Motion Passed: addition of Brazil Forum
Moved by bhatnasx and seconded by Cholula:
that the TalkBoard recommends the creation of a Brazil forum This vote will close 9 Jan 2011 |
As I stated I would elsewhere, I have supported this proposal in the vote.
|
I have also voted in favor.
Long overdue IMO. |
Two ^ way up.
|
I also support the forum, though will wait a few days before voting to see if anyone has any compelling objections or better ideas.
|
Thanks for the votes. When you pass this you'll be giving a great birthday present for Mrs. jbcarioca.

Glad to see TB working in harmony on this issue. DL has just started non-stop service to Brazil out of DTW. Brazil definately needs their own rightful spot. Would be a nice place to be right now with this weather.

Some info from an AP report on how Brazil has changed as Lula prepares to leave office:
"Since Silva’s first election in 2002, the middle class has grown by 29 million people — more than the population of Texas — creating a powerful new domestic consumer market. Another 20 million people — as many as in New York state — were pulled from poverty. The country that received a record $30 billion bailout from the International Monetary Fund as it neared economic collapse in 2002 now lends money to the IMF, making up to $5 billion available for loans to other nations." And also this: "By the time Brazil hosts the Olympics, it is forecast to be the globe's fifth-largest economy, surpassing Italy, Britain and France." Full report can be found at: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n7188460.shtml and many other news sites.. |
I voted yes.
Cheers. Sharon |
I have voted "Abstain" on this issue. I was initially opposed to the forum but jbcarioca made a convincing case that unfortunately my travel/work schedule (and involuntary reroutings) during the voting period does not give me sufficient time to research. I am quite confident that there will be sufficient support from the other members to pass this vote without me.

Thanks very much to all of you. What a very nice present for the new year you have given us! Now what happens to make the forum a reality?
