I appraise the organisers of this meeting to publish a feed back in this forum after the event is over.

[colnrkurup]

There were promisses to give a feed back. In fact I got a personal e-mail also to that effect. But nothing heard subsequently. As I had mentioned earlier some non-members of this forum is using it for free publicity of their so called "RTI awareness campaign. May be funded by................... Should a very clean forum like us become party to it.?

[karira]

Why don't you send a reminder to the person you sent the email to earlier ?

[kushal]

Has there been any response?

[colnrkurup]

Absolutely No as expected. I think my open comment has made some effect. Now a days I am not hearing of any such awareness campaign. Good riddence.
