Michel, your point is very pertinent because at the heart of this discussion
is the issue of inclusion. The discussion has a broad relevance that is
important to share with a more extensive set of people including the users
of click4Hp and other servers. This discussion is also timely and I agree
that we must be careful not to let WHO down in our willingness to
constructively criticize. I will disseminate the dialogue so far and ensure
that further discussion has a broader audience.

 

For my part, I can think of nothing to inspire WHO and to contribute to the
quality of this process more than a sober reflection of precisely how its
outcome will lead to the alleviation of poverty, inequality and misery in
the world. The questions we pose in the Open Letter begin to make a
constructive contribution to the debate on this issue in advance of the
conference.

 
Glenn.

*** Hi Don, Ron and Glenn,

 

As Ron and Glenn message was also posted on Click4Hp, I would encourage you
to post the discussion below there as well because now it takes place just
among the IUHPE leadership whereas I think it has a much more global
importance. Ron, as your original message was sent to a more extensive set
of people, I think you should disseminate the discussion below in the same
way because these are crucial times and we must be careful not to let WHO
down in our willingness to criticize it strongly. In the more general order
of things, WHO is an ally more than an enemy (see also the last comment of
Maurice that will be posted today on RHPEO)! I also think the reasons why
the Ottawa Charter did catch on are a bit different. See my posting of today
on RHPEO as well.

 

Michel. ***
