Cedric, what is it you are trying to achieve?

If it's trying to intrepret the good intentions Mark is having then you
might try reading his mentioning of 'nl-be' and 'fr-be' as the honest
and cultural-bias-free and thus neutral: 'dutch-speaking belgium' and
'french-speeking belgium' (not 'Vlaanderen' and 'La Wallonie')


Please. In this country everybody is bound to be a natural member of ONE
of it's communities,
 - if he/she stands up as such and does something inside/for that
community,
 - if he/she speaks up and uses ONE language,
THEN could it please NOT be regarded as an act of discrimination against
the OTHER community?


If you re-read his orginal posting you might see that his mentioning of
the region was only as some background info, an indication of current
reality and as an argument for the proposed figure of ordered cd's...


As far as I see it: Mark is trying to do something good with the means
and objectives he can oversee, commit to things he can deliver.


As for your original question about regional versus national: in terms
of effectiveness I think the kind of *personal-individual*
contact/mobilization Mark is realizing with his initiative will probably
do more then any regional, national or international action IMHO.


I also read in his reply there is a wide open hand to jump on the wagon
(and help it push if possible). From that angle your remark above is
less helpfull then the one below:

Interesting thought. Sounds like there is going to be a sure cost to be
covered though, which probably brings the sponsoring idea back on the
table...
