Dear friends,
I will summarize in this report only the decisions taken in the working group on the ‘Charter of principles of another Europe’, and give the list of seminars, controversial tables, the initial assembly and the final meeting. The email addresses belong to those people in charge of the contacts and the organization of the activity.
I remind you all that every organization should contribute to the cost of the seminars, 300 euros that should be divided.
1. We decided to rearrange the Charter in order to avoid misunderstandings on the goals of the process. We do not want to write a Constitution, but only to write down our common principles, which are in sharp contrast with those of the European neoliberal elites. In order to achieve this clarification we decided to specify the title, which now will be: The Charter of our common principles of another Europe.
By rearranging the material, so as to avoid repetition and to divide the subjects between the first and second part, we should cancel all references to a constitutional design.
2. A group was put in charge of the rearrangement: Bolini, Klein, Gauthier, Gabriel, Endre, Almpanis, Golemis, Lekeu, Russo. It’s obvious that everyone can participate to the rearranging process by sending proposals, amendments etc.
3. The process will not end in Athens, where we will have an initial assembly so as to present the Charter and its process, and a final meeting in which we can collect the results of the seminars and the controversial table in order to correct, add to the Charter, etc.
We will ask the Greek committee to hold the assembly on Thursday 4th in the morning, and the final meeting on Saturday 6th , or on Friday 5th in the afternoon.
In the final meeting, we will discuss the next steps of the process and we will decide the location of the next Assembly on the Charter in Brussels or in Paris next winter.

In my opinion, every ‘contact person’ should
i) check the list of seminars of the controversial tables on the website (www.fse-esf.org ) and find similar proposals;
ii) contact the other organizers (‘contact persons’)
iii) try to reach a consensus on the participation in ‘our’ seminar or controversial table, or merge the different proposals into one
iv) inform the Greek committee ( merger athens.fse-esf.org ) on the decision taken and register the new seminar or controversial table;
v) pay the fee, divided among the different organization
