What were the expat and diaspora issues discussed at the Goanetters' meet? Is the presentation paper, in text or pdf, available to those like me who were not present? The Pravasi Bharatiya Divas is to be held from Jan 21 to 23 in Varanasi, and specific issues relating to NRI or Overseas Goans can be highlighted at the event. Goa Sudarop can route such questions through the California Goan Association, which is the represenative body. Or, Goan associations in the USA can collectively post a list of questions to the PBD Secretariat. Goan associations in Canada can do so likewise. Below is the address, and also the email.

I saw the name of Zulema D'Souza, the president of the International Goan Organisation (IG0), on the list of those registered to attend the Goanetters' Meet. One could suggest to IGO to act on such matters if only it was practically alive. Eugene Correia Sent from my iPad
