'''1. Autoholics Anonymous (logo) & British Funders '''
* AA has some money, but it needs more (even a staff person in the UK)
* Arie has found possible funders, but they need a British charity to go through in order for us to get the money
* This staff person would operate the project, do outreach, and be a press spokesperson
* Anna Semylen could be that staff person
* We already have a timeline from Network for Social Change grant
* By May, much of the project should be up and running
* Should Arie be applying for grants for this? Do we have the capacity to handle it?
* Then money we have now is just the basics to set it up
* Arie needs more details in terms of what we need the funding for and for how much


'''2. Associate Member of Municipalites for Sustainable Development (ICLEI)?'''
* Should we become an associate member who are not municipalities
* Why? They provide information about grants to members, good networking possibility
* It would cost US$200 or 350/per year depending on Czech's gross national income
* we could put in a general query on the listserve to see if members have had experiences with it
* Randy suggests contacting Jason (who used to work at ICLEI)
* The steering committee will propose at the AGM that they are responsible for deciding which organisations WCN joins/endorses


'''3. Telephone and Internet'''
* We are currently spending 800kc/month to have separate fax line which is not used much
* We will have fax with telephone line
* Internet currently costs 1600kc/month
* We can get DSL internet at a good speed for 800kc/month
* Everyone agrees on these above decisions


'''4. Strategic Plan'''
* What is the progress on it?
* Arie hopes that it can be reviewed and be ready for Tabor in May
* Randy says it is complex but will be done
