QUESTION:

Gagan – As a leader what has been your great moment as ISU Leader – The part of whether I am offering and working for ISU. Do I want to

continue to work in ISU and do I want to go back home? Since I am a lawyer and I have a firm at home so I have to go home. The expenses that I

have in Norway stops me from staying Norway and that’s the main reason why I went home.


org.nr: 892 438 072 Page 14 of 20

The decisive moment for me as a leader is the day by day challenges in Norway and how to stay, live and work but I was confident when I left

because the new board has done a really excellent job.

Leah – about the continuity handbook input.

May – asking about what we can do for the students who go back home because of the 94thou-guarantee money problem.

2) Things wanted to share about LM1 experience:

- Great hotel

- Glad delegates participated

- And listened to all of the discussions

3) Do you have other comments, questions or concerns?

- Thank you for the good event

- Not possible to accept as tourism opportunity, people should have been more aware of

importance of meeting and take seriously (not just fun), food was ok but a bit more variety should

have been great

- Water and soft drinks would have been great


org.nr: 892 438 072 Page 9 of 23

- How effective is our communication?

- What kind of communication is better?

- What can we improve in the future?

Communication must be improve, share delegates with Local Branches board members what was

discussed, what we have talked to be improved and other information explained at LM2

We must be good at communication!!!

NB wants to give a chance to LB’s improve communication, and have a better and strong

communication between NB and LB

to communicate must be very useful

Important to remember

lose right of vote if not present at 2 callings, and pay all expenses, and the majority of NSO decides as

NB, a best of luck and a very difficult job and keep on doing the good work that you are doing.

Friends all over the world. Fantastic people and excellent cooperation.

QUESTION:

Gagan – As a leader what has been your great moment as ISU Leader – The part of whether I am offering and working for ISU. Do I want to

continue to work in ISU and do I want to go back home? Since I am a lawyer and I have a firm at home so I have to go home. The expenses that I

have in Norway stops me from staying Norway and that’s the main reason why I went home.

The decisive moment for me as a leader is the day by day challenges in Norway and how to stay, live and work but I was confident when I left

because the new board has done a really excellent job.

Leah – about the continuity handbook input.
