[aaloa supporters] News about the LECCE declaration

[Mohammad-Reza Tazari]

Questions sent to me necessitate the following explanations:

  * the first list of projects in my yesterday email are those whose
    coordinators have sent an email similar to the following (see also
    the text in the oldest news in the bottom of the declaration page
    <http://www.aalforum.eu/group/leccedeclaration>):

        *To*: antonio.kung at trialog.com,
        francesco.furfari at isti.cnr.it,saied.tazari at igd.fraunhofer.de
        *Subject*: We support the Lecce Declaration

        On behalf of the <PROJECT NAME & home-page> consortium, we would
        like to express our support to the Lecce Declaration.

    These emails are being sent to us in reply to an email that we (the
    Declaration Organizing Committee) have sent to the coordinators of
    currently running projects related to AAL (AAL JP, FP7, CIP, ITEA,
    national, ...). We thought that only in case of running projects, it
    is possible to speak on behalf of the corresponding consortia.
  * The second list was taken from
    http://aaloa.org/team/becoming_a_supporter which consists of
    projects that have explicitly requested to be mentioned as AALOA
    supporters. This does not automatically mean that they also support
    the Lecce Declaration (LD). In my email, I wanted to motivate them
    to send the email supporting the LD. However, the mistake in my
    email was that 5 of those 8 projects are already finished and hence
    it is not any more possible for them to send such an email.
    Additionally, as finished projects, the corresponding coordinators
    are not on the contact lists that we have received from AAL JP,
    eInclusion, ... => they didn't even know of it!
  * We cannot take any of the individuals / organizations / projects
    supporting AALOA automatically on the list of the LD supporters;
    only those who send an email similar to the above or join the LD
    group here <http://www.aalforum.eu/group/leccedeclaration> can be
    mentioned as the signatories of the LD. The details of how to handle
    this, is not discussed yet. My personal idea is to include the names
    of organizations and projects in the LD itself but for individuals
    create a special page under the LD group home for listing the names
    and in the LD itself only add something like "the n individuals
    listed at
    http://www.aalforum.eu/group/leccedeclaration/page/supporters". If
    all such supporters join the group on www.aalforum.eu, then we can
    avoid creating a page and simply say something like "the n members
    of the forum group http://www.aalforum.eu/group/leccedeclaration".


Kind regards,
