WORLDWIDE INDIAN NETWORK
Responsibilities of Coordinators ("task20")
--------------------------------------------
Welcome to the Worldwide Indian Network (WIN). It is an
action-oriented network, and its potential is unlimited. If
used properly, the Network can have a significant positive
impact on all Indians on the planet. (There are close to one
billion of us.) However, the WIN can fulfill its objectives and
be successful if and only if all members carry out their duties
by sharing responsibilities. Of course, your active participa-
tion in the Network will be time-consuming. However, the great
good you do for our people will make all your efforts more than
worthwhile. Therefore, we are asking you to go through the
following job descriptions, and assume the responsibilities of
one that you think best fits your background and interests.
================================================================
Panel of Judges (PJ -- "task21")
--------------------------------
We need a few volunteers who are going to decide on behalf
of the Network what actions the Network is going to take. In
other words, they would serve as a "panel of judges" for and on
behalf of the Worldwide Indian Network (WIN). These individuals
must be mature, wise, and well-respected by all sections of
society. If you think you possess these qualities, or you know
of any other member who possesses these qualities, and would
like to assume these responsibilities, please contact the
Network Coordinator (bhalder@lynx.dac.neu.edu).

serve the Network in these capacities, please contact the
Network Coordinator (bhalder@lynx.dac.neu.edu).

fits into this category, and is willing to help the Network in
this capacity, please contact the Network Coordinator (bhalder@

Currently, the following files are available at the site:

US Senators, the Family Reunification Bills ( Senate Bill S618 &

can definitely expand our services to include survey of travel
agents, admission to professional schools, visa regulations,

Indian restaurants, and many other items asked and answered on
the net on a regular basis. We need at least one coordinator
