot papers so you will be able to cast your votes! 2. PRYTANIUM This is the place where delegates and other interested participants need to attend so as to discuss in-depth the proposals for this Agora. Normally, these Proposals are for the modifications of the Statutes and Working Formats. Usually there are more than one prytanium taking place simultaneously and therefore, each antenna must sent one delegate to attend in order to raise the voice of the local during the discussion and at the voting session happening within the Prytanium. Basically, the Prytanium is like a small plenary. The presenter of the proposal explains the idea and motivation behind such proposal and to whom all the delegates and interested participants can ask questions, express their opinion and finally vote upon it in a roll-call. This voting result is a recommendation that is presented during the plenary session where the final decision is taken by all voting bodies. 3. WORKSHOPS Workshops represent the thematic development of AEGEE. They tackle a wide variety of subjects yet each have a direct link to the main fields of action of the association. The Strategic Plan of AEGEE-Europe as well as the Action Agenda feature prominently in such Workshops. The workshop sessions at the Agora are certainly the place to be if you want to explore more about a current or planned Project, a Working Group, a current theme within our Network and… the list is endless… 4. VOTING SESSIONS As the main decision-making organ of the association, the Agora decides upon reports, proposals and candidates. Fundamentally, there are THREE different ways how you can express your opinion and these are normally happening throughout the entire Agenda: A. VOTE BY ACCLAMATION - This is normally used for the ratification of the minutes of the previous Statutory Meeting and for the Agenda. Unless there is an objection, the audience is asked to ratify the specific issue by clapping. B. VOTE BY ROLL-CALL – This means that the Chairperson calls all the voting bodies who need to state their votes in favour, against or abstention in public. In a roll-call voting session happening in the plenary, every antenna has the same amount as votes as those given during the registration (which is regulated according to the number of members). In a prytanium roll-call, every Antenna or AEGEE Working Group has one single vote as this is an indicative voting session. C. VOTE BY BALLOT PAPERS – During Registration, the Juridical Commission hands in the ballot papers to each Antenna and AEGEE Working Group. These are worked in accordance to the amount of members that the entity has as provided in the Statutes of AEGEE-Europe. Before every voting session, the Juridical Commission will be explaining in detail the procedure. 5. SOCIAL PROGRAMME & NETWORKING Naturally, having hundreds of AEGEE members in one place, it is inevitable that the Agora is a true social hub for the entire association. In fact, besides the above-mentioned parts of the Agora programme, the Agenda reserves quite some time for other meetings to take place such those reserved to the Network Commission, Project Teams and Working Groups, just to mention a few. There are other occasions where one has the chance to meet face-to-face to discuss some internal matters, create new collaborations and so much more than that… This can also be done during the impressive parties and social programme that the Agora local organisers prepare which makes the overall experience of attending an Agora, a truly incredible experience. Of course… there are more things to tell about the Agora … so if you’re still curious, email us on chair[AT]aegee[DOT]org AND do not forget to attend the AGORA SPEED COURSE happening directly in Eskisehir on THURSDAY 1st November!!!

Chair Team – who’s who and what do we do?	Created: 28.08.2007 23:30:54; modified: 29.08.2007 12:16:59
The Chair Team has quite a crucial role within the Statutory Meetings of AEGEE-Europe. In fact, the Chairperson with the great help of its team presides over the Agoras and the European Boards’ Meeting. This involves the organisation and execution of the agenda set in co-operation with the constituent bodies of the association whilst following closely the provisions of the Corpvs Ivridicvm Aegeense (CIA). Exercising this role with efficiency, impartiality and independence, the Chair opens, suspends and adjourns the meeting and does not participate in the discussion of motions. The entire Chair Team is composed of four people: the Chairperson, the Vice-Chair, the Secretary of the Agora and the IT Technician. Chairperson Name: Alexianne Galea Antenna: AEGEE Valletta Message: There’s so much enthusiasm, hard work, motivation and strong commitment from so many people that it’s a pity to keep all these positive vibes within out Team only… so, we thought of sharing them with you all. Keep watching out this corner as soon enough, it’ll get sweeter and cheerful just like the chairy cherries that we aim to represent : -) AND… I have taken the big challenge to learn the right pronunciation for all the locals coming to the agora…. – it’s a promise! Vice Chair Name: Annika Stienen Antenna: AEGEE Osnabruck Message: WELCOME to our Chair's message board! Being one of the newcomers in the Chair Team, I'm telling you: It's amazing!!! All the coordination that's going on long before the Agora starts, all the traditional procedures combined with some open brainstorming on how to make the next Agora a special one - and especially the joyful emails we get from the local people in Eskisehir, who display an incredible motivation in realizing this huge event! We'd love to share some of this with you, and we're ready to reply to all the questions that you might have. See you soon in Eskisehir! Secretary of the Agora Name: Georgios Touloumenidis Antenna: AEGEE Stuttgart Message: Heyho! Finally we can personally welcome you and assist you during the application phase for the AGORA-Eskisehir 2007. Follow our path on this news corner and you will definitely find the gym :-) And at the AGORA? Enjoy Touloumbaki for the first time present but NOT speaking! It's a real challenge for me but I am very much looking forward to transfer your spoken words on my paper. Whatever you say, ask, answer, do and think behind the micro on the stage: I will archive it for the whole life of AEGEE. So, be nice to me folks and speak slowly! IT Technician Name: Wim van Ravesteijn Antenna: AEGEE Enschede Message: As being both the IT technician at the Agora, but also the webmaster of the applications, works starts around the same time as for the rest of the chair team. Every Agora some improvements have to be made to the applications, to suit the new needs put up by the chair team and local organizers. Then, a few weeks before the Agora the work of collecting the presentations starts, and I can already start enjoy watching the movies made. During the Agora there is still a lot of stress, as there is unfortunately still many people not able to respect the deadlines of handing in the presentations. This unfortunately sometimes results in non-working presentations... Chairy cherry greetings, Alexianne + Annika + Georgios + Wim
