Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Dear Hare Krsna Prabhu, PAMHO. AGTSP. Thank you very much for this work. I think it might work. I have a little hesitation about the ox and cow categories but am feeling with the examples it should be self explanatory. Could others please make a comment on this. I would like to send it to certain parties before the GBC meetings which I think are February 4. There is such a thing as the GBC database on-line and a secretariat formed last year. The purpose of this is to make sure temple reports get sent in. It has been suggested, as a result of the public announcement we just recently made, that the GBC Cow Report be part of this. They have 27 representatives placed all over the world to check that these reports are being done. However, the fate of this new program may die or contnue at this year's GBC Meetings. So if we agree that the report presented by Hare Krsna dasi is appropriate-it certainly is easier to work with- then I can present it to the proper parties. Does it need any revision? It seems to contain all the info from the other one I sent to the conference. As we presented the Minimum Cow Protection Standards as having been formed by the members of the cow conference (now ISKCON Law 507) we could also present the revised Cow Report form in the same way.
