I apologise too, to Richard and others on this list, for my hostile reaction. To speak of baseless assertions was quite unnecessary and unfounded. I regret having intruded on your work in such an unpleasant manner.

Thanks, Peter, all's well that ends well.

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks for inviting me to join the Credit Bank Model group.

  I think the inclusion of cooperatives in your model is a good idea, and I like your collaborative approach to the fine-tuning process.

  However, although I’m keen to support work such as yours, I’m unable at present to make a commitment to actively participate in discussions.   

  I’d like to follow developments though, so have bookmarked the group site.

 

If members would like relevant books and DVDs etc I may be able to assist in that way.  For example, I recently received a booklet titled The Resilience of the Cooperative Business Model in Times of Crisis, an excellent up to date report produced by the International Labour Organisation.  I think it can be downloaded from their website – or you could ask Carlien van Empel at the ILO if she would post you a printed copy. vane...@ilo.org.

  I’m happy for participants to contact me if there’s anything I could contribute on an occasional basis.

 

Kind regards,

Helen

Hi Helen,

Thanks for your message. I found the booklet and uploaded to our files section...
