"Last year it returned to its roots in Brazil, but in 2004 it was held in Mumbai (Bombay) in India - and this year the organisers have decided to run a series of "polycentric" meetings - in Bamako, Mali (19-23 January), in Caracas, Venezuela (24-29 January), and later this year in Karachi, Pakistan (23-28 March).

A fourth event scheduled to take place in Bangkok, Thailand appears to have been cancelled."

???

Even the above list of meetings is a puzzle as the meeting has just opened in Nairobi.

Any erudite and informed TV menbers know what this is about? I know about the WSF, but the Bangkok bit?

For the full source see:

and also many reports on the South African Mail & Guardian's website, eg:

The forum itself is not primarily about Thailand, so not apparently relevant to this select forum. Besides, the focus of this year's meeting is Africa,

But, but the Bangkok bit?? Please? Any info?
