Dear Member and Partner Organisations,

CDN would like to announce the 7^th Network Meeting that will take place from 20^th to 22^nd of November 2009 in Zagreb, Croatia. This event will be hosted by Youth of the Croatian Green Party.

CDN Executive committee would like to ask you to nominate the delegates to the meeting. Every Member Organisation has the right to nominate two delegates to the Network Meeting and every Partner Organisation has the right to nominate one delegate to the Network Meeting.

CDN has arranged the accommodations, meals and the meeting place and CDN will cover these costs for all the delegates. CDN will also fully cover the travel cost of one delegate from every Member Organisation. Our financial possibility is still not allowing us to cover all travel costs of the partner organisation delegate nor second delegate of the member organisations. There will be no participation fee set for this event.

In order to prepare this event well we would kindly ask you to send us the name of your delegate(s) before 1^st of October. Otherwise, it would be great if you can just shortly reply to this e mail and tell us about possible time of decision in your organisation related to the delegate(s).

The delegates are expected to arrive to Zagreb on 20^th of November before 16.00 CET and depart only after 13.00 CET on 22^nd of November. The delegates should arrange their travelling in most environmental friendly and economic manner possible. All other details will follow.
