Amanda Lawrence (president) and Belinda Spry (Exec Officer) attended the 3 day Summit in Berlin which focussed mainly on the Draft Movement Charter with affiliates and key stakeholders providing significant feedback and suggestions. Since then the Board of Trustees have posted a response on Meta. The current timeline indicates that from 25 June―9 July 2024 there will be a Ratification vote for the Movement Charter.
 
Belinda also spent a day with 25 EO’s focussing on specific topics and issues for affiliates which was incredibly worthwhile. Overall it was an outstanding experience and many vital connections and potential future partners and projects identified.
