German term

unter Angabe der Tagesordnung

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Lutheran church constitution
This is from the constitution of a group of Lutheran churches. I'm a bit puzzled by what this sentence is getting at.

"Von den Sitzungen wird ein Beschlussprotokoll erstellt. Die Verhandlungen sind in der Regel öffentlich. **Die Einladung erfolgt schriftlich durch den Vorsitzenden unter Angabe der Tagesordnung.** Außerordentliche Sitzungen müssen auf Verlangen von mindestens vier Mitgliedern des Kirchenvorstands einberufen werden."
Proposed translations (English)
4 +4 accompanied by the agenda
5 +6 "including the agenda"
4 with the agenda
3 with the agenda attached

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): David Moore (X)

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I think this should be non-pro though
Stephen Gobin Jan 19, 2009:
I think Rachel is predominantly a literary translator and may simply not have come across this before ?? Nothing more than that, I think.
Penny Hewson (X) Jan 19, 2009:
I'm not sure what the problem is here. Surely he just sends out the invitations with details of the agenda.

accompanied by the agenda

I think it is just saying "Invitations to attend meetings, accompanied by the agenda, are issued in writing by the Chair".

agree Heike Schwarz : this says the same as including, except that the style is better here

Agree, Heike, about it being the same. All three responses to date 'crossed'.

"including the agenda"

Hi Rachel,

I´ve come across this before and it´s basically a way of saying that the agenda must be included with, in this case, the "written invitation". I hope this helps :o)

Surely?

with the agenda attached

my preference is @attached@

The invitation, with the agenda attached, is issued by the Chairman (the passive rendition)

The chairman, attaching the agenda, issues the invitation... (the active rendition)
