Hi all,

in yesterday's call the SOTC report was discussed and it seems that it's launch had immediate effect on additional small donations coming in, f.e. via PayPal. All those translations you did probably have their share in triggering this impact.

In related matters, Rebecca will compile information about the next weeks of the end-of-year fundraising efforts and how affiliates can get engaged if they want. Stay tuned for that in the coming days.

Also, you probably saw Ryan's thanks to the 6 outgoing CC Board Members. There seems to be a lot of positive energy in and around the board these days, which the outgoing people will probably carry over to their new home in the Advisory Council. Some formal changes to the board include an extension of term for new members from 3 to 4 years and that the CEO now has a vote.

The board also approved the revised CC strategy that Ryan had been developing in several stages since he came on board. One important thing for all of us is that advocacy for law reform now features prominently in there. More on this, the important role of affiliates in strategy implementation and about implications of the approved budget will come from Ryan soon.

Yours

John & Gwen
