Proceedings
The major topic was the splitting of the lobbying groups into small, regional groups which basically do the same but have no cooperation at all. This was identified as a major drain of resources, as all the lobbying groups need their own administration, while little to no benefit was constituted in their operation as a separate entity.
However, most of the present groups insisted in their independence from all other groups. In the end, a minor agreement was made to communicate with the other groups over a common mailing list, whereas the CH project helpdesk was chosen for this purpose.
