Golden Tulip Hotel, Leiden Holland. This Assembly was
attended by 60 members. Beatrijs Sterk retired

the period 2015 - 2017 As the closing of the Hannover Secretariat office cannot be delayed any longer, Lala de Dios offered to take over the running of ETN, working from her office near Madrid, Spain, untill, at least, the 2017 General Assembly. She offered: • To do / coordinate all the administrative tasks regarding the network finances, membership and others. • To go on sending information to members, via the Newsletter unless other means be devised by the Board. Also sending the Calendar and the ETN membership list due to be published in 2016. • To update the ETN data base so that all previous work does not go wasted. • To receive and answer the mail. • To take care of the organization of the 2017 Conference. • To take care of any other matter related to the operation of the network.
