WPE skype call Wednesday invitation and chat information
Rasmus Tenbergen
Dear friends of the WPE,
during the past weeks, we tested the format of skype calls to organize the WPE work with a small group and we found it was a very good way to do it. We therefore plan to extend it to a larger group an to weekly jour fixe:
Every Wednesday, 6pm GMT (time can be changed, if more people from the far east want to participate), starting this Wednesday, February 17th, a main meeting with the big issues organizing the more detailed work.
You are invited to join us, please let me know before the meeting, so that we can invite you via skype too (if you do not use skype so far, it is free, you can download it on the internet).
We even hope that the skype calls can replace the text chats we had so far. There is a chat scheduled for next Saturday, February 20th, 3pm GMT: see http://worldparliament.a.wiki-site.com/index.php/WPE_SPOP. An idea is that we do this text chat only if people do not think the skype format is sufficient. If that is your opinion, and you want to do the text chat Saturday, please let me know before the Wednesday meeting, so that we can decide on Wednesday whether we do the Saturday chat.
I hope to meet you soon, best wishes,
Rasmus Tenbergen
