I know that, however I want to assign someone who's going to work on
that besides me, that's one of the most important topics of our next
IRC meetings.
> can you share the prelimary request(s) with us?
Right now, what I think is most important from them is to reserve a
hotel or two, (we need to figure out are even going to need two),
second of to reserve the Venue and so on.
When do we ask for their full financial support? Aren't we suppoused
to first assign people who are going to take care of these things
money/marketing/press.
We provided them with this pretty big paper, with all our requests,
problem is that its written in Bosnian, so I don't know maybe we
should translate it into English so rest of you could understand
everything we asked in there, and how we planned the program of whole
conference.

Maybe after our next meeting in goverment, sometime during the end of
this month?
Moray and Michael,
I agree with you when it comes to the dates, then we should move the
dates ahead for one day? So the final departure date should be August
7th, Sunday?

They are firm, that's something I want to talk to all of you, so I can
come in front of them with exact request, what we want and when do we
want it.
From dates, to financial support. I want to state everything clearly
to get the clearest answers possible.
We also need to assemble Sponsorship/Marketing/Money people/team ASAP,
since we already had couple of sponsroship offers.
I believe our priorities are:
1. Make website
2. Assemble team, assign duties
3. Make Sponsorship brochure/packets for both Global and Local market
4. State what excatly we are explacting from Govt.
Once we have hotel and venue reserved, we can proceed further with our
website and Sponsorships.
I think website may one of the most important factors, and should be
viewed as source of all information that everybody needs.
Since Minister even brought up a topic of making an Ad for this region.
