Saturday

Today's meeting started with a presentation by Sherman from China, who I had met in Malaysia. He is the deputy chair but the Chair who is a model and TV presenter sent a video greeting. Unfortunately it was displayed sideways without any sound. When Sherman said that they had about 60 members, most of whom were in IT and male, it was obvious why she was elected.

His presentation was very good after that with the potential for growth there explosive. They could easily get a seat on Excomm which requires over 10000 members within 4 or 5 years and have developed strategies for restricting growth rather than maximising it.

We had more discussion on the culture of the organisation and using social media as well as a closed session and other session where motions were discussed and voted. One controversial issue required 3 or so counts before they were satisfied that they got it right.

Not many Pics to day but I did get one of the flags in front of the hotel. I noticed they were a bit worse for wear and the Greek one in particular had a tear as well as frayed edges. I call this photo. "It is not just their economies that are in tatters"
