[asia-apec 1107] Re: Final Report/contacts for June 18th

[PAN Asia Pacific]

Dear Mark,

The sum listed was for Malaysian ringgit.  It was only an
approximation because i wasn't sure wht the actual amount was.  RM
10,000 is about 1,500 pounds.

about june 18.  i'm sure the low response has little to do with
concerns about imperialism.  actually, the asia-apec listserv tends
to generate very little debate.  people post to it, but few people
ever respond.  it's a real problem.  i think part of the reason is
that it's fairly big and has tended to operate primarily as an
information list for people's assembly events.  but, at our last
meeting of the malaysian working committee, we discussed june 18
and we're trying to organise something for it-- most likely a forum
on the wto agriculture agreement.

glad you liked the report.

kind regards,

devlin

>>Dear yap swee seng,
>>
>>Thanks very much for sending the Final Report, which I found fascinating and
>>inspiring.
>>
>>I was a little concerned that you had listed the Network for Social Change
>>on the list of funders. I hadn't made it clear, but we do in fact have a
>>policy of not publicising ourselves in this way, mainly because we can't
>>accept unsolicited applications for funding; (every application needs a
>>Networker to sponsor it.) So apologies for not explaining that before, but
>>perhaps you could bear it in mind in future.
>>
>>By the way, the second attempt to pass the funds to you has been sent off by
>>now (I hope!) Please let me know when/if it reaches you. A figure of
>>'10,000' is mentioned in the letter accompanying the Report. Could you tell
>>me what currency that is? Thanks.
>>
>>And lastly, I was wondering if you have an electronic copy of the contacts
>>list at the back of the Report, because the June 18th networking group would
>>like very much to send them an invitation to participate. At the moment
>>there are over 35 countries from every continent involved (including South
>>Korea), but it would be great to see that rise! I would understand if this
>>was problematical in terms of security etc, but it would just save us many
>>hours of manual transcription...
>>
>>Anyway, good luck with everything,
