Wintermeeting Agenda

1. PGA process points:

The next European conference
Do we have a new convenor or will we have to organise the next conference in another way?

• presentation proposed convenor and their plans and ideas for the conference +PGA Europe
   
  If anyone has any ideas on specific groups we could still ask, let us know.
   
  We are right now asking two groups (a group in Yugoslavia and the anti-wto coordination in Switzerland). Let's hope something comes out of it. It would be best to have an introduction of a new convenor group on the process list before the wintermeeting
   
• accepting/disapproving with new convenor
   
• coordination old convenors new convenor
   
• if convenor model not possible, alternative model.
   
• Next meeting?: the anti G8 protests in June could be a good place to get together again and rejoice.

Infopoints infopoint list

What will be the role of the infopoints in the European PGA and in the run up to the next conference?

• coordination new convenor and infopoints
   
   
  evaluation and discussion of infopoints:
   
  what has been the activity of infopoints so far? evaluation and sharing experiences and ideas.
   
  Do infopoints have any other points they want to bring up?

Web stuff

• short presentation of webteam and people moderating email lists, invite other people that are interested in helping out.
   
• the action archive at www.all4all.org that was used for the leiden conference is not being used, shall we use it to prepare the next conference, who would then take care of moderating it?
   
  any points from the webteam?

Unfinished process points from Leiden process outcomes

We left some process points undecided at the conference in Leiden, you can find an overview of these in the document attached

The global process.

What is our role as European part of the PGA network in organising the next global conference?

• short feedback from the PGA meeting in Porto Alegre
   
  short feedback from different people working on global process: Latin America, Asia, North America.
   
• In Leiden was discussed to create an open global process workinggroup in Europe, now it is quite unclear for most people who is doing what. So how is this group going to work, also relating to next global conference?

Sustained campaigns sustained campaigns

Point proposed by Phil: at the global conference in Cochabamba was decided to start sustained PGA campaigns, but until now nothing much has happened.

Shall we start long term PGA campaigns in Europe?

Have a small introduction by phil, working on a campaign on water, followed by a discussion.

2. PGA process related points:

The next European Social Forum (ESF) in France and how PGA Europe relates to it

In November the next ESF takes place in France, organised by Attac and the Communist party.

How do we see this whole phenomena of the social forums and how do we react to it?

Presentation by the people that want to organise the HUB at the next ESF in Paris.

Upcoming anti-G8 protests in France G8 info

Already it has been announced that on the 1st of March in Geneva there is a big meeting to discuss to either parade or blockade at the G8. So I guess some feedback from this meeting, and from people of the French network NoPasaran that propose to organise the VAAG (anti-capitalist village) Depending on the time left, people specifically interested in this should find their own place, time and means of communication to take this further.
