AGENDA

1. Fundraising - 10 ways to help WCN Christi: it was in World Carfree News, but there is also a link on the website, we should put something on the homepage of the website. Are there other possibilities?

Steven: Send out a call to former North American subscribers to become members of World Carfree Network, offering them the Cutting Your Car Use book along with a subscription; to former UK subscribers we can also send a call out for Autoholics Anonymous

We could have a presentation for the International School.

Randy: It could be based on the charter, with pictures, facts and figures and some videos

Steven: It could be a minor Visegrad Project; I will talk to Daniel about it

2. Getting media attention Christi: We should be quoted in the Guardian hopefully; in getting media attention you need to get to the right reporters; if we see carfree articles we should keep in mind who the reporter and publication are, and then we can target them directly

3. Magazine Text deadline: February 15

Christi: She finished the studies, but if anybody comes across any new studies than they should be sent to him

Bas: Nobody is doing car cult review right now, so we need somebody to be working on it

Randy: I will look for some car cult review stuff. Resources will be similar to last time, Randy would like to get Chris Balish's book in the Resource Centre, but we do not have much money for this.
