It was on a as-needed basis, and up to the chair.. but we did have some funding.<BR/><BR/>If funding is - scarce - then it would be good for the PC to know .<BR/><BR/>With funding available - we need to be strategic. Do we seek more participation from US based groups - one that perhaps haven't attended in the past, give the opportunity to foreign panelists to attend, or something in between.freedom4internethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16088633928723460244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892708975440570426.post-58537063463735818592008-03-23T20:34:00.000-07:002008-03-23T20:34:00.000-07:00On a different topic, I started up another thread ...On a different topic, I started up another thread on <A HREF="http://cfp08.blogspot.com/2008/03/potential-topic-voces-contra-la-farc.html" REL="nofollow">Voces Contra la FARC</A>.jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740980228561158001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8892708975440570426.post-47900910475002279672008-03-23T20:31:00.000-07:002008-03-23T20:31:00.000-07:00Excellent point, Giovanni -- and thanks for cross-...Excellent point, Giovanni -- and thanks for cross-posting on Facebook!
