Progress Report 1
[Comments of Principal Coordinator in blue]
I. Actual Standings of the Hungarian NC Team András László has had a few phone conversations with
András Vág, and they agreed to have a indepth meeting and exchange of ideas as
to Focus/Scope and Structure of the Hungarian NC Team of the NewPOL Network.
This meeting will take place in Budapest during my next stay (Oct 16- Oct
30, 2004); First of all, I see my functioning in the NewPOL
Network as an Interface between the various spheres of Hungarian society:
academic, commercial, media/press, art, political, public? NGO’s, the business
community…on the one hand and the liaison with the global players on the
other. My own organization EuroVisioning.org
(www.eurovisioning.org)
will function as the overall interface platform. The first actions of the Hungarian NC Team of the
NewPOL Network are fourfold: 1) upgrade the Hungarian web site according to its
own ideosyncracies and Unique Selling Proposition –USP; 2) design a leaflet in
Hungarian/English outlining the Network Project and its Hungarian concrete
implementation; 3) attract investors; and 4) position the Hungarian NC Team as a
bridge-building platform in Central and Eastern Europe. During our first working session The Hungarian NC Team
will focus on its first priorities: 1) convening a small and effective Hungarian
NC Team of 10-15 people; 2) designing a distribution of workload – who does
what –; 3) set up a huge Hungarian Network by introducing the Network Project;
4) set up an agenda and a short-term action plan of the Hungarian NC Team; 4)
design a press release leaflet. Once the Hungarian Project is identified and outlined,
the Hungarian NC Team will designate a Project Manager and an assistant By the end of the year 2004, the organizational, structural and logistical part of the Hungarian NC Team should be completed. Through the contacts/networking of EuroVisioning.org
the Hungarian NewPOL Network Project will we disseminated on a global scale.
Large-scale visibility and brand positioning is the primary focus. II.
