Half of the MC is already in Melbourne, sitting around the pool table in Daz`s house and and enjoying the high speed wireless :)!
Today - Me, Chloe, Lucy and Kate left our cold, but lovely house in Sydney and took a flight to Melbourne. We had Daz waiting us in the gate and we got a lovely tour with Daz`s van.
Melbourne is wonderful!
Now we can feel that the conference is almost here already...the excitement and tension in the room is getting higher and higher.
We cant wait to see you all!!!

So have you read the delegate handbook already?
Have you reached to the MC quiz?
So what is 3 red heads, 2 dark heads, 2 blond heads, 12 blue eyes, 2 brown eyes, 3 shorties and 4 tall ones + one Greece?
Off course this is the diversity in MC team:
3 read heads - Kate, Elo and Daz
2 dark heads - Anne and Kristina
2 blonds - Lucy and Chloe
12 blue eyes - everyone except the Greece.
2 brown eyes - Greece.
Figure out who is Greece :P.

Congratulations Darren and Lucy!
Also need to give a big congratulations to Daz for his selection onto the Talent Management Unit. This team is one of the most active virtual teams and assists the AIESEC International VP PD in driving talent management strategies globally.
Well done!
Well done!
Congratulations to Lucy - selected onto the International Ethics Sub-Committee!
Hey everyone!
We learned late last week that our dear VP-Projects, Ms. Lucy Symons, was selected onto the International Ethics Sub-Committee on the Education team! She'll be responsible for bringing the code of ethics to the forefront of discussion across the network!!!
The Sub-Committee is comprised of two sub-teams: a case solving and an education team. Lucy joins 2 other people on the education team. Their first meeting is on Tuesday at 12am Sydney time (that's Wednesday morning - I always get that mixed up). The poor thing, it seems all her virtual meetings will be at ridiculous times like these...
We're very proud of you Lucy to represent Australia like this - you are the first of many Australian AIESECers to get involved globally like this in a year that Australia will make it's presence in the global network felt.
Cheers,
- Daz

The most difficult decision yet... the ordering of MC Hoodies
Today we had to make one of the most important decisions of our term and I am concerned about its indication on the rest of our year :-S
In deciding on the ever important MC item for 07-08 we came down to the last 20 minutes before the decision deadline arguing over the colour of our zip up hoodies and the writing.
I learnt some key things today that will affect my working style in the future:
a) Despite Kate's size she is a manipulative non-ethical dictator :-)
b) If its not Kate's way its the high way
c) Despite having a majority in votes for the pale blue hoodies our team was overuled by this powerful, malicious dictator.
The other options of grey or navy blue were boring and basically ask for us to be run over by a car. Remember grey cars are at the most accident prone on the road cause they just "blend into the background!" Our MC doesn't just blend in - we stand out and lead by example.
d) After trying to negotiate with her on getting grey hoodies with hot pink writing, so we dont blend into the carpet at conference, our leader went ahead and ordered what she wanted.
Tsk tsk tsk
What happened to the non-political, equality for all organisation that we are part of?
I pose this ethical dilemma to you all...

I was sitting in the Board Room (ready for a 9:30am meeting - yep I was a bit early) and then I hear a SCREAMMM!!! OHHH MYYY GODDD!!! Ruthie emerged from the Cool Office, tears in her eyes, the biggest smile on her face, it was beautiful.
This is on top of a number of other great next steps for the outgoing MC:

Nudie Day!
Hey everyone,
It was a day of full-fledged meetings in the office today, which was very hard on us elects. We had a run through of MelCon (MAKE SURE YOU ALL REGISTER) and our national plan (BASED ON THE WONDERFUL CSFs WE ALL CHOSE - thanks guys for choosing the most awesome ones), a chat about legislation, and a big meeting on Semester 2 recruitment!
So as you could imagine, very intense.
But we were welcomed by the arrival of NUDIE. You know, the juice?! Well, dear Chloe wrote in about us being passionate Nudie lovers, and we were lucky enough to win a one-month supply of Nudie juice! Needless to say, now we all love Nudie!
