Minutes General Assembly 2011 17Th-18Th October 2011, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Minutes General Assembly 2011 17th-18th October 2011, Amsterdam, the Netherlands Monday - 17th October 2011 Plenary Session 1 Opening Remarks Esther Paterson, Chair of the IGLYO Board, opened the conference. She began by thanking the sponsors of the event: European Commission Progress Programme, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science in the Netherlands and the City of Amsterdam. She welcomed the guests and delegates, in particular the 18 new member organisations and the new members from 4 countries not previously represented – Hungary, Georgia, Cyprus and Montenegro. She explained that statutory meetings were very important for a youth-led organisation as an opportunity to get the views and feedback of members. Eunis, Board member from COC Nederland, addressed the GA and outlined COC Nederland's work on youth and education. COC is a 65 year-old organisation with 22 regional offices and national programmes on issues including health and Human Rights. Some of their recent work includes lobbying for legislation to protect gay and lesbian teachers in private and religious schools. She also outlined COC's programmes in schools which include Jong en Oot (Young and Out), GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) and Pink Elephant. Ben Baks, political advisor to government of the Netherlands, addressed the GA and introduced the current policy document in the Netherlands, which includes a commitment to double the number of GSAs, and the number of rainbow cities. He said that the Ministry was glad to support IGLYO and other member organisations (through Dutch embassies). He explained that the international challenges include the fact that there are no binding documents for LGBTQ rights in the UN. He also said he felt that there was too little progress in Europe. He congratulated IGLYO and expressed the government’s willingness to continue support in upcoming years. Oisin O'Reilly, (OR) IGLYO Board Member introduced himself, Jordan Long (JL) Programmes and Policy officer, Virginija Prasmickaite (VP) Office Manager, Bjarne volunteer from COC NL. Adoption of the Chair The Board nominated Ruth Baldacchino (RB) as Chair. The nomination was approved by the General Assembly. Adoption of the Minute Taker The Board nominated Daniel Winstanley (DW) as Minute Taker. The nomination was approved by the General Assembly. RB said she was honoured to be asked to Chair the meeting as an ex-IGLYO Board member 2003-2005. She has since moved to ILGA Europe as Board member for 4 yrs and has also been a Board member for ILGA World and her organisation Malta Gay Rights Movement. She explained her role will be to facilitate the GA and began with a few ground rules. GA’s can be exciting and fun, but timekeeping is very important so we need cooperation and understanding. Since few delegates are native speakers she asked that native speakers pause a moment before speaking. In terms of questions and answers – there will be an order of speakers. Delegates must say their name and organisation. Mobile phones should be on silent mode or off. Please try to limit the use of laptops. Finally in terms of photographs and video recording – delegates must approach board members during coffee break if you do not wish to appear in these. OR also introduced Melinda, a researcher from Hartford University in the US, doing research on LGBTQ activism who would be observing during the GA. Roll Call RB explained that the purpose of the roll call is to establish quorum for the GA and distribute voting cards. If voting cards are lost then the organisation will not receive a right to vote. OR pointed out that DIH (association for Integration of Homosexuality, Slovenia) had membership fees outstanding. Existing members voted that DIH could have voting rights despite this. OR explained that there were 2 General Assemblies going on at the same time, since two organisations exist, one registered in the Netherlands and one in Belgium. The Dutch association exists for funding purposes. Organisations who are members of both associations have two voting cards. Members who joined after Dec 2009 are only members in one country but have the same rights. There would be a ‘speed GA' of IGLYO (Netherlands) tomorrow to ensure that both organisations have the same statutes. Adoption of agenda – GA 2011-1 The agenda was approved by the General Assembly. Membership ratifications - GA 2011-19 OR noted the resignation of HELEM. He explained that members were terminated on two criteria: either the organisation is confirmed to no longer exist or has not paid their funds for four years with no contact with IGLYO. Alan Bailey (NUS LGBT, UK): asked whether one of the criteria had to be met or both. OR said that it was either of the criteria. The motion was adopted. Emergency motion to admit USI LGBT (Ireland). This motion was adopted. Roll call of new members. Roll call was completed and voting cards distributed to the new member organisations present. End of first session. WORKSHOPS RB opened the next session with a technical announcement. There had been some queries concerning voting procedures. Roll call was a quick run through of the members in order to hand out voting cards. In almost every case members will be told what is expected (show of hands, applause etc.) If there is a clear majority then the motion has passed and the agenda can move on. If a member organisaton is not happy with that then there can be a count. Members then moved into three workshops 1. Policy development, facilitated by JL 2. International development (Membership policy and the organisation's role), facilitated by OR with Pink Life and Kaos presenting. 3. Inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue (ICIRD), facilitated by Zara Shushanyan (ZS) Plenary Session RB clarified voting procedures - a show of hands is asked for members are approving something. When the Chair feels that a vote count is called for this will take place but there is not time for a vote count on every issue. Delegates must show voting cards. In votes the Chair asks who is in favour, and then abstentions and who is against. Two tellers are required – RB asked for approval of Augustas Cicelis (AC) and Felix Konig (FK) as tellers. The GA approved AC and FK as tellers. Gisela Janis (SFQ, Sweden) commented that while they were not objecting to this submission, it was felt that these should be open nominations rather than the Board nominating someone. EP responded that there were a limited pool to choose from because the tellers must not be from member organisations as they will be counting the votes for new Board members. Otherwise this would have been opened up to other delegates. Gisela indicated that it was alright to proceed. Feedback from Workshops and Policy Paper Amendments Policy developements: Jordan Long (JL) presenting The group had discussed relationships which IGLYO was building in EU. The biggest work area is the horizontal anti-discrimination directive, which will provide protection from discrimination in all areas at the same level (e.g. sexual orientation is only protected in the workplace but not other spheres of life). IGLYO has had high-level meetings with officials in the European commission and European Parliament and works closely with the Intergroup on LGBT rights. The Board is part of an information exchange with other equality bodies in Europe. Important developments include the council of minister recommendationsof Council of Europe and the report from the Commissioner on Human Rights Thomas Hammeberg. Recommendations are positive on LGBTQ issues for the 47 member states and IGLYO is incorporating these recommendations into the work plans. IGLYO's key relationships in Europe include IGLA-Europe, OBESSU, ESU, European Disability Forum, Mental Health Europe, Age Platform, and TGEU. IGLYO tries to ensure that LGBTQ youth and student issues are reflected in the work of these organisations and also that youth and student issues are represented in mainstream LGBT work. IGLYO has also responded on national issues, including those in Lithuania and Spain. Intercultural and Interreligious dialogue – Presented by Zara Shushanyan ZS said that presentations would be made by two groups – one on intercultural dialogue and one on interreligious dialogue sections of the position paper. She invited Despina Michaelidou (ACCEPT LGBT, Cyprus) to present on Intercultural Dialogue section. Proposal: Page 5, 1st para 1st line: 'living in…. queerphobia' insert 'and intersexphobia and lesbophobia'. Explanation: group wished to use inclusive language and also bring attention to the issues around lesbophobia and intersexphobia. Motion is passed by a clear majority. 5 abstentions. None against. Proposal: Page 5, Para 4, Line 2: Delete 'cultural' Explanation: Delete the word 'cultural' since the whole paper is about intercultural dialogue. ZS clarified that there wasn't a separate section for cultural since it was felt that culture was coverd under linguistic and ethnic sections. Karoline Borner (Lambda Jugendnetzwerk Berlin-Brandenburg, Germany) said that it seemed to suggest there would be a section on this topic. AC said that if the word cultural were removed the sentence would not make sense. Laurynas Pliuskys (LGBT Youth Scotland, UK) asked whether the cultural aspect was being removed or if it was just a grammatical point. ZS said that the content does not change it is just grammatical and that the paper does include cultural aspects. Despina suggested perhaps culture does not need to be there. David Debono (MGRM, Malta) proposes to delete the word 'cultural' and insert 'two' instead of 'three'. Moved to vote. 17 for. 19 abstentions. 7 against. Motion failed. Proposal: Page 6 para 4 line 3: Replace 'tolerance' with 'respect and acceptance'. Roh Petas (SETA, Finland) proposed just 'respect' not 'acceptance'. Ashot Gevogyan (We For Civil Equality, Georgia) proposed 'tolerance, respect and acceptance'.

  • Advocacy Statement
    Advocacy Statement The “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme will follow the current EU Youth Programme which ends in 2006. The new programme to receive funding will run from 2007 to 2013. The importance and effect of the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme is currently being jeopardized by the cuts to the overall EU budget for the period of 2007-2013. Supported by the European Parliament report from October 2005, organisations active in the youth field and young people across Europe, we urge national governments and MEPs to seriously consider the impact of the budget cut to the Youth programme. Such a decrease to the budget will not allow maintaining all foreseen actions and their quality. Therefore, we strongly demand to maintain the Youth budget at a level, at which the previous standards of the actions can be continued, supplementing with innovative elements, offering more possibilities to more beneficiaries of the programme. We believe that the objectives of the programme cannot be achieved under 915 million EUR. However we endorse and support the proposal of the European Parliament to allocate 1,128 billion EUR to the “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme. The “YOUTH IN ACTION” contributes to the future of Europe by investing in young people, by enhancing the mobility of young people thus strengthening cohesion and contributing to the overall objectives of the European Union. 1 The general aims of the new “YOUTH IN ACTION” programme are to promote the active citizenship of young people in general and their European awareness in particular, to develop solidarity among young people in order to strengthen the EU’s social cohesion and to encourage European cooperation in the field of youth policy.
