Officially, our association’s founding was approved on 12.28.2022. The two-year term of service for the current members of the Executive Board (EB) should extend until 12.28.2024. Since we follow a calendar year (e.g., for membership), and the EB only began operations after January 2023, we propose to officially appoint the current EB starting from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. This also applies to the Advisory Board. JJ suggested that we make this decision at the next General Assembly. There was unanimous agreement among the six participants.
