i am sorry for a delayed response - but as i said, i am quite busy with my
activity on the charter change and parties, with NDI.
i am now sending my answers to the "matrix". i hope you get this one ok.
my concern about the structure is that it somehow omits the texture and
flavour of the essay and the specific construction of the realities in a
society. however, i understand that for the asean activity, this is what
we could do so far....
best,
chiqui
