State
of our activities :
Philippe read the state of past activities
since the creation of the association (see activity report September 1999 -
June 2001 on the Internet site of the IFRAM).
The following points were then discussed :
- better allocation of the tasks ;
-
to define shorter term objectives ;
- better communication between members
essential.
Philippe tells about the software Office XP
which allows easy setting up of an intranet, which would favour exchanges
between members. It would be desirable also to install on the site a password
protected page. Till then we shall communicate by mail ;
- the creation of our own domain name
(IFRAM.asso.fr) was proposed ;
- the hosting of our Internet site on
Respublica is to be seen again because of slowing down problems and others. A
web hosting by Amen.fr was raised for a cost (basic hosting) of
50 FF/month ;
- electronic signature has now the same legal
value as the paper one. To get information about this subject and the methods
and activate it for each member ;
- to try to recontact the administrator of the
Wallach foundation ;
- Alsace Biovalley : to prospect eventually ;
- the file of persons who could help us will be
sent by Philippe ;
- to think to update CVs.
Rereading
of the projects of the members of the association.
Discussion
around some opinions developed through mail exchanges between Philippe, Damien
and Alain.
- Philippe presented us a work idea on
spirulin, its cultivation in view of production of vegetal protein as well as
for a fundamental research purpose. A subject to go further into.
- An essential point : to work together on one unique project, each of us on an aspect which would correspond oneself more personally. This would be inspiring with more energy for everyone and easier also to defend to potential donors. Remains to agree on a leading driving idea and to define the diverse research ramifications for each of us. This will be the main subject of our next assembly.
Philippe suggests two interesting lines :
biophysical aspects of viruses ; study of the protein folding mechanism.
Propositions of other
activities :
-
Formation, scientific workshop, accompaniment. One
has to define very precise projects. Example : acquisition of a trinocular
optical microscope with camera. Philippe sees in the acquisition of this tool
the starting point of a very interesting set of activities (presentation of
slides, video sequences in schools, etc). Moreover, this microscope could be
used for research.
- Cycle of university formation (external
speakers). For
instance at the Folk University.
- Editing of popularization articles. Example :
viruses and cancers.
- Contact with the city hall, the "Conseil
Général" concerning popularization and worshops.
Financial aspects :
Our closed account (Banque Populaire) will be
reopened soon.
The subscription is maintained to 100 FF per
year.
Call for the payment of the subscriptions.
Invoicing
of Philippe's travelling costs to Strasbourg.
Association :
Renewal
: after reading of the mails
sent by Alain, Damien and Christin and a vote of the
present members, the association is renewed.
Change
of name : IFRA in IFRAM. A financial aid will be asked to the IFRA of Strasbourg
(Mr Esber).
LOGO
: a presentation of different new models has been done.
Philippe will address copies to the members. The logo of the association
: maybe to file.
The
composition of the committee was discussed :
- The case of Najib was brought up. His persistence not to
answer to the mails which were addressed to him implies a reaction from the
association. In agreement with the statutes, he will be considered as resigning
in case of non excused absence at the next assembly.
- Philippe will take up the responsibility of
secretarial work, as well as the one of treasurer in Véronique's place.
- Damien will be assessor.
- The vice-president post will be maintained.
Modification
of the statutes :
- The local Alsace-Moselle law on associations
authorizes lucrative aims.
To see : the reform of the Jospin law on
associations, which would allow remuneration of the presidents.
Article 2 : "without lucrative aim"
removed.
- Article 1 : "IFRAM ,
Multidisciplinary" added.
-
Article 16 : we think that our Internet site plays the equivalent role of a
register.
- Article 3 : modification of the address of
the registered office of our association, transfered
"8 rue Sainte Geneviève, Mulhouse"
(address of Damien).
- Article 10 : vote for the members of the
committee : secret or not ? To precise.
- Article 11 : signature of the registers.
Should we all the same constitute a register (loose sheets for easier mailings)
?
- Article15 : in contradiction with article 19.
To homogenize.
- Reading of the charter and corrections.
Alain and Damien were then contacted by phone
to inform them about discussed points and obtain their opinion.
Next meeting : end of September / beginning of
October : 2 week-ends will be proposed.
