Proposals #5: NetCom Assistants, Envoys and former CD

Here are some proposals concerning the type of members of the Agora which will be made in the Agora Bergamo, denominated “Changing the participant type of Network Commission Assistants at Agora”, “Number of Envoys for Statutory Events”, “Sending former Comite Directeur members as envoys after the end of their term”.

Changing the participant type of Network Commission Assistants at Agoraagora1

Tekla Hajdu, Hanna Alajõe and Mareike Wegener, on behalf of Network Commission, have made a proposal about the role of its Commission Assistants. Currently, NetCom Assistants do not have speaking rights, which, according to the proposers, prevent them from taking part in the internal work of Network Commission during Agora for instance, they cannot represent their locals properly if Chair Team does not grant them speaking rights.
Instead, other Assistants can apply as envoy, such as CD Assistants, who are not elected either, but appointed. According to the proposers, envoys should be not only the members of the Commissions of AEGEE-Europe, but also the Assistants of the same Commissions, integrating the article 3 of the section “Working format of the Agora”.

Number of Envoys for Statutory Events

Lucia Gavulová and Philipp Blum, on behalf of SUCT, have submitted a proposal about the number of Envoys for Statutory Events. As the Summer University Coordination Team is elected by the Agora, they think they should have the right to send all their members as envoys to statutory events. However, since every project can only send three envoys, one member of the SUCT is left out. Since the team works closely together for many months, the proposers think it is not fair for one member not to represent the project. Since questions may be asked for different foto treresponsibilities of the team, the member responsible should be allowed to explain them on behalf of SUCT.

 Sending former Comite Directeur members as envoys after the end of their term

Aleksandra Kluczka, on behalf of Comite Directeur, has submitted a proposal about sending former CD members at Agorae. The former Comité Directeur that finishes its term on the 31st of July is obliged to present their Activity Report and Financial Report during the
following Autumn Agora in order to have it voted upon by the Agora. At the moment, the former Comité Directeur members that attend an Agora are assigned with the status of a visitor. With this proposal, the former Comité Directeur would be given the chance to attend the first Autumn Agora after their term have finished with the status of an envoy.  One of the main motivation behind it is to allow former CD members to actively participate in discussion, especially those that involve projects started during their term.
