Hello All

I think your email highlights a lack of clarity in our process
and we need to tighten that up as we clearly left the meeting
with different perceptions of what was agreed. 
Me memory was a local Bristol Dissent person and an outside person multicultural and the breif
was Anti Capitalist, Why They are opposed to the G8 without necessarily being part of Dissent
Thats the basis on which I have approached Usma with the consent of the meeting after a discussion
about Tom's ideas about approaching Turkish contacts. However I also remember that you were still
purusing Schnews and there had been discussion around Rob Newman.

So clear it up at the info group and maybe tighten our process up a bit.    

Still aint heard from Justin Alexander and in pursuit of African Initaitives but should get resolution
soon I hope .

21st Visit to the MX is still on and Lizzie is coming- they have sent a form through so we can pay deposit. I can
call Fri Pm . Mon Am to give them a reminder - 

Will put film update on the list after work

Ta for now
John

Hi
Still waiting for schnews to come back re opening session. Can John
clarify exactly what Usma may be speaking on if we agree, and where she's
coming from? Original thinking was speakers on 'Dissent'(generally &
Bristol?) and why we're anti-capitalist/what it means (see text on Dissent
website). May need to hold on this til we meet & decide at next Info meet
on 1 March.

John - what happened to the Jubilee person (sorry forgot name).

Have chased London Rising tide, hope for feedback by end week. If no go we
ask local person (Crash).

Main concern is the no borders/asylum presentation. Asked Ollie to raise
with CSC - has he??? Also now have a phone & email contact for Josh, who
wrote extensively on the recent bristol Columbian deportation case - but
have CSC contacted him?

Other unknown is Kiptik on the Zapatista uprising. Will chase Ben regards
this.

Lastly - draft publicity to take to Dissent meet on 22 Feb - has Paul/Jon
made any progress with posters? I think 606 has some ideas.

Is the visit to MX still ok for Mon 21st at 1pm? Be good to have a
catering rep there. Perhaps we should invite others who are interested -
maybe put the visit on the general list?

We have 6 and half weeks from 22 Feb to the info4action day....
