<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">As I
mentioned in my last note, I won’t be at Wednesday’s meeting; but I wonder if I
could please ask to have the following two points included:</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">1.<SPAN

offer to teach should be titled “Introduction to Humanitarian Studies”. (Details
in my last note).</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">2. I
would just like to emphasize that if anyone does take an interest in the
People’s Constitution (mentioned in my last note) that I personally would have
no special control on the project. I simply offer the work I’ve already done as
a possible framework, a working document that might be used as a starting point.
Whilst I would be very happy to co-ordinate and administer the project, and
would obviously take part in the debates, I would have no more decision-making
authority, or ownership of the finished article, than anyone else involved with
it.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">The
other point I would like to re-emphasize is that this project could include
anyone at SSC, from scholars who have just left school to those with years of
professional or academic careers behind them. Much of it is entirely new, highly
ideological and potentially as important as Magna Carta, if not even more so;
and the more people involved with its design the better – as the name
suggests.</FONT></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS">So
because of its highly inclusive nature for anyone interested in any of the
social sciences, and because of its original, radical and idealistic intentions,
I suggest it would be a fairly good theme for a talk/discussion.</FONT></P>
