[Council] Important: Voting for GEN EU! Deadline November 15

[Fran Whitlock]

Dear all,

A few months ago, Thomas Heuser from Zegg reached out about including 
GEN EU in a kind of charity fundraiser an organisation he works with is 
doing. All we had to do was write a brief description of our work and 
people can vote for us to receive some end-of-year funding from the 
organisation. If I understand right, I think we receive some donation 
from even just being on the list, but I will clarify... Anyway, please 
see his instructions for below on how to vote, and the first 
step/request is...vote for us! And please, share with your friends, 
networks, ecovillages, on linkedin... However you can! *We have until 15 
November.*

I will also create a social media post about it, connect with Caro about 
sharing the voting with our members, add it to our newsletter and so 
on...let's see if we can get a nice little end-of-year treat :)

Hugs,

Fran

*****

There you click the button „zum voting“
Another button „zum voting“ to be clicked
Goto "Verein finden“ and key in „Global“, GEN Europe will appear below
Click the „Info & Abstimmen“ button
tag „Hiermit bestätige ich die Teilnahmebedingungen.“ to confirm the 
regulations of the voting
key in your email adress and click „abstimmen“
you will receive and email to confirm your vote, click on it and your 
vote counts.

Important note: since I, Thomas Heuser, work for the company I can asure 
you the your data is not collected for other reasons then the voting. It 
will only be used to collect the vote and to make sure there is no fraud.
*****

unfortunately there was little space to write down the discribtion of 
GEN Europe. So sorry, I had to shorten a lot. And was in a hurry to do 
so to get in the voting on time (this year after 24 yours we closed the 
registration process).

The voting ends 15th at noon. So it is only a short time.

As well I received an email with more possibilities:

Ab sofort können wir auch verschlüsselte Nachrichten austauschen. Einmal 
gemacht geht das dann automatisch! Das Lesen von Edward Snowdens Buch 
„Permanent Record“ hat mir noch mal verdeutlicht, wie wichtig das ist.

Informationen wie das geht findet ihr hier: 
https://luas.de/mailverschluesselung-mit-thunderbird-der-x-te-anlauf/ 
wie es mit Mac OS funktioniert kann ich euch sagen (kauft euch GPG Tools 
:-) )

Mein öffentlicher Schlüssel (den ihr benötigt um an mich zu 
verschlüsseln) findet ihr online oder lasst ihn Euch von mir schicken.
