  • Also should begin presence on environmental blogs.

DECISION: Tanja and Theo will cooperate on this.

6. Member Survey and Membership fees

  • Survey to gauge what members would like from the WCN, would be good accompaniment to requests for membership fees.

DECISION: Justin and Tanja will be working on membership fees. Justin and Tanja will draft a Members Survey.

7. Justin working from Budapest

  • Justin has requested that he remains permanently based in Budapest.

DECISION: Other ICC members respect and approve of this decision, however we would like increased communication between ICC and Justin e.g. online presence at ICC meetings, regular updates, working plans, regular hours of availability etc.

8. World Carfree Day

  • Need to discuss our level of involvement with WCFD. Current lack of resources allows limited involvement.

DECISION: ICC will ask the Carfree list how they would like us to be involved. Establish Carfree Day working group e.g. media work, press etc. There will also be reports in Carbusters 36. Could use issue 35 and existing online facilities for promotional purposes.\\
