| I
am sorry that I was not able to answer you yesterday
but I was out of the office. Please be advised
that we take your complaints very seriously.
The Forum is now seeking professional advice as
to
the rules and regulations governing media participation
at private events in the United States. When
we have heard back, we will reply to you immediately.
As
for the allegation that you have been discriminated
against because of your race, please understand that
the Forum never has and never will discriminate against
anyone on the grounds of race, religion or ethnicity.
Invitations to our events are based solely on professional
criteria (as described in my previous e-mail). We are
a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-stakeholder platform.
Discrimination based on race would violate all we stand
for.
With best regards,
Andre Schneider
Director, Resources and Knowledge Management
