Dear all,

The next WTO Ministerial will take place in Hong Kong in December of 2005.

No doubt asian social movements will be making every effort to get their
people there, as will all of the alternative communication networks.

I think that OM should meet just before the Ministerial, which would
both fill our goal of meeting in the asian region and make it so that
media activists from elsewhere, who probably won't have resources to
travel to the region twice in one year, won't have to choose between OM
and playing our role in the convergence outside the Ministerial.
