Dear Vasco, As we write, Winifred is perhaps off this forum already, based on her request. Personally, it is not possible for me to take on a role because from September I won't be physically here. However, I did say I would be willing to work with the executive if they organize a general meeting before September. For me the most important issues is about setting a working Secretariat that can take on the day-to-day business that we would like to take on as WNF, including taking care of the small monies that people are perhaps willing to offer. If they are not willing to go this way, then a volunteer adhoc group can come up to constitute a new body to do something.
Let's see what the others dare say or don't dare say.
