IFAN 2009 main objectives are :- - The Network should discuss liberal policies for India and disseminatethese to key individuals in politics and industry in different parts of India.
- The Network should continuously lobby for liberal draft policies, with specific aim of involving adults and young leaders.
- The Network should establish a group of at least 5 multipliers /moderators.
- The Network should Establish Discussion groups
Possible Topics: 1. Financial Crises: Chances & Challenges (liberal perspective) 2. Political Scene form a Liberal perspective 3. IAF seminar topics e.g. What is a Strategy planning workshop for FNF? 4. What's new in the Indian Book market (liberal perspective) - perhaps start a liberal book club 5. Free Trade - Boom or bane (liberal perspective) 6. Publications on Liberal perspective 7. Liberty & Security 8. Initiate a People to people meet between India and Pakistan Liberals.
A possible structure could be to Host a two hour session : 30 min: talk on a theme 30 min: Q&A on the theme 45 min: Moderated discussion on possible liberal strategy on that particular issue 15 min: Conclusion by resource person and moderator. The idea is not so much to develop an action plan, but to get into the mode of thinking in that manner. The resource person and moderator could be rotated each session so as to expose everyone to different roles.To begin with, the action plan could be hypothetical. But if we can build a momentum among the IFAN members, then at least one or two of the plans could be adopted by a few of the members and taken to the level of implementation, under the auspices of one of the partners.That way IFAN members and FNF partners may begin to develop a more symbiotic relationship.
