The minutes of the last EARN EXEC meeting were approved and will be circulated to the EARN BOD.

Michael Hebgen described the situation in Germany where the German PTT is going to introduce volume dependent tariffs on the international EARN links. Dennis Jennings as the EARN president will write a letter to the German PTT minister saying that if the German PTT insists on volume charging EARN is forced to refuse. With a copy of this letter Michael Hebgen will do related and coordinated actions.

There are still some budgetary and funding issues to be cleared and resolved.

III. EARN FUNDING 1988

Stefano Trumpy, Dennis Jennings, David Lord and Michael Hebgen described the position of their countries. After some discussion the EARN EXEC agreed to try to get as much agreement as possible with the EARN BOD.

The items on associate membership fee and other funding shall be put on the next EARN EXEC agenda.

IV. MIGRATION STRATEGY

Paul Bryant presented his document PB351 and described the La Gaude meeting together with Michael Hebgen and the discussion on hardware and software X.25 switches and on gateways to national networks.

V. EARN87

There is an offer and a clear conception for a meeting in May 1988 from Turkey. At the next EARN BOD meeting all interested installations will be invited to make offers.
