If you have not received this mail by 28.09.2022, please request your access data from: d.reucher@esuinfo.org .

If we find out after the opening of the General Meeting on 30.09.2022 at 11.00 a.m. that less than 50% of the members entitled to vote are participating in the virtual meeting, the meeting is not considered to have a quorum. The virtual meeting will then take place 30 minutes later with the same agenda, according to the statutes. You can use the same dial-in data as before. The General Meeting then has a quorum regardless of the number of members dialed in.
