I sent the following to ACA HQ in Switzerland this morning. Anyone else with ideas or comments, kindly feel free to write us or ACA directly.

8 November 2006

Greetings from ACA in Thailand. I know you are busy:

1. But - much of the information in the text for Partnering for Progress is very out of date; for example, citing something that will occur in 2000.

2. I am wondering, for example, how perhaps overseas Americans might be able to contribute more fully to ACA updates, perhaps similar to those done by Wikipedia, except that an ACA moderator in Geneva/Washington, etc., finalizes and approves the posting before it is put online.

3. Also, I am wondering about an overseas Americans linkup with home-based Americans in their respective states to coordinate important issues for both the American at home and the one abroad. This partnership can improve communications and hopefully lead to better and more effective coordination and congressional action.

4. I also think we need an ACA blog. Check out this local blog at http://www.koratfarang.com/board/ It is really well-orgnized, looks good and works. I can talk with the moderator if you wish to see about the code, or you may already have an alternative in mind...

Thanks from the Land of Smiles.
