Dear colleagues,

I just checked the Indonesian www-site of the Jakarta-Conference at:

http://www.depkes.go.id/moment/ichp.htm

and found the geographical distribution of the participants of the conference.

One third come from the 4 major English speaking countries, i.e. Australia,
Canada, UK and USA. Another one third come from Western European countries. And
the rest? Well, you've guessed it.

I find this geographical distribution more than amazing. A Global Event?

Any comments?

We trained hard - but every time we were beginning to form into teams
we would be restructured. I was to learn later in life that we tend
to meet any situation by restructuring ... and a wonderful method
it can be for creating an illusion of progress, while producing
confusion, inefficiency and demoralisation.
