G20 Blogging - An Opportunity

In April, representatives from the top 20 economies in the world are meeting to discuss the state of the world economies.

EIL began discussing this summit back in September of 2008.

Like everything and everyone else in the world, this summit has their own website: LondonSummit.gov.uk.

Of personal interest, NGO Oxfam Great Britain, is providing 50 bloggers from around the world a chance to particpate in this summit - bringing their own fresh perspective to the negotiations and sessions.

If you think my approach to writing on international law and current events is worthwhile, I would like to ask a favor.

Please nominate me to be one of the bloggers invited to the summit.

You can do so at Oxfam's website: G20Voice.

The nomination form:

Thanks,
