Dear Mistica VC members,

Something very serious has just happened: an error that has strong
repercussions, as it touches one of the vital elements of the project
(Yanapanako). Being the coordinator of this project, I take the whole
responsibility for this error.

Therefore, I have to explain what has happened, and I also have to
find remedy to this situation. Moreover, in another message I will
discuss methodological aspects that have marked this situation from
the point of view of the Coordination.

The message about the Yanapanako results that you have received
today, 28/10/99, was written for immediate launch on the 19/10/99
(and not 13/10/99, as mentioned by error). Other people were then
given a chance to participate in the PA call for proposals. I want to
mention that I have already informed each participant who has
submitted his/her proposal about this extension of the deadline.

With 15 days of delay, this message has lost all its sense. Moreover,
it now represents a lack of democracy as no conditions exist for a
treatment of equity and for the information flow (only 2 days left
for new proposals).

In order to solve this pitiful situation, I have to:
1) Formally say that I am very sorry for the bad management that has
created this incorrect (although non-deliberate) situation.
2) Extend the Yanapanako deadline (for the last time) until 15/11/99.
