Mirek,
I like it. I'd personally feel comfortable about using it. I'm not
concerned with the use of a PO Box.

PS. Thanks. "It's better to light a candle than to curse the darkness
(Eleanor Roosevelt)."
PPS. You might change the phrase "become the
testing ground for technology-enabled direct democracy" to "become a testing ground for technology-enabled direct
democracy."

Dear all:
This is almost emergency. I have created in hurry the enclosed little
pamphlet. Just a very basic information - it would be good to spread
the word about us among the young people. There are actually two copies
placed on a single (letter-size) page. I added a POBox address if
somebody wanted to contact us by ordinary mail. Is this necessary? Do
you suggest instead any other postal address?
Are there any suggestions for how to improve the wording of the text?
I'll wait till July 3 (Monday is holiday here - Canada Day) for your
suggestions. If I don't get overall disapproval by Tuesday with this
action, I'll mail the required 350 copies to Mr. Raj Shekhar Chandola
to the address given below. It could still get there in time.
Alternatively, if somebody from Europe wanted to print this pamphlet
(175 pages, then cut them in half) and mail it to Mr. Chandola, it
would be appreciated as it would get there faster. If that person would
want to consider the expenses incurred with this mailing as donation to
WDDM, it would be duly noted in our financial statements at
http://www.world-wide-democracy.net/forum/read.php?16,158,158#msg-158
Looking forward to your further suggestions on this matter.
Mirek

All friends on this list
As I may have mentioned before, Yours truly has been invited to give
the Keynote address at the University of Pecs during International
Culture Week in Pecs (www.icwip.hu <http://www.icwip.hu>) where
300 students from more 40 countries will be coming together from 19th
to 29th July.
On Friday, 27th July an "NGO Market" will be held at ICWiP where we
have booked four tables for displaying literature about CMS and our
partner organizations. We plan to prepare 350 envelopes and distribute
them to all participants. We are including a paper ballot for Vote
World Government and would also like to include something on SIMPOL, if
*John* could help provide it. Also, the organizers have welcomed the
idea of promoting peace organizations and are willing to provide as
much space as we want. I think it will be great if *Rasmus* could try
to come to this NGO market use the event to enlist more youth for his
World Parliament Experiment, as he did so successfully at ISFiT.
If anyone on this list would like us to include some pamphlet /
brochure of your organization in this info-pack, please send 350 copies
of the same to the following address before 15th July 2007.
If you cannot send 350 copies but would like to send a few posters /
pamphlets / folders for displaying at our stall, you are all most
welcome. Please mail your literature to the following address so as to
reach before 15 July 2007

*Antonio, Brian, Cees, Chris, Didier, Doug, Garry, Hugh, Jim, John,
Ken, Liliane, Michael, Mikael, Phillip, Rasmus, Rob, Sabzali, Steve,
Wes, Wolfgang* and other friends on this list, don't miss this chance
to present your ideas to hundreds of students from so many countries.
In Norway I learned that youth who got involved with peace
organisations at ISFiT 2003 are still working for them in places like
Chechenya, Moscow, Pakistan and India.

Post Script -
On 17th July the Cornell University Centre for Documentation of
American Law will be dedicated in Paris. To mark the occasion they are
holding a Conference of Chief Justices of USA, UK and European Union
the same day. I have been trying to get an invite to this meeting but
they are not responding. Mr Gandhi says go nevertheless and try to
personally distribute invitations to all these chief justices. If
anyone on this list will be in or around Paris at this time (or in
Hungary from 19 to 29 July) I would be happy to meet you. Also, Rob
can you contact the people who helped Liliane with Justice
Weeramantry's press conference in Paris. It will be great if I could
find someone to help and/or a place to stay for a night.
