Thanks Judith, I forgot to add it in the minutes!
*Next Skype meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday 17th of July 2013,
at the usual time (3pm GMT).*
Thanks also for the following text, that I ask everyone to check and
eventually amend within tomorrow night, 4th of July. *It is a solidarity
message that we agreed to write today. When we finalize it, it can
circulate in our lists and be disseminated in Iraq (we'll need to make
an Arabic translation).*
I suggest that we add to this statement signatures of the International
Committee for the ISF only, and we spread it asap, since it's a very
simple message. What do others think?
If you agree with the text please confirm if we can add your
endorsement! I can collect signature, but I need:
NAME AND SURNAME; ORGANIZATION; COUNTRY
Best

The International Solidarity Committee of the World Social Forum is
supporting the preparation of the first Iraqi Social Forum, scheduled to
take place in Baghdad on 26-28 September 2013.
One of the key aims of the ISF (Iraqi Social Forum) is to build peace
and overcome all forms of violence in Iraq. The very fact that the ISF
is still scheduled to take place in the face of the current wave of
bombings is in itself not only a challenge, but a way of defying this
violence and proving that peace and another Iraq are possible.
As International Solidarity Committee, we strongly condemn all the
current acts of violence, and particularly those heinous acts that have
targeted children and youth practicing sport and other peaceful activities.
