THIRD AND FINAL REMINDER -
SUBSCRIPTION/MEMBERSHIP DUE!
Dear Colleague,
Membership and/or subscription to the Institute for Global Futures
Research (IGFR)/Global Futures Bulletin is now due.
************************************************
* If you have already sent a payment, please disregard this
* notice. Thankyou.
*
* If you do not wish to continue subscription or membership,
* there is no need to respond (you will automatically be deleted
* from the recipient list). Thankyou for your interest to date.
*************************************************
The Institute for Global Futures Research (IGFR) has now been
operating for over three years. Initial grant funding has now
finished. However, we remain optimistic that the work of the IGFR
will continue, and with more people involved in the research of
global futures.
Currently research groups are being formed in 40 areas. (These areas
are listed below for anyone interested in participating).
We hope to continue to encourage people from developing countries
(the Global Futures Bulletin is currently sent to 76 countries) to
participate in our research and debate, so we can benefit from a
greater diversity of worldviews.
As a community-based NGO, we hope the IGFR is offering global
perspectives that vary from university, government and corporate-
funded research institutes. It is important to remember that if the
IGFR is not able to secure adequate revenue from its members and
subscribers, it will be obliged to seek institutional funding and
corporate sponsorship, and suffer the possible constraints, subtle and
otherwise, this may involve.
Lastly, we would like to remind readers that we ask that the Global
Futures Bulletin not be reposted (on the Web or to other recipients) as
this undermines our potential to achieve financial self-reliance. If
you are involved with a group of people, you may subscribe jointly at
the library rate, and have each person receive the Global Futures
Bulletin directly (no matter where they are located).
We hope you benefit from this latest issue.
Thankyou for your continued interest and support.
Sincerely,
Geoff Holland, Director,
