Dear AEGEEeans, How are you?
 
After a Great Agora ( Thanks AEGEE Napoli!!!) , I came back home with head full of ideas but also with a big overview about the main & various problems of our Network  ( I suggest you to follow and to take part at the interesting discussion on the AEGEE L) and I got really motivated to continue the work with my Team in order to get some concrete results within the end of  April 2007 when I'll conclude my term as Netcommie at the Spring Agora Valletta ( Good luck guys!! It's Your time now...): We're just planning the next training courses, NetTrips, PR Campaigns etc...  so that in the future everyone of you will be aware about the importance of our lovely Association, the biggest European Student's FORUM.  Don't forget that me & the SubCommies  are here for YOU, don't hesitate to contact  us for ALL (my MSN contact is [log in to unmask]); I'm planning also to organize several mini-MSN meetings with board members of different locals ( at the top 5 everytimes) and with the SubCommies of reference in order to get a broad overview of our Network and to assure a strong approach with everyone of you, even if I prefer always to visit all of you as soon as possible.
 
On behalf of all the team I wish all the best to the new boards elected in this period pre & post AgoraFirenze, Salerno, Treviso, Maribor, Palermo & Cagliari  [don't forget to give communication of the new boards to the ABC team in order to update the Address Book - [log in to unmask] and also to the AEGEE L] and I invite all the new board members to subscribe to our L, to be informed about all the news and to increase the communication about Us, because we are strong if we are united and we are united only if we are in good contact with each others, in all the Network! The first step is always the same: get in touch with the neighbours!  
 
I really want to THANK YOU all the participants of the last Mini-Network Meeting organized during the Agora Napoli and I hope to receive the group-picture that we did at the end of that meeting; was a great pleasure to meet fresh & motivated members of several locals and to meet also a member from AEGEE Sarajevo, a local that I really look forwad to visit in the next six months of my term. I'm planning to organize some NetTrips to meet members of the Slovenian, Croatian locals and also Sarajevo but I really would like to taste the AEGEE spirit of everyone of you as during the last meeting....
 
UPDATES OF "OUR" NETWORK:
 
UPGRADE to Antenna: COSENZA ( they've organized a GREAT Network Meeting and now are planning the organization of their first SU! Congratulations!!), TIRANE ( new local of  our group, Welcome!! )
 
DELETE: Contact GENOVA
 
New Contact: VERCELLI (Now in TEAM Georgios)
 
No downgrades this time.
 
Perugia, Viterbo and Terni are going to send a motivation letter to become contact to the headoffice. Our Team is working to establish new contacts around all over area: besides Perugia, Terni & Viterbo, also Koper, Zadar, Banja Luka, Sassari, Campobasso and Potenza. We hope to get some important results. We're going to promote a new strong PR campaign supporting the new & weak locals and strenghting the existing ones.
 
 
*** Last but not least, as you know, at the Fall AGORA Napoli, some really important and historical  Network changes decided by the majority of the NetCom, to which we've introduced in the last six months and especially at the workshop during the Agora,  has taken effect;
 
Here the changes at a glance:
 
- Changing in the internal division of the locals  per Netcom TEAMs  according to the current needs of the Network. [ for instance TEAM + name Network Commissioner of reference] - look at the file on the attachment-
 
- Avoiding using the Regional Names ( Carpathia, Rainbow, Spirit etc...) [ there aren't more Regions]; so by now the former Rainbow Region is the Team Dino point of reference for a group of locals (36 Antennae, 1 Contact) , and this name will change with new Netcommies.   At the AGORA Napoli there was the first mini Network Meeting of the Team Dino.  
The NetCom is given the task by the CIA (Statutes of AEGEE-Europe), through its Working Format, to make such kind of regional distribution changes at a minimum period of every 6 months. Regions were a tool for Network Commissioners to work efficiently. Now there are group of locals assigned by the decision of the whole Network Commission in order to make the Network stronger and more effective. 
*** I have to respect the decision taken by the majority of the NetCom and work for all the Network to get the best.  I've decided to remain till Valletta2007  Netcommie to support and serve everyone of You and I've really appreciated your support  & enthusiasm till now during my trips for our work.
 
*** The next NETCOM MEETING ***
 will take place again in BRUXELLES,
 with the new Network Development Director Pedro Vieira ( from Lisboa)
between 7-10th DECEMBER.
New NetCom Speaker Team:
Speaker : Marek Urban - Vice Speaker: Georgios Toloumenidis
 
- Renaming the Regional Meetings to the Network Meetings, deciding upon common sessions for all of them. The first one organized for our group of locals was the Fall Netrok Meeting  in Cosenza [ NWM in Cosenza] ; now we're looking for an other local organizer the Spring Network Meeting  in March/April]  
 
- Synchronising the way of admistration of the "regional" mailing lists
 
- Creating the separate strategies for weak areas in the Network: UK, Ireland, France and Scandinavia.
 
ps: next trip - Firenze (17th-20th November)
 
AEGEEFULLY YOURS,
 
Dino
