1) Communication: How to reach all ICT PhD students?
Baki will set up a Facebook group for the ICT PhD council. Magnus will send the introduction email with both the Facebook group link and the blog link to the doktorander mailing list. News about the upcoming BBQ plan will also be included. We will also consider sending the meeting minutes every month to the mailing list. Stefano will contact the admin in order to add the blog link to the THS website.



2) Improving organization of ICT PhD courses
Currently there are 4 study plans that apply to ICT PhDs. It is not clear which student should follow which plan because the areas overlap. Council members will check their study plans & Ladok for relevant information and report back.


3) E-voting
Baki will contact IT to find a sustainable solution for hosting the elections.

4) Other Issues
Olof will clarify funding issues for student activities organized by the council. Preliminary date for the BBQ is May 21st.
