Interesting point, I think many of us forget the technical limits in
other parts of the world. Maybe one person at Adyar would be able to
bring in the list and then distribute it locally across their
internal network or by hard copy.

I agree that this communnication is vital for the health of the
orgainzations. I was on the national Executive in New Zealand in the
80's and worked on the same floor as the Australian section for a few
years in the 90's and from my experience there isnt a lot of
information coming from the International body and I suspect the
national body is so busy but that it doesnt "pester" (for the want of
a much better word) HQ for more info. I reckon the individuals need
to ask more of their sections on this. This might be the only way the
National bodies will persist in getting info from HQ.
