Saturday November 22nd.

is the earliert link, disapointing amount of feedback from social forum??
are groups sending back their feedback to ISF working group?
Politics aside. A few people are owed money from GR from ages ago (Justin Moran you still out there? You want to back this up?). Whats the story with their finances? Do they have a treasurer?
Agree with Dunk that the feedback from the Summit in UCD has been dissapointing. In fact apart from one or two first hand accounts there has been none.
Does the ISF intend to produce a report?
Of course this is all voluntary work, and everyone faces time constraints - I was just wondering, and I feel that some sort feedback from the ISF would be fairly important.
idea is that the hosts of the various workshops are sending / will send feedback to the dublin working group ,which will all get posted here.
in the meantime if anyone wants to post about anything they attended, particularly follow-up stuff, please go for it.include links or contact details, where possible, so interested people can get involved. ta.
I hope the hosts are being chased!
What will the Social Forum be?
Who are its members?
What are the rules?
Not aggressive - just, was there any discussion of the implications of the statement that the social forum must be registered?
I have all 5 plenaries recorded on minidisks. Just haven't had the time to do much with them but hopefully at some stage they will be available on the isf website to download. Anyone out there that wants to hear the minidisks give me a shout!
