Hi,

I have sent you a link to a news site on the internet. Things are getting complicated in Bravador.

Every Board member has been asked to attend a brainstorming session this afternoon, before the CEO flies out to Bravador this evening. We will be considering the following four matters:

Is it acceptable for us to develop this forest, given the commitment that we have made with respect to indigenous peoples’ rights? They have been quoted at the end of the news article.

Is it fair for the environmental protestors to complain that our operations are unsustainable?

Would it be unethical to offer to build a village, with a proper school and medical clinic, for the tribe and to offer them work in our forestry operations?

Is it really a good idea for the CEO to fly to Bravador just to appear on the television news in his boots and overalls?

Please email me your thoughts on each of these matters before I leave for the meeting this afternoon.

Marcus
