Well, it looks to me that ANA, ANMA and NAC are competing to take credit for initiation of NRNA and NRN conference. Why should they compete? If you can convince public that you were prime player in this issue, you might be considered / recognized as an important umbrella orgnization of Nepali Nuclear organizations. This can be seen in the report prepared by Naresh Koirala and comments by others as follows: Let me cite first the part of Naresh's report that draws conclusion based on Naresh's personal judgement: ANA and What it Needs To Do! ANA is committed to ICC's mission. ICC operates on the basis of country representatives and not association representatives. This makes sense, but will require a legitimate representative country association to work. As a leading organization of Nepalis in North America, ANA must take leadership to bring together Nepali organizations in the country so that they can collectively fulfill ICC's mission. The participation of Kunjarji and Raja Upadhya (the only two North American representatives, both of ANA in the ICC meeting in London) has added to ANA's leadership responsibilities. NRN's in North America need a representative country organization to fulfill ICC's mission. A fractious group of country representatives do not make a cohesive country group, which can take major decisions. The unfortunate reality is that despite the claims of various Nepali organizations to be the sole representative of all Nepalis in North America, a Nepali Organization, which truly represents the whole of Nepali community, does not exist. The modalities of such united organization must be agreed upon before the next ANA conference in Phoenix, so the united organization can be formally ratified by the ANA conference. This organization should have a separate cell to coordinate all ICC related NRN activities. The Government and the People of Nepal expect us to actively promote Nepali culture and also market Nepal in our country of domicile. ANA needs to develop a concrete plan to do this and follow it up with action. Now that NRN issues have come to the public domain in Nepal and we received a tremendous support from the media, we need to work with the media in Nepal and publicize our activities in Nepali media. This is the only way we can hope to continue getting media trust. We should immediately start working towards production of a skill dossier of Nepali people who are willing to provide their services in Nepal both in the short and the long term. A strategic planning meeting to collect funds for targeted united Nepali association-approved charity must also be formulated and put into action ASAP.
