FINANCIAL ISSUES
Pas de description
- keithgoldstein: We have NOT discussed the budget in the board. It has not been presented, discussed and voted on.
- RayJohansen: - Until a budget is presented and decided on I will not allow us to spend one single Euro.
- Until we have a cash flow budget, same thing
- Until there is a budget for projects or conferences I will not allow us to vote on going ahead with them either.
- By law I am responsible for our use of money, like the rest of you
In conclusion we do not start by spending money before we know whe have the money and nor before suggested projects explain how that is the best use of that money. If you want to spend one Euro do not come to a board meeting with one sentence and expect us to be able to make a decision.
This goes doubly for the IT part of the budget. Before there is a contract and we agree that it is the best and most economical way of spending our money we wont pay anyone.
This is how the world works and there is simply no way you can circumvent my thinking here.
ECOSOC
Pas de description
- keithgoldstein: Let's check the veracity of this proposal for a joint written statement on Tamils Genocide in Sri Lanka.
For Next Human Rights Council we want to make a joint written statement on Tamils Genocide in Sri Lanka.
And we need the support of your NGO as supporter please let me to know if we can associate your organization to this appeal.
This appeal is an resume of Resolution which was passed at Nothern Provincial Council in Sri Lanka, which chief Minister is a Sri Lanka former Sri Lankan Supreme Court Judge.
Justice Canagasabapathy Visuvalingam Vigneswaran, is a Sri Lankan Tamil lawyer, judge and politician. He was a magistrate and a judge of the District Court, High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. He is the current Chief Minister of the Northern Province.
Northern Provincial Council (Tamil: ?? ????? ??? Va?a M?k??a Capai; NPC) is the provincial council for the Northern Province in Sri Lanka. In accordance with the Sri Lankan constitution, NPC has legislative power over a variety of matters including agriculture, education, health, housing, local government, planning, road transport and social services. The constitution also gives it powers over police and land but successive central governments have refused to devolve these powers to the provinces. NPC has 38 members elected using the open list proportional representation system.
