Rules of the Game
Below you find the basic rules for the team’s composition and responsibilities, as they were defined by the EGP Council in Brussels, in March 2009. To find out more about the actual work, click here.
Who?
The Network is run by a coordination team consisting of 9 grassroots Greens elected by Network members, and 4 representatives of other Green structures, nominated by the EGP Committee, one of which a member of that committee, and one from the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament. Grassroots team members are chosen during the Network’s annual meetings, for 2-3 years. They join because they believe in the project and are prepared to put energy and timeinto it. To optimise the European character and to ensure all initiatives are heard, a wide variety of party- and geographical backgrounds and sub-initiatives is aimed at.
What?
The team coordinates the Network’s activities and ensures a cooperation with the EGP, the Greens/EFA in the European Parliament and the EGP member parties that benefits all. Together with the EGP committee and the member parties it is responsible for the implementation of the individual supportership. Each year it submits a motivated activities’ plan and the composition of the new coordination team to the EGP council for approval, and a report of past activities for evaluation.
Responsibilities
Together the team members are responsible for a good cooperation with the parties. The supporters’ representatives are responsible for maintaining the contacts with the supporters, and with cross border grassroots’ initiatives. The representatives of the EGP and the Greens/EFA are responsible for maintaining the contacts with their organisations. Team meetings are open and are announced on this website.
