> I have already sent a disclosure to dri with a personal introduction, and
I sketched the group of people in Nepal who are involved who I know of. I
think
> that dri will be forwarding it to the New List. I have contacted the
people in Nepal and asked them to introduce their group. They have been
organizing

over the initiative of the organization of the IMC there, although I will
give

about creating a non-profit organization here to provide support to both
> organizations and try to arrange a wider south asian network of IMCs.

> I clearly understood the reason for the disclosure when I received it in
an e-mail. Nobody involved is with the Maoists, and all of them are
independent of
> various parties, meaning they are not cadres or leadership.
>
> I think that it was decided that Dr. Mathura Shrestha "Mathura Shrestha"
<mathura at healthnet.org.np> in Kathmandu will be the point person there. He
has
> been involved with Physicians for Social Responsibility, Forum for
Protection of Human Rights, founded the Bajrabarahi People's Hospital, was
the minister
> of health in the interim government in  1990, and edits a critical medical
journal. He retired from the director of the Department of Family Health
> Community Medicine where he always understood that medicine is political
and where he nurtured the development of many activist young people who have
gone
> to do many things in the Nepal. He is very democratic and aware of
political ramifications and dangers of things.
>
> I have attached the relevant excerpt from a letter from Mathura below from
a day or two below. I think that he may be mixing up the listserve and
designing
> the IMC  website in the letter, due to a suggestion in which I said that
they might want to control or vet the access to the listserve or discussion
group
> membership so security etc. won't be using it to take down names etc. from
the discussions going on there.

> larger community, about 50 initially, of HR activists, journalists,
writers
> and so on. It will of course be open to all for information but without an
> access to add or change the contents.

> Kindly send pass words and key words for IMC-Nepal you have opened. It
will

> and send by e-mail it will be very nice.
