Transparency - Bullshit

The Progress Meeting taking place this morning answered some questions about the intranet contract, but some were not satisfied with all the answers given. The contract as such is legally okay, but the participants were especially intersted in the progress and who took the decision about specifications and the communication progress. Dragan and Robin explained the contract, however, it became clear that there was no real internal call for volunteers with IT background (maybe paid for there effort) and only a limited open call for companies (It was stated that 4 companies made offers, but Dragan couldn't show the documents with concrete prices.) The next problem are the trainings for IT people to sustain the new intranet. There is no word about it in the contract, according to Dragan the Company are willing to give trainings in Serbia, so let's hope this will take place without further payment.
In the following plenary, Dragan gave a short summary of the main topics discussed. During his speech he said "Transparency" na dthis was the last word missing in the "bullshit bingo" some people were playing during the plenary :-)

The last news from the plenary: The CD will not resign. They understand the rejection of the AR in a way that the Agora is satisfied with their actions as such, but not with the way of communication and contact to the network.

Right now, the Candidates for the CD are presenting themselves. We will keep u updated about all new developments happening on Cyprus.
