*EM = We had a very long discussion about this topic and it became clear
during this debate that some members are willing to consider to support the
reserve fund with a well defined amount/percentage under certain
conditions. To be able to consider such kind of approach, we need more
information from the Board/Org to be able to justify such a step. It's
absolutely clear that we can't take such a step lightly and that we will
need to debate this again once we have received more information. The
original responses, with a clear indication for a 'No' remain valid until
there is a strong support for a different approach. Let me assure you that
there is no hidden agenda and we're not looking for a way to justify to
replenish the reserve fund but we have missing pieces of important
information. I hope my explanation helps to ease your concerns. *
