Meeting Location: Hotel Ador, Bern, BE, Switzerland
Around 36 people gathered for this meeting in Bern. The first part of the event consisted of the General Meeting, where 18 voting members were present. The membership count was reported to be currently 159.
Further on, Gabriel Leuzinger gave some information about the financial situation. The budget is constantly becoming tighter but careful management of the funds still allowed to close the year with a minimum cash reserve until the next disbursement from the AES headquarter arrives.
The next then was the committee elections. Except the already announced resigning of Attila Karamustafaoglu all existing members were candidates for the re-election. Unfortunately no new candidates had followed the call for participation in the committee, so the election candidates were the six remaining ones.
All allowed members gave their vote in their favour, meaning that the re-election took place in a fast and uncomplicated way.
Attila Karamustafaoglu thanked the members for their support and membership throughout his time in the committee. The new committee now consists of following members:
• Terry Nelson (chairman)
• Gabriel Leuzinger (vice-chairman)
• Véronique Adam
• Patrick Boehm
• Christoph Jäger
• David Norman
The second part of the meeting was formed by the four technical presentations about the current generation of audio networks. All being Ethernet based, they are still different and all have their pros and cons. Please refer to the download section on the website to access all presentations held.
After the meeting about 20 persons enjoyed a dinner at the nearby restaurant "Tre Fratelli".
