I DO NOT AGREE! I DO NOT THINK THAT THERE WILL BE ROOM FOR BOTH ESACP AND A NEW FEDERATION IN EUROPE, AND THEREFORE THAT ANY DECISIONS MADE IN FAVOUR OF A FEDERATION WILL HAVE IMPACT ON ESACP. FOR THIS REASON I WILL STRONGLY URGE EVERYONE NOT TO TREAT THIS SEPARATELY!

AS ALREADY STATED, THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE SEPARATED! PLEASE ALLOW US TO USE "YOUR" COMMUNICATION "CHANNEL" TO AIR OUR CONCERNS FOR ESACP. IT IS NOT GIVEN THAT A FEDERATION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF ESACP!
