Re: [WDDM] Quick action required ..... pamphlet to approve/improve

Antonio, Mirek, Bruce and friends
Thanks Bruce for triggering this and thanks Mirek for creating the pamphlet.
I think everyone on this list who is preparing something should also email a
copy to me (the final draft) which I will print and take with me so that I
have a copy at least if the postal packet doesn't arrive in time or cannot
located.
Actually there is plenty of time since the NGO market is on 27th July but I
don't want to take chances because once the festival starts it becomes
difficult to trace posted material. Garry Davis had mailed a new version of
the WorldCitizen's passport to me at ISFiT Norway but I didn't get it and it
has not yet been traced, even though it was received at the ISFiT
secretariat.
For those friends on this list who are not on the google list of Community
of World Citizens and may not know about ISFiT - the International Students
Festival in Trondheim, I am attaching compiled version of the daily reports
I use to email to all CWC members.  Portions of this report started a very
envigourating discussion between several of us including Antonio, and a wide
spectrum of opinions were expressed.  The debate was cut short when my
father expired and I went off-email for 15 days.
One of these days when I can find the time, I would like to add the entire
thread of those discussions to this Report.  The questions Antonio raised
deserve to be addrerssed but perhaps in different tone and terminology.
Ciao,
Raj
