Meeting start planning a second polycentric WSF in Asia
Social movements, organizations and NGOs from Asia will hold on next August 16, in

decisions to be made is venue (country) and date.

that will take place in various parts of the world rather than in one location. An Asian
consultation meeting on WSF 2006 was held last June to plan for the Asia process.

Asia: one to be held in January 2006 in Karachi, Pakistan, and another to be held in
