on the working procedures

answer from Oriol ALSINA, Aliado. España , 13 May 2005

Great, although I would assign different priorities to these 5 objectives:
Urgent:

1. define the governance
2. to support the future development of the Alliance

Medium:

3. to structure the connections and the debate

Then ongoing:

4. to enhance the workingmethods
5. to build the memory

I am most amazed and disappointed that the goal “support the future development of the Alliance” does not make any reference to funding!!!!!... Yes, we need good rules, but we need funding other than FPHs too.

As you may know, I have undertaken a cofunding mission for the Alliance for over two years now and the results have not been what we expected. As the FPH position text mentions, the innovative approach of the Alliance and the identity confusion between FPH/Alliance make it difficult for traditional funders to support our work.

Knowing how difficult it is, but also how crucial for the future of the Alliance, I propose that one of the working procedures deals specifically with this issue. That is where I could participate more actively. Let’s not be afraid to talk about rules, but let’s not be afraid neither to talk about money.
