RE: Annual PMN conference?

Salaams to everyone,

The annual conference in DC last year was definitely meant to be a yearly
conference.  The initial plan was to have a second annual conference that
would concentrate on women's issues from a progressive perspective. 
However, last year, I carried much of the responsibility of the
conference on my shoulders and prefer that I work with a group of people
for the next conference.  I love your idea Ahmed and am definitely going
to join the list for the conference and hopefully we all can together
oragnize a conference for late this year or early next year.

Saadia
