We can have the meeting in Singapore and at the same time, have an explicit message to the authorities, press, etc., explaining what enforced to have this discussion and why we will not come back to Singapore and other countries if the laws aren’t changed. We can even have a press release explaining it during the meeting. It is a much better opportunity to create the noise, specially if authorities come to the meeting.
This is a good suggestion, and if the decision is made to go to Singapore despite the obvious problems, this really needs to be done. That said, we'll still be talking about diversity rather than adapting our own behavior and processes to improve our own situation, and, as the poet says, talk is cheap. But, it's something. Melinda
