1 Protokoll över Y NEEW SWEDENs styrelsemöte Plats: Hos Daniel Blixt på Katarina Bangata 61. Närvarande: Anders Brandén, Anna Ericson, André van dem Meulebrouck, Daniel Blixt 1. Mötet öppnas. 2. Anders väljs till ordförande. 3. Daniel väljs till sekreterare och Anna till justerare. 4. Lägesrapport, ekonomin. Inkomsterna varje månad ligger på ca 3000 kr och består av månatliga insättningar från gåvogivare. I år har vi dessutom fått två större allmänna gåvor på kr, som bland annat använts för att stärka Y NEEWS organisation, respektive 6600 kr som använts för inköp av två tjurar, vilket inneburit en välkommen förstärkning av koprojektet. 5. Projektrapportering/koordinatorskapet. Rapport från DeDeYUM projektet har inkommit (bifogas protokollet) och ett av de mest intressanta resultaten är att återbetalningen av mikrolånen har ökat sedan vi infört en enprocentig ränta på lånen. Däremot behöver vi en mer omfattande rapportering om när lånen tas, när verksamheten startas upp och vid vilka datum återbetalning sker. På så vis kan vi analysera de olika verksamheternas bärkraft. I övrigt fungerar projektets övriga delar väl men även här vill vi ha mer omfattande redovisningar och tydligare utvärderingar. Generellt ska DeDeYUM struktureras annorlunda än nu? Dessa synpunkter ska skickas till Dravi för respons. André måste tyvärr avsäga sig koordinatorsansvaret. Anders B övertar denna uppgift. Education First. Inget nytt i nuläget att rapportera. Rapporter med intressant innehåll har dock publicerats på hemsidan sedan vårt senaste möte. Peter låter via Anders B meddela att han i nuläget inte kan fullfölja koordinatoruppdraget. Anders B övertar denna uppgift. Eko projektet modellhus. Rapport är på gång. När den inkommit informeras medlemmarna och läggs ut på hemsidan. Anders Rosén är ansvarig. Koprojektet. Rapport är på gång. När den inkommit informeras medlemmarna och läggs ut på hemisdan. Anders R tar över koordinatorskapet efter Anders B som får nya koordinatoruppgifter (se ovan). Alicia Akshaya Fashions. Detta är ett sidoprojekt som Daniel startade på egen hand som en gåva till hans guddotter. Detta finansieras av Daniels vänkrets och inte av Y NEEWs medlemmar eller gåvogivare. Däremot tar det en del kraft från Daniel. Ett förslag angående projektkoordinatorer är att vi har tätare möten så att föreningen som sådan hjälps åt att sköta de respektive projekten. På så vis slipper en person att bära allt utan vi hjälps åt inom föreningen. Anders B och Anders R delar (enligt ovan) sinsemellan på koordinatoransvaret över projekten.

2 6. Hemsidan. Styrelsen förklarar sig vara nöjd med hemsidan. Anders R och Tina har varit duktiga på att lägga ut blänkare med tips om läsning och evenemang. Styrelsemedlemmar och andra uppmanas att, i mån av tid och intresse, delta mer aktivt i interaktionen! Vi ändrar inget i konceptet men alla får i hemläxa att titta in på andra hemsidor för ytterligare tips om förbättringar. 7. Övrigt. Nästa mötesdatum blir tisdag 11 januari kl. 18 hos Anders Brandén. Anders Brandén, Ordförande Daniel Blixt, sekreterare Anna Ericson, justerare
