The Governing Board is composed of 25 members representing the totality of the new ESHA Governing Board members present and represented. The voting rights and number of votes are counted according to article 19 of the ESHA statutes published in the “monitor belge” of 4 February 1999. Therefore, the quorum for voting any issue of the Governing Board is reached. MINUTES After the voting of the General Assembly on new statutes and the election of a new Board, the new president of ESHA called for a GB constitutional meeting with the members of the new board in order to constitute the composition and establishment of the new body, the Executive Board. The meeting took at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne in Switzerland. The Agenda was as followed:
1- Welcome and approval of the Agenda 2- Approval of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2009 3- Elections of the Executive Board, Treasurer, Internal Auditors

4- Other issues
1. Welcome and approval of the Agenda Mr. GospodjinaÄ?ki opened the meeting by welcome the new Board and introduced the Agenda which was approved with no amendments. Agreement: The GB approves the proposed agenda. Voting: 25 in favour, 0 against. 2. Approval of the Annual Report and Financial Statements Since the state of the accounts and the operating report was presented twice for the GB and GA meetings, it was not presented again. In addition, since the GA approved the accounts for 2009, the new board agreed with the procedure. The only issue the new board asked for was a complete state situation of the accounts in 2010 with possible forecast for 2011 in order to prepare the accounting exercise for 2010 and evaluate the financial situation of ESHA in the next GB meeting. Agreement: The GB concurs with the GA’s approval of the 2009 accounts. Voting: 25 in favour, 0 against. Request: Full overview of the 2010 accounts with possible forecast for 2011 for the next GB meeting. 3. Elections of the Executive Board Marko explained how the decision of creating an Executive Board (EB) ruled by the new statutes is vital for the good operation of the association. ESHA already set up in 2009 working groups in order to concentrate the contents and experts around the most relevant topics for the association. Nevertheless, between the working groups and the Governing Board must exist an intermediate body representing the operating part of the association including active member. The EB can have a maximum of 8 members. It is the active working group of the President and it is a more functional than political body. It has to be elected by the GB. Therefore, Marko presented to the new board the names of the candidates for the EB and the voting happened in an open and transparent way and every member of the EB was elected by absolute majority with no rejection or abstentions. Annexed to these minutes the list of EB members elected. Marko would like the EB meets as often as possible during the year and he proposed to hold the next meeting by end of July or September, date to be confirmed to the members in due time. In addition, he said that one of the first things that he would like to do is to make a survey on the priorities of members. Agreement: The GB approves the proposed EB members Voting: See annex. 4. Other issues There were no other issues

Marko GospodjinaÄ?ki closed the meeting by thanking everyone for the inputs and the good development of the voting and constitution of the EB. It was proposed to hold the next meeting of the GB in Lisbon on APREN premises on the 27-28 of September to coincide with the international conference Hydro10. Exact date and venue will be communicated to members in due time.
