e-mail from Ian Lising.
e-mail from Ian Lising, chair of the World Debating Council
Dear All,
Greetings to all. I look forward to sharing the experience of Worlds with most
of you at UBC in a few weeks time. Attached is the initial agenda for the 2007
World Council meeting. If you wish to add to the agenda, you may forward your
request to your national/regional reps or any other executive committee member
so that they may contact me with it.
Additionally, I would like to ask if there are any institutions interested in
bidding to host Worlds 2009. Please contact me at your earliest convenience as
there are several concerns that we must discuss. As it stands now, Worlds 2009
is in peril.
I am hereby commissioning the Worlds Regional reps (IONA, Europe, Asia, Oceania,
Africa and the Americas) to begin a hard feasibility search for potential hosts
within their spheres of influence.
Let's be realistic. Worlds has become a complicated and difficult undertaking.
But at the end of the day, it is a week-long debating tournament. The goal is
not to outdo the previous year (which UCD, UBC, and Assumption seem to make
extremely difficult), but to run an efficient and accessible event for us to all
experience.
I know that realistically, the lead time for this is relatively short but then
again, this is as much time as I have been given.
Thanks very much for your kind attention. I look forward to receiving word from
the potential bidders.
Cheers,
Ian Lising
