RE: [dsaw-program] Western Samoa travel to the Workshop

["Dee Schur" <dee.schur@oasis-open.org>]

As it stands we have 3500USD in pledged sponsorship which will cover coffee
and light breakfast fare. We can not finance the reception yet.
I have called and emailed about 50+ companies with so many maybe? It seems
like everyone is just waiting to see the final exhibitors.
I will finish calls (with follow-up emails) on Monday, and then we see. The
problem is how long can we wait for her to prepare travel docs?

Subject: [dsaw-program] Western Samoa travel to the Workshop

At WSIS last year in Tunis I met Ms. Purcell who has the task to set up
public warning for Western Samoa. 

I would appreciate if anyone can offer ideas on how Western Samoa could get
support for travel to the Workshop. 

Here is her e-mail to me:
