Organizational structure

This is how we organize ourselves:

Core-ORGA-Team

A bunch of people doing the central work. They are leading the board and organize all basic functions (money flow, web-hosting, central marketing, central services, actions (magazine, flyer) , …

They are also acting as primary support for coordinators.

Our goal is to have at least three people in the board to do the work together to prevent a situation where the lost of one person leads into treatment disability of the LPD.

Coordinators

Are people or groups coordinating a region or a country. As local natives, they are first contact for organizers and interested persons on site. They communicate with the core organization in organizational measures and, if necessary, make adjustments, such as collected data submissions to LEO, and so on. They form the top of the support on the ground and thus relieve the core team.
