Deadline for dossier VG is 1 october
Q: What are our feelings about doing the same system as for 2010 - 2013?
Nicolas thinks those meetings were important because we were involving the members more deeply. For a while it was easier to work with them.
Mixed feelings about starting up work groups
Peter: work groups are more hands-on meetings (ex Samedies....)
--> work moments with the members: was more discussion on text we wrote, we discussed our content with them -> important: we wrote + translated all the text before (is good motivation to clarify)
--> We should rethink expectations of the meeting, what do we expect to come out
Also would like to discuss basic: what exactly does it mean 'being a member of Constant', is stgh different than work groups. Does not want to make a formal text to 'impress' our members. A lot of the people who engaged before, were not members at that moment.
Wendy: does not function well in meetings in big groups
An: difference between ALV - AG and the thematic meetings.
Important considerations:
* Size of meetings. (8 persons worked, 15 did not work at all)
* Result was mainly an Energy that we got out of it. Present our thinking and associate on it.
--> **We meet 31 january 17.00 and have a 'future of constant' dinner in Molenbeek.

17-3-2011 at 18h-18h30
