The General Assembly has approved of Constance Schultsz’s (AMC 13) membership to the Executive Board representing WP 3/6 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 were notified by Menno de Jong (AMC 13) that due to work commitments, he will not be able to devote as much time to COMPARE as needed by a WP Co-leader. He will still participate in the project.
