1st EGI Council Meeting in Amsterdam, 9 July 2009

The 1st (MoU-based) EGI Council meeting IS NOT an open meeting or EGI workshop. The EGI Council is currently composed from NGIs and EIRO members having signed the MoU. According to Article 5 of the MoU "each (MoU) Party shall appoint one authorized representative who together shall form the EGI Council. Each Party may appoint a deputy or a proxy". Therefore at a maximum 2 participants from one country can participate at the 1st EGI Council meeting. At the end of the 1st EGI Council, the 8th Policy Board meeting will take place. Participation at the PB is as usual open to all NGI official representatives listed at http://web.eu-egi.eu/partners/ngi/.
