• mobile phone - we found that we can use smart call for calling mobile phones at 5,90 minute
• Arie sent the EYF core cost administrative grant application and the youth programme grant for travel to Bogota
• Kamila sent the final report for Roeland's EVS
• Steven did not go to Berlin this week, but he will be going next thursday
• Vincent has mid-term evaluation meeting and will be away tomorrow and Friday
• March 3,4,5 for team building at Ondra's cottage
• WCN USA has held its elections for directors: They are Gus Yates, Brian Smith, and Sara Stout
• EVS conditions - we cannot put EVS costs to grant applications because EVS is already 100% covered

• The main reason for being WCN Europe is that we can get the DG Environment grant and it gives us official status as a Europe- wide network
• DO we need WCN International as well as WCN Europe?
• Arie believes this is important as an international network to have both WCN International and WCN Europe
• WCN International would receive fees from the other WCN groups
• Kamila raises the idea that it will be very difficult for us to handle both of these groups
• Arie: we could register WCN International somewhere other than in the Czech Republic, for example, with one of the steering committee members
• So, WCN International would be the steering committee, and WCN USA and WCN Europe would have their own projects and budgets
