Agenda Items

- Biketour: Do we want to do the project and apply for the grant? Background: We applied on Nov. 1, but the EC told us that there was no Nov. 1 deadline, so we apply February 1. Kamila is proposing that we not apply for the Biketour grant because of the late date, because we wouldn't know if we got the grant until it was too late to hire somebody to work on it and to get the Biketour started and together. We do not have enough money to advance it. This doesn't mean that the Biketour cannot happen, they can still do it without the grant. There would not be an EVS for next year for the biketour. Decision: We let the Biketour do the tour themselves in 2007 and we can consider it again for 2008; we can offer an EVS person, only under the condition that there will be someone to give him/her guidelines; however, since the earliest an EVS person can come is May 2007, the only way an EVS person could work on it would have to be associated with Biketour. We can also continue doing outreach via magazine and bulletin. We also would like the Biketour to ask if WCN can contribute in other ways. The other issue is how long does Roeland work here for: Kamila and Radka propose he is paid until the end of December
