During the year 1998, a big campaign of consultation among the allies on their vision of the assembly 2000-1 has been led. In parallel, a reflection took place, on how "to govern" the alliance, leading to the election of an "international team of facilitation" (EIF). This one met for the first time in Barcelona, in September 1999. This document presents a report of the main decisions descended of this meeting.

This one met for the first time in Barcelona, in September 1999. This document presents a report of the main decisions descended of this meeting, notably:
- the team's function is "to facilitate the relations and initiatives of the allies to clear the new stage of the alliance" together. It is well about a team of facilitation of the communication, the exchanges and the decision making between allies.
- the assembly of the alliance is conceived like a process of 2 years (2000-1) of which the point of organ will be the simultaneous holding of several international meetings in every continent, interconnected between them and that will be held around the solstice of the year 2001 (June 21).
- in the months that come, the allies must begin to distribute and to share their reflections, experiences and propositions.
- the allies are invited to imply itself/themselves as early as possible in the preparation of the assembly, notably by the means of an exchange from afar
- the EIF organized itself in 4 commissions to facilitate the work of the allies: Collected 2001; Communication; Methodology; Themes.
