An Emergency meeting lasting five hours took place on 4-11-1981 which was attended by Haji Haider Haji, Mahmood P.K. Merali, Hasnain Walji and Muhsin Dharamsi to discuss the lack of response from member organisations to Financing of Projects report of Aug 1981 and Secretariat Foundation Fund resolution.
Almost every fund of the World Federation is now in deficit and so there are no funds to support essential work thus wasting the resources of the dedicated volunteers. The four decided to call a special meeting of the Executive Council to seek guidance on possible course of action.
The Agenda for the meeting of 2-12-1981 was therefore be nothing more than action for the SURVIVAL OF THE WORLD FEDERATION.
THE FUTURE: AIM
Its hard work of Five years & to tackle all the objectives, the infrastructures has been laid out. The task ahead is immense but not impossible, given the financial resources.
It was strongly recommended that member organisations hold general meetings to discuss the necessity of having a World Federation, its present and future functions, its shortcomings. Members should decide what they are going to do to help the Federation to carry out its functions.
The Executive Council will meet monthly to monitor response of the Ummat to this circular together with all previous appeals of the World Federation.
The Executive Council (all members including those overseas) will also meet the Secretariat on 24th and 25th April 1982 to deliberate on final effects of the response and to draw up the Agenda for the forthcoming Ordinary Conference. It was hoped that this Executive Council Meeting will not have the sad task of recommending the DISSOLUTION OF THE WORLD FEDERATION.
DISCUSSION & DECISION:
A long discussion took place for three hours. The Secretariat’s Programmee for Survival was discussed & Financial Statement for the period 1-1-81 to 31-10-81 was studied.
