DiGRA General Assembly 2006 Agenda
This is the call and agenda for the DiGRA General Assembly 2006 in Athens, Greece, October 7th, 2006
Announcement and call into the DiGRA Assembly 2006 in Athens, Greece
Date: Saturday, October 7th, 2006
Time: c. 8 pm (after the Medi@terra conference’s Saturday programme ends)
Location: City of Athens, 100 Piraeus Street, Gazi Technopolis
All old and new members are hereby invited to take part in the General Assembly of the Digital Games Research Association. Assembly will deal with the past and future activities of the association, and decide for activities transferring the association main office from Finland to the United Kingdom (necessary for using English as the official language of the association). If decided by the meeting, there will thus be an action to effectively dissolve association as registered in Finland, followed by decision to reregister the association to the United Kingdom, and, thirdly, to transfer all remaining assets to the new association registered in the UK. The meeting will also elect the new Executive Board for 2007-2008. All members wanting to take a leading role in how association and its activities are run in the future are welcome to volunteer as board candidates, either at the web forum (http://www.digra.org/news/blogentry.2006-09-05.8499476089/blogentry_view), email to the board (newboard [at] digra.org) or even on site at the General Assembly. In vote, all registered individual DiGRA members have one vote; voting is also possible by proxy (signed letter of proof required). Welcome to the meeting!

The 2006 DiGRA Assembly will be organised in conjunction with the Medi@terra Art + Technology Festival and its Gaming Realities conference. The most likely available timeslot appears to be late in Saturday evening, so look forward to a DiGRA Dinner Buffet being offered during the meeting (subject to us being able to remotely organise this with the Medi@terra organisers). The Gaming Realities conference programme is now available in http://www.mediaterra.org/2006/en/conference.html (Medi@terra 2006 takes place in October 4-8 in Athens.)
