- <u>Arnalie Vicario</u> ''(Would have been good to compare quotations from different service suppliers but to note that this is not a requirement stated in the current [[Budgets_and_Procurement_Policy|Procurement Policy]] for Authority for Large Amounts (>10k euros). I am satisfied with the transparency and documented communication with AGIO and LWG (thank you, Sarah!) and accepts this proposal.)''<br>
- <u>Craig Allan</u> ''(Fully Agree. We will not be allowed to be called a Foundation in future as that is reserved for a different corporate structure. The procedure for holding annual meetings will be a bit odd as we will have to call the meeting twice due to Belgium quorum requirements. We won't meet quorum in the 1st meeting. 2nd meeting has no quorum. Note that the meeting must be held physically at the physical location of the secretariat, but that people may attend virtually. (Yes, that's crazy))''<br>
- <u>Daniela Waltersdorfer</u> ''(I agree but... I'm worried about the statements from Craig. Are we all okay with 1.) not being call a Foundation; 2.) Note that the meeting must be held physically at the physical location of the secretariat, but that people may attend virtually ?? I suppose that for everyone agreeing, we're okay with these 2 points.)''<br>
'''1 against: '''<br>
- <u>Guillaume Rischard</u> ''(For a sum and decision like this we should compare more than one offer. LWG isn't fully happy with AGIO.''<br>
"''Note that the meeting must be held physically at the physical location of the secretariat, but that people may attend virtually. (Yes, that's crazy)''"<br>
''Well that nips it in the bud, doesn't it? I am requesting that we delay this circular by another week, and discuss this at the f2f. See the proposal by NautaDutilh on gitlab.)''<br>

'''1 against:''' <u>Guillaume Rischard</u> ''(1000 Euros to visit an agency that has explicitly told us they can’t fund us is a very high cost, and probably not a good use of foundation money. If it’s about discussions we can have calls with them. If physical meetings make a difference, as I said, I have a UN badge and my cost to go meet them is the subway ride. We already have good connections with the UN. I fail to see what benefits to the community and foundation would justify the expense.)''
