1. Office computers - place of files

Randy proposes that Friendly could host 'Office A' and Funky could host 'Office B'
Then under each would be specific things, not to be duplicated between each other.
we shouldn't put work-related stuff in our personal files
Steven and Kamila will arrange the place of files

2. EVS volunteer November 1?

Kamila says that Randy was supposed to be in charge of getting the applications together, and only after discussing with everybody the best candidates would Kamila pursue it when she got back.
Now, Kamila does actually have one good candidate and she will interview him. If she really hurries, she may be able to get the application done by Nov. 1. Anyone interested in reviewing this application should talk to Kamila.
We need to make sure that Randy hasn't promised someone else the application before Kamila does this other application.

3. Roeland's tasks and hours

Current tasks: Biketour preparations, biketour application for 2007 (Nov 1), Biketour 2006 final report (Nov. 20),
For the November meeting we will talk more about where the money for Roeland's salary will come from (core vs biketour grant); if it is from core, what should his responsibilities be according to network priorities; how should the work be distributed in the office according to priorities and also according to income coming into the office
how do we deal with accountability issues in the office?
can we come up with a system to keep track of people's tasks and hours?

4. EU training and funding seminar in Brussels

this would be good for the new fundraiser Christi to go to, but we will have to be careful with funding
it would be an overnight bus, plus one night in Brussels
we agree she should go

5. November 3 action

It is the day before International Day of Action Against Climate Change
Greenpeace is asking for us to support their demonstration
Steven and Arie will be the contact people I know it
