<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just one point I don't agree with you : Paris is'nt
such an expensive city ! It's (far) less expensive that Geneva and much more
funny ! And you can really enjoy this fun because -unlike in Geneva- it's
affordable.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So please don't worry : you'll be fairly well
there. At least I hope so.</FONT></DIV>

Intersessional Volunteer Monitors</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>14 May 2003<BR><BR>Dear Friends,<BR><BR>In follow-up to my last
message, I wanted to put out an appeal to those who might be attending the
Paris intersessional to be the "eyes and ears" for the rest of us. As at the
last Prepcom, I am willing to volunteer to coordinate an NGO Monitoring Group
for the July meeting if that is acceptable to everyone. However I can not do
it alone.<BR><BR>If you or one of your colleagues coming to Paris can work
with me on the note-taking, compiling and disseminating of reports from the
intersessional, please be in touch with me. I believe this reporting is a
critical function for us to play, since I am sure some governments are
counting on the fact that much fewer NGOs will be able to attend the
intersessional in such an expensive city during the height of the tourist
season. The only way all our voices can be heard is if groups around the world
know what is going on in a timely manner.<BR><BR>Even if you yourself can not
help, if you have ideas or contacts with other groups of students or
volunteers who might be able to help in July, please pass along that
information to me.<BR><BR>Regards to all,<BR><BR>Rik Panganiban<BR>Special
