July Meeting Canceled: Green ORF Foundation Council Member Criticizes Chair's Scheduling

The cancellation of the upcoming July meeting of the ORF Foundation Council has sparked criticism from Hildegard Aichberger, a Green party member of the council. Aichberger expressed her disapproval in a letter to fellow council members, stating that the cancellation is "personally not good."

She argued that the timing is particularly problematic given the significant number of issues requiring the council's attention. Aichberger highlighted that the subsequent meeting, scheduled for August 11, is expected to be lengthy as it includes the appointment of 13 directors. Therefore, she stressed the importance of having a sufficiently long and properly scheduled session in July to address pending matters.

“

I personally do not think it is good.

The ORF Foundation Council's next meeting will now take place on August 11, where the selection of the 13 directors will be a primary agenda item. The cancellation has led to discontent among members who feel it hinders the council's ability to effectively manage its responsibilities.

“

Precisely because of the many topics we have to deal with, and because the next meeting for the appointment of directors will likely be too long, I would find a sufficiently dimensioned, proper meeting date important.
