<P>Dear comrades,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>I doubt I will be able to come to the congress, I'll check it out and I let you know.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>May I propose we meet before the congress to discuss the political developments and the issues that are at stake and to try to give some inputs to those who are going?</P>
<P>It is not yet an election of delegates but it could be an informal meeting.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Stefano Panozzo<BR><BR></P>
