husband, Jairo, works for Statistics South Africa and they are organising the
next International Statistical Conference in South Africa in 2009. He has
written to me asking for someone who can make a presentation on indicators from
the perspective of the South. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

working on the Climate Change group might be able to suggest someone who could
be formally invited to attend the conference in SA. Below I copy some
information that can guide the decision on who that person can be.
