[IRP] Suggestions for 10 IRP presentation and dissemination

[M I Franklin]

Dear All

I fully support Meryem's suggestions - practical as well as crucial for 
ensuring that the online presence of all things concerning this Charter 
corresponds with its raison d'?tre.

Re. helping out; I have a PDF_Maker facility here so can convert 
translations into PDF format. For the record, who is 
coordinating/moderating the dedicated website?

best

"It is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature,
without forming an opinion on them. On the other hand, it is perfectly
possible to sit all day, every day, on top of another creature and not have
the slightest thought about them whatsoever." (Douglas Adams)
