Additional information to the agenda 41^st GAM

 

03          All delegates will be invited to briefly introduce themselves to the meeting: who is who in relation to
       the representation of their country’s organization. Please observe that the member
       associations/societies must send in the names of the delegates beforehand. Every member can be
       represented by two delegates, but every active member country has just one vote. An attendance list
       has to be signed by the delegates. Members may bring one guest (from their own country) at notice to
       the Council.

 

05    he title of the address by professor Anne Marie Kuipers-Jagtman is:
       Quality development of orthodontic specialist training programs in Europe: NEBEOP

06   As was stated in the minutes of last year’s EFOSA GAM: EFOSA should offer helping Serbia to solve
      the problems they seem to be facing; if then Serbia still continues the same relationship to EFOSA
      expelling Serbia should be on the agenda of the next GAM.       
   

      The GAM will discuss the situation that countries that fulfil the requirements becoming member of the
      EFOSA don’t apply for it.

07   Applications for membership have to be submitted to the Council at least 8 weeks prior to the annual
      Assembly Meeting.

 

08   The draft of the Minutes of the 40^th meeting is available on the website.

 

09    The Semi-annual report was sent to the members in January 2010 and is available on  

       the website (still on the billboard).

 

12    Additional information concerning EFOSA’s financial status will be available on EFOSA’s website
       (www.efosa.eu) in due time before the meeting  (name= member; password= europe).

 

17          Changes in the Bylaws (proposal from the Council):
       Bylaws 2.5 says that a roster will be formed to re-elect or replace one Councillor every year. Because
       there are five councillors this must be changed to “re-elect or replace one or two”.

      
       The GAM is going to elect 4 delegates as Council members for 4 years in the next point. It is necessary
       to find a solution that a roster will be created according to the Bylaws 2.5.

 

       Bylaws 3.4.2 is not according the Constitution article 10: ‘Member’ should be added as a fifth Council
       member.

 

18         The Nomination Committee proposes the candidates that have fulfilled all requirements asked for in the
       Bylaws article 3.3.3:

       President:         Alexandros Kokkas, Greece
       Vice-President:  Bart Vande Vannet, Belgium
       Secretary:        Julian O’Neill, UK
       Treasurer:        Christian Scherer, Germany
       (the term of Council Member Milan Kaminek, Czech Republic, has not yet ended)

       According to the Bylaws 3.3.6 Active members have the right to propose candidates until three weeks
       prior to the Assembly Meeting. Such a proposal is only valid regarding a candidate for a Council position
       if it includes the written statement of willingness to accept a nomination and the letter of support of
       the National Association or Group. The Secretary will inform the delegates about such a proposal, at

       least two weeks prior to the Assembly Meeting.
