The General Assembly has approved Frank Alleweldt’s (CIVIC 25) membership to the Executive Board representing WP 14 as Co-leader.
As stated in the Consortium Agreement (6.3.1.2), the General Assembly must vote on the appointment of Executive Board members, and since the WP Leaders and Co-leaders are Executive Board members, the General Assembly must approve of any replacement.
The Coordinator and Co-Coordinator have been notified by Pieter van Baal (EUR 22) that Nicolas McSpedden-Brown (WP 14 Co-leader) does not work at Civic Consulting anymore.
