Dear liberal friends,  

Happy New Year 2022! We hope you are keeping safe and healthy!  

We continue with our concept of the Digital Assembly of LYMEC in 2022. This event (already our 4th) will take place online on Saturday, February 5 at 10 h CET (Brussels time).  In an attempt to open to our member organisations and increase transparency, we would like to increase the amount of opportunities to meet the current leadership and discuss together the main issues we are facing today in Europe.  

The agenda will be as follows: 

Part A will be dedicated to the Bureau presenting what has been done so far in the mandate (since the last hybrid Congress in Autumn 2021 in Paris) and what the plans for the coming months are, especially in light with the Electoral Congress (May 2022 in Prague). This will be primarily an opportunity for delegations to ask questions and share their concerns with the current leadership. Questions or comments for Part A can be sent to [email protected] anytime ahead of the event or you can simply ask for the floor during the event.  

Part B will deal with the latest proposals for resolutions of the working group on the renewal of our Policy book. We are focusing this time on Chapter 4 of our Policy book. The outcomes are available here and you can send your amendments and proposals for discussion to our Policy Officer ahead of the Assembly (deadline is 2 February 2022, end of the day). This discussion will aim at finding compromises, creating alliances, exchange views and prepare the work for Congress. In no way the discussions will have a binding effect, resolutions will be debated and adopted at our next Congress. Amendments to resolutions should still be tabled for the Congress. However, the opinion of the Assembly will be transmitted as announcement during the working groups on resolutions taking place before the next Congress. All delegates will be able to intervene in the discussions following the rules of procedures in place. Questions or comments for Part B including your proposals (before the deadline - 2 February 2022) can be directly sent to both [email protected] and [email protected].  

The proposals/amendments should be:

• Specific
• Directly related to the outcomes of the policy book renewal
• Mention the sentence/words amended in the existing text
• Clearly specify the nature of the amendment (addition, replacement or deletion)
• Wording of the change should be clear
• Add a short justification (two sentences maximum)

  Schedule:

• The meeting will start at 10 h CET (Brussels time) and end around 12 h 30 CET - TEMPTATIVE. 
• The event will take place fully online on Zoom conferencing platform.
