1.4 E-MAILS RECEIVED

During these 9 months we have received 279 e-mails, of which we have answered 205.

Some messages dealt with consultations on the evaluation system; others of congratulation for the idea of evaluating the Alliance’s proposals, such as “Amigos e amigas da Aliança: Muito obrigado pelas preciosas informações que nos têm enviado. Grande abraço”; or “Estimados colegas de Alliance: Agradezco sigan enviándome estos materiales del Foro, a pesar de que no he aportado mucho al mismo, les doy utilidad para mis reflexiones laborales y personales.” There were some comments on the issue of the week such as education: “De toute évidence, l'éducation est le fondement même d'une vie sociale. Les êtres humains sont, dès leur naissance, guidés par des instincts - qui sont des instincts de survivance...”; water: “Dear colleagues, Without water there is no life. Today with water address not correctly, that can result in various sorts to diseases. The illnesses can be distributed both among the people, and among an animal and flora. It means accident. It will do to humanity very dearly…”; and also on art, food security, world governance, life privatisation and territory. Some critics on the text contents: “(SUR L’ÉDUCATION) Ce texte me semble présenter un problème dans son équilibre d'ensemble, ce qui en réduit la valeur et la portée comme base d'un dialogue constructif entre les divers partenaires intéressés par ces enjeux.” There were also comments on the lack of time to evaluate the proposals despite the interest that they awaken, e-mails announcing that the addressee is temporarily absent, etc.
