NMI was initially announced 28 August 2014. On September 2, I
attended a meeting in Istanbul with WEF's team for NMI (at that time,
WEF was still along in driving NMI). On November 6, the newly revised
NMI was launched, with changes in some areas but no significant changes
to the underlying ideology.

Hence there has been no shortage of time to become sufficiently deeply
informed about the ideological underpinnings of NMI and to be now quite
sure that we want to reject NMI on that basis -- as explained in
http://justnetcoalition.org/NMI-neoliberal-caravan .

Greetings,
Norbert
co-convenor, JNC
