[EN] THE SPLIT DECLARATION
We, the independent and individual members of EGLSF, FGG and GLISA feel that, in light of formal obstacles preventing progress towards 1QE in 2018, we should claim back our event and start the process independently of FGG and GLISA. The process will be open to all constructive and committed community members who wish to join. Our aim is to deliver an event that is inclusive for all of our global community with its diverse needs, and with sustainability in mind.
