Prima di tutto, a response to Emma: what concerns me and Mamuka, there is no problem of language. We write in English here, that's true, but we read all the texts here in Italian - maybe Mamuka little bit worse, but anyway... So, don't worry about us. Another problem - Sasha Kostritskij, he almost doesn't understand Italian, and the only Italian-Russian / Russian-Italian dictionary was recently taken from Kiev office to Moscow :-(
So, you could be very kind for Sasha, if you write the most important things, at least concerning our work here - both in Moscow and Kiev - in English.
For what concerns membership campaign 1995, I suggest to make two mailings for all the CIS and Baltic countries:
1. Personalized mailing to subscribers of the last appeal to the UN - 350 persons (MPs, VIPs, what we call "testata giornalistica", etc.) - containing Green Book, letter written by Luca (maybe modified a little in respect the local situations) and membership coupon for RP and others (There Is No Peace..., Hands Off Cain, ERA, LIA).
2. Personalized mailing to the "punti di refiremento", members 1994 and 1993 - 3,200 persons - containing a letter and coupon.
It should cost:
1st mailing
post stamps $ 300
paper $ 10
2nd mailing
envelops $ 160
cartridge HP $ 90
paper $ 80
toner for copier $ 25
new address stamp $ 40
post stamps $ 320
--------------------------------------
TOTAL FOR TWO MAILINGS $ 1,025
About membership fees for CIS countries, I can only suggest again $ 11 for Russia as minimal fee and $ 24 as "recommended" fee; for Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia $ 1 (I propose to delete Armenia from the countries where fee is voluntary). About other countries we still collect information. I hope that we could finish just in one time with Luiggi (November 20).
