› The GA is asked to decide that IMCS UL SigmaNet (Latvia) and LITNET (Lithuania) shall pay 1 unit as their membership fee for 2014, with 10 votes in the General Assembly.
Slide 23
6d. Membership fees 2014
› Fee has stood at € 5,027 since 2008. › This has caused an erosion of fee income in real terms
› The TEC proposes to return to the practice of 2008 and
earlier years and to adjust the fee for inflation – that means an adjustment of 2.8%
› The GA is asked to set the membership fee unit for 2014 at € 5,168.
6d. Budget proposal 2014
› Based on fairly conservative assumptions, but secretariat staff currently working at full capacity.
› Need for a temporary increase in the manpower of the Secretariat for 2014 and 2015 to support increased focus on international user groups, research infrastructures and “data consumers”. Expected Horizon2020 funding projects compensates this small increase.
› Budget shows modest deficit in 2014 and positive results in following years.
