We agreed to consult with the authors on how to express the U.S.'s legal commitment to nuclear disarmament. The authors were thanked for their work. The International Abolition 2000 Network is a network, not a coalition. There is no steering committee. These are both networks.
Groups can thus participate in either or both networks.
The networks are independent, but linked through common aims, strategies and membership. A clearinghouse is being established, to be hosted by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and funded by network members and specific funding proposals. The clearinghouse will be the international contact point for information on Abolition issues and activities. It will also assist in coordinating abolition meetings, monitoring the abolition working groups, stimulate co-ordination of campaign strategies, and assist in fundraising for activities of the network. The clearinghouse coordinator is Pamela Meidell.
