These plans should be forwarded by email to the General Secretary.
All members of the Executive Board will receive your emails so we may discuss
its contents and give our opinions about them. From then on, the plans will be
taken into action.
We may have a great opportunity to summarize your work and to approve the
schedule for the second year of your terms during the next meeting of the
Executive Board, to be held in Bahrein in March 2015.
Those signed this letter are at your complete disposal to help you and
contribute to the success of your collective task. We look forward to hearing from you!
With internationalist and class conscious regards,
April 2014
