[Amit Basole]

Dear all

might be of interest to participants of the Sarai list. Thank you,

Amit


* ***ANNOUNCING A GLOBAL PEACE CONGRESS LIKE NO OTHER****

* Congress of Planetary Initiatives*

* Marriot University Park Hotel,** **Salt Lake City** , Utah, USA** *

* August 24-26 2007*

* www.congress2007.net*



The * Purpose* of this unique *Global Gathering* is to foster serious and
immediate *Dialog*, in the hope of maintaining it on a continuing basis
thereafter, between all the extant *Paradigms/ World-Views/ Interests /
Ideologies* that have divided the Human World into disparate, and often
feuding, Sectarian Groupings. The Dialog will be, thereby, between the
varied Polarities instituted by Geography, Gender, Ideology, Ethnicity,
Language, Philosophy, Religion, Culture, and Politics ( e.g. East-West,
Men-Women, Tradition-Modernity, Conservative-Radical, North-South, etc.).

The * Object* is to locate all possible *Areas of Agreement* that can serve
to foster a World-Wide Affiliation of Peoples who can, while maintaining and
respecting * Difference*, sincerely find *Common Cause* that will sustain
the continued existence of Planetary Life forms under threat today by both
Violence and Greed. The Congress will * Adopt appropriate Resolutions*, both
collectively and separately, in all spheres, including Plans for instituting
Means, Mechanisms, and Modalities to realize them, in a consilient Spirit of
Consensus, and establish the basis for future expansion of the Areas of
Mutual Agreement in Ideas, Visions, and Possibilities.



* CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS*

We are currently soliciting * Applications *for *Participants* to enhance
the nature of Dialogue at this unique *Global Peace Congress* to be held in
* Salt Lake City, Utah from August  24-26, 2007.* We have on board
outstanding and distinguished *Panelists*, drawn from all over the
world, who will, it is hoped, in a highly * personal, dynamic interactive
process* with invited Participants, arrive at *new salves for old global
problems*.

Whilst *Panelists *will lead discussions, Participants will have a vital
role to play as well in debating and challenging Panelists, with *Final
Resolutions being a truly Collective Effort* of the gathering as a whole.
Full details of the *Program* as well as  names of all *Attending
Panelists*may be viewed at
*www.congress2007.net* <http://www.congress2007.net/>]

At this point we are provisioned for * 300 Participants* only, selected from
around the world. Applications will be reviewed on a *first come/first
processed* basis. The Application form and further details are available on
our website. Applicants are asked   to indicate their background, their
Interest in, and rationale for, participation, and their ability to fund it
on their own account. Questions and queries may be addressed to
participants2007 at gmail.com
.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many to be proximate with some
amazing people, aside from being able to directly  help address major issues
confronting the world today. We look forward to your participation in this
event.
