Boston - immigration, ATI, AARW

US Social Forum - everyone is talking about the USSF about if they're going and what they're going to do, open process for tracks, identifying topics, program is being developed,
CAAAV, CPA & APEN intend to go but there's a question of resources, NAKASEC, BAYAN??
There's interest but things are not clear and whether or not workshops.

Two ways to proceed

Brainstorm:
Hold and get feedback:

Mark: gets initial suggestion to present to people, getting in touch with people, workshop for people who don't have contact to build network. Trying to be on larger panel. State of Asian American activism with different nationalities. Broader network. More closed meeting - what next for API Movement.
