FECO  RENOVATED

About:

1. FECONEWS MAGAZINE

2. FECO FEE

3. FECO BULLETIN

4. FECO BOARD

Dear FECO Members, FECO chiefs / deputies  and Organisation Members (also new members and FECO Friends)

1. FECONEWS MAGAZINE

I have been making FECONEWS Magazine, so many years,  from nr. 17 in 1994 until nr. 60 in 2015, it is time for a change. The costs of sending a printed version of the magazine by ordinary mail as parcel  or in an envelop are higher than the printing costs…

It’s time for a change. For nr. 61  only a digital version will be produced, which will be sent around in PDF by e-mail. So you can send it to you members or print is yourselves.

Two times a year. Minimum 28 pages.

2. FECO FEE

Producing FECONEWS digital means that we can reduce the FECO Fee for all countries.

We hope you agree an will pay in time to “stay” as a member of FECO.

The FECO Fee from 2016 every year will be:

a. EUROPEAN COUNTRIES (and economical stabile countries) € 200

b. EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, AFRICAN and SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRIES  € 100

c. ORGANISATION MEMBERS and CARTOON FESTIVALS  € 100

d.FECO Press card valid for 3 years € 35

e. Press Cards for Presidents and Vice-Presidents free of charge

* there can always be a discussion about which category is suitable for your country.

3. FECO Bulletin

No big changes for this digital information bulletin. Minimum 4 times a year it will be send to all FECO Chief and Organisations to inform all cartoonists about ‘burning news’ and the upcoming  cartoon contests.

4. FECO BOARD

As the President General Bernard Bouton definitely wants to resign before his period is finished, we decided to have general elections  among all members.

This time, not only for the President General of FECO, but also for the two vice-Presidents-General.

These elections will be held in June 2016. You can send to me your candidates  (until April 8, 2016). Each country can propose maximum two  candidates. (profile: is working in the field of cartoons, speaks minimum 2 or 3 languages fluently, can control e-mail and internet in English, has a feeling for diplomacy).

Each country will have 2 votes. (before voting I’ll send you all in April the list with candidates)

We hope to receive many ‘new’ and ‘young’ candidates so we can continue to build out FECO.

Peter Nieuwendijk

President General FECO
