OR-REC: Executive Committee Recommendation on the Membership Applications
Motion text
This recommendation letter is written to present the assessment made by the
2023-2024 CDN Executive Committee on the application of Human Development
Research Initiative to become a Member Organisation of CDN.
The Executive Committee has evaluated that Human Development Research Initiative
does not satisfy the criteria for membership indicated in Internal Rules of
Procedure § 5.3.
First of all, Human Development Research Initiative is an organisation that is
not based in Eastern Europe, therefore cannot be a Member Organisation. HDRI was
also never active in CDN.
HDRI does not fulfil general criteria for membership, as it is not youth
organisation. In the application form, HDRI stated that it is "youth-led think
tank", but the Executive Committee could not evaluate that because of lack of
previous work with HDRI. The organisation is registered and has statutes.
HDRI does fulfil sustainability criteria. It is an organisation established in
2017 that organises several projects. It also has democratic structures, as
defined by statutes (with Executive Board and General Assembly).
HDRI does not fulfil value and issue criteria. The Executive Committee evaluates
that the field of activity of HDRI is compatible with CDN political work, but
cannot evaluate its compatibility with CDN political values because of lack of
previous work with HDRI. Because of that, the EC is also not able to evaluate
HDRI's openness for Green values as a whole.
Therefore, the Executive Committee gives a negativerecommendation for the
General Assembly to vote on HDRI’s candidacy as a Member Organisation. The EC is
encouraging HDRI’s members, especially those coming from Eastern Europe, to take
part in CDN activities during 2024.
This recommendation letter is written to present the assessment made by the
2023-2024 CDN Executive Committee on the application of ECO Group Youth
Environmental NGO (EGYE) to become a Member Organisation of CDN.
The Executive Committee has evaluated that EGYE does not satisfy the criteria
for membership indicated in Internal Rules of Procedure § 5.3.
EGYE was never active in CDN and/or FYEG. There was no previous contact between
CDN and EGYE before receiving the membership application. Moreover, CDN already
has a Member Organisation from Armenia (Frontline Youth Network).
EGYE does fulfil general criteria for membership. It is a youth organisation
that is registered and has statutes.
EGYE does fulfil sustainability criteria. It is an organisation established in
2019 that organises several projects. It also has democratic structures, as
defined by statutes.
EGYE does not fulfil value and issue criteria. The Executive Committee evaluates
that the field of activity of EGYE is compatible with CDN political work, but
cannot evaluate its compatibility with CDN political values because of lack of
previous work with EGYE. Because of that, the EC is also not able to evaluate
EGYE's openness for Green values as a whole.
Therefore, the Executive Committee gives a negativerecommendation for the
General Assembly to vote on EGYE’s candidacy as a Member Organisation. The EC is
encouraging EGYE’s members, especially those coming from Eastern Europe to
establish contact with CDN by taking part in CDN activities during 2024.
This recommendation letter is written to present the assessment made by the
2023-2024 CDN Executive Committee on the application of JEF-Georgia to become a
Member Organisation of CDN.
The Executive Committee has evaluated that EGYE does not satisfy the criteria
for membership indicated in Internal Rules of Procedure § 5.3
JEF-Georgia was never active in CDN and/or FYEG. There was no previous contact
between CDN and JEF-Georgia before receiving the membership application.
Moreover, CDN already has a Member Organisation from Georgia (Young Greens of
Georgia).
JEF-Georgia does fulfil general criteria for membership. It is a youth
organisation that has statutes.
JEF-Georgia does not fulfil sustainability criteria. It is a newly established
organisation that organises projects only on specific issues. It has democratic
structures, as defined by statutes.
JEF-Georgia does not fulfil value and issue criteria. The Executive Committee
evaluates that the field of activity of JEF-Georgia is compatible with CDN
political work, but cannot evaluate its compatibility with CDN political values
because of lack of previous work with JEF-Georgia. Because of that, the EC is
also not able to evaluate JEF-Georgia's openness for Green values as a whole.
To sum up, CDN Executive Committee is willing to cooperate with JEF-Georgia as
well as other JEF’s branches in Eastern Europe, but based on Internal Rules of
Procedures EC evaluates that JEF-Georgia does not fulfil the membership criteria
now. The EC is encouraging JEF-Georgia’s members to establish contact with CDN
by taking part in CDN activities during 2024. This would also help in developing
their political programme and strategy for them to fulfil the membership
criteria in coming years.
Therefore, the Executive Committee gives a negativerecommendation for the
General Assembly to vote on JEF-Georgia’s candidacy as a Member Organisation.
This recommendation letter is written to present the assessment made by the
2023-2024 CDN Executive Committee on the application of Czech Young Greens to
become a Member Organisation of CDN.
The Executive Committee has evaluated that Czech Young Greens satisfies all
criteria for membership indicated in Internal Rules of Procedure § 5.3.
Czech Young Greens were visibly active in CDN and young green movement as a
whole during last year. There were participants from Czech Young Greens both at
our Summer Camp and Study Session. The organisation also conducted the local
action as a part of our that was proven to be successful. It’s worth to note
that Czech Young Greens used to be Partner Organisation of CDN until 2019 and
lost this status only because of organisational change, not because of political
differences. The re-establishing Czech Young Greens as a Member Organisation was
one of the aims of the 2023-24 Executive Committee.
Czech Young Greens fulfil the general criteria for becoming a Member
Organisation. The applying organisation is a youth organisation, the youth wing
of the Czech Green Party, has the statutes and is registered.
The sustainability criteria are also fulfilled by Czech Young Greens. The
organisation has clearly defined democratic structures (Assembly, Board and
Audit Committee) as well as four local groups. The activity of Czech Young
Greens are of wide range, as proven by participation in CDN events on various
topics as well as by having the young candidates in elections.
Regarding value and issue criteria, the Executive Committee evaluates them as
fulfilled. Czech Young Greens is a green organisation, with programme compatible
with CDN political values. The political manifesto is rather short, the
Executive Committee believes though that membership in CDN will help Czech Young
Greens to build their political platform and/or strategy during 2024 (as already
proven during the local climate campaign with ideological gathering).
Therefore, the Executive Committee gives a positive recommendation for the
General Assembly to vote on Czech Young Greens' candidacy as a Member
Organisation.
