To my knowledge there are two versions of the application DD form: 1- the one dated March 10, 08 and sent the very day by Matthias and 2- the one dated March 27, 08 and sent on 4.04.08 by Matthias and I am referring to the indications in the later one.
Unfortunately, the only one that was circulated to the EURALO list (or to me in any form) is the one sent on March 5. If there is a newer one, then we should at least get it before we are given two days to comment upon it :-)
(...) Can you explain me how and by whom this application was discussed, to come to the recommendation above?
The application was verified and discussed by several board and ALAC members (Jeanette, Annette, Veronica and myself) besides the staff repeatedly
And who decided that ALS applications are to be discussed privately and only by a subset of the EURALO Board, rather than by all EURALO Board members?

I stated several reasons in my previous mail which are shared by all those 7 people (mentioned above) who checked the DD form, Website etc. repeatedly.
I see four people in your list above... well, never mind.
Nothing has happened for two months, so why all this hurry now?
If you haven’t realised anything for two months this does not necessarily mean that “nothing has happened” – I find your conclusions rather offensive BTW – and it perfectly fits to Juergen Habermas’ remarks about the “context of interest and perception”!
I am a EURALO Board member and this ALS application was never put up for discussion in two months. I would expect that the Board takes decisions on regional advice, not a self-appointed subgroup of people. In the absence of Board discussion, nothing has happened. In any case, in the application that was circulated to the EURALO list on March 5 I really see no grounds for rejection. If there are other documents, please forward them to the list. Regards, -- vb.
