    * The newsletter helped a lot for getting people to Arnhem Calling
    * NMW could redirect new members to the newsletters (Henri > people in the NMW)
    * It would be nice to have a link to the site on the NL group (Liza, Henri)
    * Nicholas might be able to a get the site hosted on the couchsurfing servers. We keep this in mind for when the number of visitors will increase. Nicholas will check the possibilities.  (Nicholas)

* cities without ambassadors: no developments yet 

* foundation research: Linda: association is no option at all, there are quite some formal requirements and costs for that, but there are also advantages. Other countries (Indonesia, Hungary) have got more experience about it.
