June 22, 2009 Planning Committee report;
The 6th International Dialog will be held November 18-21 2009 in Manila Philippines.  A web page will be set up at www.motherearth.ph  for logistical and programmatic information and registration.  Meeting rooms are near a nice inexpensive hostel for convenience.  There are many Hotels in the area.
On Wednesday afternoon the Zero Waste International Alliance will meet and deal with organization issues.  For the interim the committee has asked Laura Anthony to act as our network coordinator and executive director.  She has been maintaining the website (www.zwia.org) and will be needed to handle organizational and networking issues.  In the evening there will be a hosted reception.  We will try for the Palace.
On Thursday; we will have regional reports starting with the Philippines and then Asia and Australia and New Zealand (We need reports and speakers).We would like a high power luncheon speaker like Annie Leonard.
Rick will recruit speakers from the Americas, Maxine will work on Europe and we still need some volunteers to help us get speaker and reports from Africa, Asia and India.  Thursday evening could be a culture event (dinner and a program). 
On Friday; we want to focus on world climate change (there is an international ghg meeting in Copenhagen in December) and how zero waste best practices can help reduce ghg’s.  Issues to be discussed on Friday include: EPR, Waste pickers, transforming Landfills into resource recovery parks, problems with burners and nukes, renewable energy sources and stimulus plans (carbon caps).
 All ZWIA networkers (listserv members) are requested to send representative to provide the regional reports and participate in Friday’s discussion topic issues
On Saturday our host will provide tours of zero waste programs in the region.
