Reply N° 2: (...)
Your comments on the Belgian
Educational System are inappropriate as such, and insulting for my
Countries Cultural Communities in charge. The qualification “people in
my category” is at the least discriminating and abusive in terms.
Any
further harassment, insult, threat or slander will be legally taken care
of.

The Table shall be
presented and publicly analysed during the NewPOL Network International Press
Conference.
***
Short-circuiting The Establishment may seem necessary if The System remains an impediment
to the practical applications of the NewPOL Network Paradigm. An appeal to the general public (who
is after all directly concerned) shall be organised through the general media, press,
shows,
concerts, lectures, interviews, expositions, telethon, ...
***
The NewPOL Network - a Network of networks - is acquiring a
huge database. Offices must be enlarged and further administrative
assistance is needed, adequate feedback and information exchange
between the Directorate in Brussels, the National Coordinating Teams and the public must be assured and secured
across frontiers, Public Relations Networks need to be created, hardware and new
software shall be needed, etc...
The Principal Coordinator and all the
National Coordinating Team Leaders and Members have all a right to a salary for
their work in the NewPOL Consortium Network. Everyone is using part of their own
financial resources/salary, some of their "free" time and work after
hours with no help whatsoever.
This is becoming intolerable.
Many in our group (including myself) have received
"invitations" for academic presentations and/or to participate and expose the
NewPOL Network's ideas
in meetings that are held in different countries. These "invitations"
would also enable us to find more business partners and sponsors. Unfortunately, as long
as we do not have sufficient financial resources, many of these
"invitations" shall have to be turned down, closing many venture
capital opportunities.
Some kind of Financial Pool seems therefore necessary
and the NewPOL Consortium Network Foundation has been created for this purpose.
The NewPOL Network Foundation
consists of the Common Financial Pool and the National
Financial Pool.
There are different ways to contribute to the NewPOL Network Foundation:
The above Contracts are open to everyone,
any company and in any field: (academic) business(wo)men, artists, gastronomy, booksellers,
biotechnology, restaurants, hotels, travel agencies, film
producers, renewable energies, ICT, industries, food chain, ...
Each of the above six links
(Sponsors - AdvCs - BusCs - ResCs - Grants - Donations) have their own web page.
Sponsors are divided into
Categories depending on the contribution. Discussions are under way.

Financial support may be sent in two
different ways:
