---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Miguel Braganza <[email protected]> Date: 2009/1/16 Subject: Draft Resolutions for Gram Sabha meetings during January, 2009 To: Save Goa <[email protected]>
Dears, Below are some draft resolutions that can be adapted and adopted as per the choice of each Gram Sabha. There are more in the attachment. The Saligao Gram Sabha will be meeting on Sunday, 18 January, 2009. So is the one in Navelim. Some other Panchayats will be meeting later this month or in early February, 2009. These draft resolutions the product of interaction among various village groups and back-and-forth revision with inputs from Mr. Aravind Bhatikar, Sabina Martins, Abhijit Prabhudesai, Geraldine Fernandes, Reboni Saha, Soter D'Souza, Miguel Braganza and others. They are indicative, not exhaustive. Each Gram Sabha is free to re-draft them or change them altogether to meet its needs. In fact, some groups have already circulated their own drafts saying more of less the same thing. It is important to give 72 hours [3 days] advance notice to the Panchayat of the proposal to move the resolution or discuss the issue. Last moment resolutions are okay if the Panchayat is cooperative. These resolutions are circulated in public interest. No credit is sought or expected. If the character of each village is protected, each one of us will have a better Goa. Therein lies the common interest of all those who love Goa.
