Items

1. Bank Transfers
2. Internal WCD evaluation
3. Sam's work plan for October
4. Conference coordination/contact person at the ICC

1. Bank Transfers
Theo contacted Radka concerning Bank Transfers. These cost us. Maybe we should introduce a policy for bank transfers to a minimum value. 100 EUR and above is most efficient amount.
Decision: We no longer accept bank transfers from EURO accounts below 100 EUR. This needs to be updated on the website + magazine. Chris will do this.

2. Internal WCD Evaluation
Decision: WCFD evaluation meeting scheduled for Wednesday 15th at 3pm.

3. Sam's work plan for October
Decision: According to Sam's proposal they will hire Sam for the month of October. Proposal Briefly: Magazine, How-to-guide, CB web updates, Distribution, Future Capital. Sam will forward detailed document to anyone interested.

4. Conference Coordination/contact person at ICC
Tanja suggests creating plan, contact person position within in the ICC. Theo/EVS will help, but EVS will all be leaving January, so it will be passed on to next.

Decision: Theo will help, further discussions later.\\
