The discussion was started after checking the quorum and approval of the Agenda points. Three applications for becoming members of EURAPAG – from two countries – Cyprus and United Kingdom and from one individual - Dr. Ines Vaz from Portugal have been accepted unanimously. A decision has been taken to suspend the membership of Kazakhstan’s Society that did not pay the membership fees, moreover they did not reply to any of our e-mails. A question was raised about the expected membership of the Swiss society. As up to that moment no information was arrived. Prof. J. Horejsi agreed to ask in written the President of the Swiss Society and their position on that issue. Finland has expressed orally a desire to be a member at EURAPAG but up to now no official submission has been arrived. As no reply from their site was registered, new contact details should be found in order to renew the correspondence with them. In spite of the orally expressed by Prof Sultan intention of France to join EURAPAG, no application arrived up to now as well as no reply to our emails came from their site. Moreover no information is available on the future World Congress in Montpelier to be held in 2010. A contact should be re-established with Mrs. Elisabeth Tibaut.

Some amendments of the EURAPAG Statute are foreseen and they should be submitted for discussion at the next Board meeting. The suggestions for amending the Statute, provided by Dan Apter did not been approved due to their late arrival.
