Just like we did for the last two Agorae (namely Spring Agora Patra and Autumn Agora Cagliari) this year again we want to provide you with a short and easy summary of the proposals submitted for Spring Agorasturias. In this first round, we will be explaining you three proposals that are aimed at improving the CIA, namely \u2018Improving the CIA one step at the time (6): Fixing small mistakes\u2019, \u2018Improving the CIA one step at the time (7): Charter of Honorary Members\u2019 and \u2018Abolir le fran\u00e7ais en tant que seconde langue officielle de l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale et des statuts des sections locales\u2019.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now you may wonder: \u201cWhat is this CIA you are talking about? Is AEGEE-Europe secretly American?\u201d Simply said, the CIA (Corpus Iuridicum Aegeense) is a document with over a hundred pages containing all the rules which govern AEGEE-Europe. It is\u00a0therefore\u00a0considered as the legal framework of the Association, and all members are obliged to follow its provisions. Although no secret agents are involved in it, it is one of the most important documents. In the CIA, which you can read\u00a0here<\/a>, you can find for example the Statutes of AEGEE-Europe, the Working Formats of the different bodies and all kind of rules (General Rules, Rules of the Network Commission, Antennae Criteria, etc.).<\/p>\n

Now that we know what the changes are about, we can continue to see which ones they actually are! The first two, \u2018Improving the CIA one step at the time (6) and (7)\u2019 were submitted by Joris Veenhuis, Claudio Gennaro and Gl\u00f2ria Llopart on behalf of the Juridical Commission and aim \u2013 as the name already suggest \u2013 to improve the CIA one step at a time. The first one, \u2018Fixing small mistakes\u2019, does so by fixing some mistakes that sneaked in over the years and clarifying the Organs of AEGEE-Europe. With this, you can think about mistakes like the wrong article number referred to due to other changes having been made over the years and some unclear things, like the difference between \u2018ordinary members\u2019 and \u2018honorary members\u2019. You can find all the changes and the reasons for them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The second proposal, \u2018Charter of Honorary Members\u2019, aims at improving the Charter of Honorary Members, because there turned out to be some questions about it. This proposal doesn\u2019t really affect the content of the Charter, but does try to make it easier to read and understand. The Juridical Commission has also tried to make the Charter a bit smaller by removing some things that don\u2019t really have to be regulated, like the administrative responsibility of the award. The exact changes to achieve an easier to understand Charter of Honorary Members can be found here.<\/a><\/p>\n

The third proposal, \u2018Abolir le fran\u00e7ais en tant que seconde langue officielle de l\u2019Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale et des statuts des sections locales\u2019, is submitted by L\u00e9a Charlet (Policy Officer on Gender Equality) and Paul Smits (Comit\u00e9 Directeur). It\u2019s written in French to emphasize its aim, namely abolishing French as the official second language of AEGEE-Europe. When reading the CIA, you may notice that at the end of it there is also a translated version in French, and at several points in the CIA you\u00a0 may find French being mentioned as an alternative language for English, for example as the official language of the Agora. Antennae and Working Groups also have to provide a copy of their statutes in English or French, which the proposers think is not necessary. They therefore propose to delete French as the second official language of AEGEE-Europe. All changes made to achieve that, can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
