Dear fellow CDS citizens and here especially dear RA members,
the SC has requested by the RA to retire the law CDSL 16-07 Scientific Council Affirmation Procedures Act because its content is not conformous with the Constitution:

I will put this topic on the agenda for the next RA meeting, so please read the law and compare it with the corresponding Constitition article. Our vote should have a solid rationale.
Thank you,
Almut
LRA
