Dear EUROTAS Delegates and friends of EUROTAS, Attached are the draft minutes of the Bad Kissingen meeting and the final revised Constitution and Bylaws. Please let the Board through me have any amendments or additions by the end of August. If we do not hear from you we will assume you are in agreement with them. Please note the attachments should be readable and will print out well. We have also put them in this email incase you cant read them as attachments, but they are less well printed. Please acknowledge receipt as it helps us to keep up to date and know how you receive them. Next week John will send you the next newsletter and in future all of these notes will be on our web page (http://www.eurotas.org) as well as sent by email. Do have a look at it, Christopher Hall has done a wonderful job for us and Frank Visser as the web master and Beata Bishop as Editor will keep it up to date, provided that you give them the material. More about this later. Hope you have a wonderful Summer and that you have the dates of 10-13 May 2001 firmly in your diaries for our meeting at the Institut de L'Europe in Luxembourg next year. As ever John, Kirsten, Kati, Evgueny, Mario, Pia
The Board of EUROTAS Minutes of the EUROTAS Delegate Council Meeting at Bad Kissingen 25-28 May 2000 The Choir of the Klinik patients welcomed us with some moving songs and Joachim Galuska, the Director of the Heiligenfeld Klinic introduced us to his staff and the working of the Klinik. John Drew began by thanking Joachim and his staff for hosting the meeting and for their warm welcome to us all.
1 Minutes of the last Meeting at Dobogoke were approved.
2. Constitution and Bylaws Amendments. The minor amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws were approved unanimously. The Constitution and Bylaws as amended are attached.
3. Applications to join EUROTAS a) Wilfried Belschner presented the DTKP application in a very professional and wide ranging manner. The application was approved unanimously. b) The President noted the interest of the Psychosynthesis and Education Trust in joining EUROTAS and Beata Bishop gave background details of its activities. It was agreed that an application to join would be welcomed. c) SEN Germany was carefully and interestingly introduced by Pieter Loomans and its impressive activities explained. It was agreed unanimously to invite SEN Germany to join even though its application should formally have been received earlier and circulated to Delegates. The criteria for membership of EUROTAS was discussed. The Board agreed to review this for the next meeting. While it was agreed that the criteria should be as wide as possible to encourage membership and multiple membership from any country as was agreed at Dobogoke, clear guidelines were required. This was particularly important for very small and perhaps new organisations and for those organisations which while perhaps important in themselves, might not fall clearly under the general title of transpersonal activity. It was agreed that Rumold Mol, Pia Keiding and Dan Sercar would consult on this and put forward a note to the Board prior to the next EUROTAS meeting so that an effective proposal could be put to the Delegate Council. 4. The Board and Officers of EUROTAS It was noted that there were no vacancies, nor applications to join the Board this year. The President reminded delegates of the need to consider candidates for membership of the Board in advance of next years' meeting when The President, the Vice President, The Treasurer, Mario Simoes as a Board Member and the post of Director of Research would need to be voted on. Pia Keiding and Evgueny Faydich will have served for two years and their posts as Board Members would not be up for election until 2002. The President asked for nominations well in advance of next year. We are a small organisation and we need to look to succession planning and for a smooth take-over of responsibilities. 5. Treasurer's Report and 2001 subscription Katy Orosz presented the accounts and explained that there was a surplus for the year of about $1500 which was due to the fact that many expenses which could have been incurred, in particular the setting up of the Web site by Christopher Hall, had not been claimed. This might not be so in future years. She proposed the subscription for 2000-2001 should remain the same at Euros 120 . This was agreed unanimously.The President thanked her on behalf of EUROTAS Delegates for support.
6. Creative Initiative Meeting and EUROTAS Council Meeting 2001. There was discussion about time and place. It was agreed to welcome the invitation of Luxembourg to host the 2001 meeting and of Portugal to host the 2002 meeting. It was agreed that it would be better to have the meeting in May or June as August and July were often holiday periods. ( PLEASE NOTE AS a result of Rumold MOL's meeting with the Luxembourg team, it has been agreed that the next meeting of the Creative Initiative and the EUROTAS Delegates Council will take place at the Maison de L'Europe in Luxembourg. from the evening of Wednesday 10 May until the morning of Sunday 13 May.2001. Thanks to Alfred Groff and Margaret Frosch for this.) While these dates are not convenient to everyone, it was felt by the Board that it was better to take dates on offer rather than get back to members with second choices and Delegates had said that July and August often gave difficulties being a holiday period.. 7. Any Other Business The work of Christopher Hall who had set up the EUROTAS web site was welcomed with enthusiasm. It was noted that Frank Visser who is very experienced and qualified in computer technology had agreed to take over managerial and day to day development of the Web Site from Christopher and that Beata Bishop, a former BBC editor had agreed to be the Website Editorwith support from the President.
