Dear all,
please see below.
Nevertheless, I guess we continue with our plan to be ready with report end of March. We then might send it directly to the member of the AC.
for public activities with broader public outreach we might wait for the meeting taking place in 30 June 1 July.
on the website of the EPO with the Calendar, there were inserted additional technical support meetings. This might indicate that they expect need for decision making. This year is likely to become crucial.
Cheers
Christoph
PS Johanna prepared the minutes of the meeting. We should ready to send it around next week.

dear Mr Kratochvil
No Patents on Seeds! was proposing to organise a side event in the context of the meeting of the Admistrative Council in March.
In this regard, we were happy to receive a phone call from Mr. Osterwalder who promised to ask for decision making about our proposal in very near future.
We would be interested in getting some update and if possible to receive your decision, so we can prepare for next steps.
with kind regards,
Christoph Then
