It can have a positive effect if the consultation is over email or during their private visits home. However, if the NRGs will be expected to attend the Board of Directors meetings as required by law, I do hope the NRI Commissioner makes provision for their travel reimbursement from the Central Government funds. It is bad enough paying for the foreign jaunts of resident Goan members of the Corporation Boards and for NRIs to be hosted at the NRI Gomant Vishwa Sammelans held in 2005 to 2007 ...which were basically a native event, with or without a dozen NRI Goans. I do hope the deliberations will be held in Goa's Official Language, Konkani, and the minutes recorded in Devanagri as recommended by Prof Eduardo Faleiro for the better education of Goans, including NRIs I believe. Let us see what happens. Mog asundi. Miguel Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 06:11:20 -0400 From: cpe0257u <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] open letter to the NRI Comissioner To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Would be grateful if you would consider the following for publication in your various venues.... Dear NRI Comissioner What a wonderful surprise to read in the news that you announced(at the conference in Toronto) that Goa would be the first state to appoint NRIs to various Boards and Corporations!...And I thought you never read my open letter to you on April 7th, 2008 published here on Goanet! I congratulate you for being receptive to and moving on ideas presented to you;as I mentioned in my previous letter to you, NRIs from all over have a lot to contribute and need not be physically present! So I shall watch with interest as you appoint good, creative and honest people to these posts. And do not forget to appreciate the Goan men and women from North America!
