David, What is the HuaiRou Commission? 

Five of us traveled as the ICA official Observers Delegation, led by then-ICAI Pres Shizuyo Sato, to the UN Women’s Conference in Beijing in 1995, and, with the others in our delegation, I led an ICA ToP workshop in HuaiRou at the Shadow (NGO) Conference there (standing room only even though we were competing in the same time slot with Hillary Clinton and/or Gloria Steinham, as I recall).  So I’m very curious about the HuaiRou Commission.

Subject: [Oe List ...] The death of Rev. Zan White

Colleagues.

I've attached a flyer that announces the death of Rev. Zan White, the husband of Jan Peterson, the Chairperson of the Huairou Commission's Secretariat. Zan died last week in a drowning accident.

I understand from Dick Alton that Jan and her husband have been colleagues who lived in a religious house many years ago. I wonder if others know of the Zan White-Jan Peterson family and have any memories they could share.

David

ps. I'm currently working with two of Jan's staff members on a Grassroots Women's Community Justice Guide, a resource for facilitating women's land and property ownership in Africa, to be published by the Huairou Commission next month.
