CLosing the process

["Patrick O'Brien" <p.o.brien@domainz.net.nz>]

Please,

Excuse my frustration from afar,

Can some appointed spokesperson for IFWP tell me three things,

1.	Will this meeting take place?

2.	When will this meeting take place?

3.	Where will this meeting take place?

Getting tickets from NZ at very short notice to a destination yet to be 
decided, for a date, yet to be decided, is an exceptionally difficult task.

Please, the facts, we need to lay some plans, I'll need to be leaving here in 
14 days....

My regards,

Patrick

We have only two weeks to conclude the work of the steering committee.  Those 
two weeks should be spent on

1.	arranging a venue for the Boston wrap-up conference
2.	arranging funding for that conference
3.	publicizing that conference
4.	co-ordinating with those organizing the "editorial" meeting
5.	completing the funding of the previous IFWP conferences

As a very interested observer, I have to agree that this *has* to be key 
priority of the organising team right now.

I still do not know, If it really is going to happen, when this will be, where 
this will be, for how long it will take, what the agenda is, what outcome is 
expected, what pre-meeting papers we will need to consider.

I also am unclear as to the same kind of information regarding the 
"pre-meeting".

I will re-iterate my support for such a meeting if its aim is to pull together 
and shrink down all the good work of prior regional meetings and distil the 
(growing) number of draft Articles/rules now in play.

Notwithstanding, I do belive that the output of that pre-meeting needs to be in 
the hands of attendees at the final (please) meeting 5 working days before in 
order that we can form a view prior to Boston.

My regards,
