And so - As we've seen, a lot of water has flowed under this bridge, but
so far were all at the language debate forum still.  I honestly believe
this will be resolved by the will of the people, anyway, and all the
diverse and fascinating discussion about Esperanto - Loglan - signing -
and all the other alternatives will not prove as authentic as this in
the final analysis.  As someone has remarked already, English appears to
be already the informal choice - but no one has yet been able to bring
this idea to the UN,for obvious reasons.  There at least, time moves at
a slower pace, as the wheels of official representation of national
interests must be seen to be observed, and there will need to be voting
or other agreements by each single nation, prior to their representatives
at the UN being able to agree to such a concept. First we have to bring
this idea sufficiently to national level attention!  There may be a long
road to walk before foreign nations are able to assess and report on this.
Are you interested in assisting this or other aspects of the GlobalCP
concept, either informally through the discussions, or in some other
more formal way - which you may be able to initiate.  Your views of
interest.  Melcir Erskine-Richmond
