I had to prepare exams and sometimes I have to accomplish some unplanned duties.

Current date/time is perfect. If I haven't any other duty to deal with
after 18.00 UTC, I'm pleased to share my POV.

This isn't something from past meetings (that I've the honor to
attend): I think it's necessary to let people know what Marketing
Project means, I know it's quite a stupid thing (I'm sorry if I
pointed this), but I think if many of the mktg members would know what
are the projects activities/goals many people will join meetings. I
think this could be resumed in the principle that If there are goals,
there is activity and, consequentially, people.

There is a marvellous Marketing Plan: I think it's necessary to
organize activities to explain its content and, then, focus on
activities based on it. Actually only few people understand the
marketing plan and all the connected activities: before acting there
is planning, but between those two elements it's necessary an
explanation i order to get the tasks done.

BTW, I want to let you know FAmSCo has created a task to better
collaborate with marketing, working spreading among Ambassadors the
mktg plan and use it as a mainly tool to direct the promotional
activities in events and so on (p.s. This task is currently under
development).
