Zatwierdzanie Rady
Some decisions transcend the Coordinating Collective’s coordination role. As these decisions will often need to be validated quickly, it will not be possible to mobilise the entire DiEM25 membership to vote within a tight deadline. For this purpose, a Validating Council composed of 100 DiEM25 members selected by sortition from all members is instituted. To learn more about DiEM25’s Validating Council (VC), please visit the movement’s Organising Principles.
According to the new Organising Principles, any DiEM25 member with voting rights (i.e. verified identity, up-to-date membership fee) can be randomly picked for the Validating Council at any time. You do not need to apply anymore.

As an administrator I have been working in a Southafrican political refugee camp in the '80s, at the university in Holland in the '90s and running a campsite with my husband in Portugal the last 20 years.

| Thomas Psaltou | Niemcy | I was born in Greece and grew up in Germany. Early in my youth I had to learn what exclusion and racism means for someone who grows up as a migrant in a country that is not his home country. With this knowledge in my heart I grew up and searched for recognition. I found it in wonderful people in Germany who stand against racism and exclusion. And since then DiEM 25 has been a whole movement. It will be a pleasure for me to be part of it. Übersetzt mit DeepL https://www.deepl.com/app/?utm_medium=android-share |
