  2. Economic report: By 06-04-27 NOF´s assets amounted to SEK 757 508. There are still some money to claim from the Reykjavík meeting and some unpaid contingents, so the overall economic situations is favourable.

  4. NOF courses.  Since the last board meeting, a course sponsored by NOF has been held in fractures in children. There is now financial room to increase the number of courses, and a working committee (RW, BBM, NvD) will convene in Stockholm Mars 8-9, 2007.

As to collective subscription of the Acta, this is a matter for the Estonian Association to decide. Since the Acta is free on the net, this is no urgent matter.
