The Bretton Woods Project is launching a page to try to share intelligence and track civil society efforts in relation to such a global summit. See: global summit to reform the international financial system: Intelligence and responses towards a so-called "Bretton Woods 2" http://www.brettonwoodsproject.org/BW2. The page is aimed at helping civil society coordinate a response to this potential conference. We will try to bring you analysis, links to documents and highlight selected events. So check back often for updates and new information. If you want to contribute something just write to info@brettonwoodsproject.org
