  1. How to finance. Ask for donations, become Founding Member at the cost of 30 Euro or similar

Agreed on asking members to be Founding Members of the association by donating 30 Euros (or same in other currency). We can have a Founding Members Page?

  1. Agreement with the program developers.  Do we own the program? When, after 1 year, 3 year?

Need to contact the computer company. This is Lottas field.

  1. Ongoing development of the TBE program.

Try to speed up. Reynard Franklin checks if he’s able to help

  1. Contact with Borzoi clubs, Associations and with IBC.

Make up a letter in several languages. Need a Logotype and a letterhead. Make a list of clubs. Ask our members in the group. The program will be presented at the IBC conference in August!

 

  1. Agreed to invite more members to the Encyclopedia group. Present people we want to invite to the TBE board. Perhaps we could be pragmatic and invite people from borzoi clubs and people that in other ways can be of help. We bear in mind that we don’t want to create any trouble by inviting people known to be difficult.
  2. We decided that we call for the next meeting when we have answers to some of our points!

Confirm that this protocol is correct
