Dear Gabe,
Let me repeat my incomplete message, and add to it:
Dear Gabe,
To the best of my knowledge, no law governs who may or may not organize a
Goan Convention. I did not question Casa de Goa's authority to organize it in
Lisbon; I just went, participated, and contributed to the best of my ability.
In Lisbon, when Kevin mooted the idea of holding it in Toronto this year,
enthusiasm was running high, and many people thought it was an excellent idea.
I thought so too.
In Toronto, Renee announced his intention to hold it in London next year.
Cornel takes umbrage at it, and perhaps some others will. Commissioner Faleiro
has apparently announced that it will be held in Australia. He certainly has
the right to hold a convention wherever he feels it should be held, but the
Goan International Convention is not a Government enterprise, even though the
Goa Government does support it with funds whenever it is held; and it should
never be an official Government enterprise, because then it will be politicized
and eventually wither on the vine.
Very best regards,
Victor
