| − | [[IMANI]] (Centre for Policy and Education) is a Ghanaian think tank set up in 2004 which is “dedicated to educating society on the benefits of a free economy and fostering public awareness of important policy issues concerning business, government and civil society” (IMANI 2009). The group claims to be part of an international network of right leaning free market think tanks which includes Instituto Bruno Leoni, The Heritage Foundation, International Policy Network, Initiative for Public Policy Analysis, Nigeria, Atlas Center for Economic Research, (IMANI 2009). This group is working with alcohol producers to develop national alcohol strategies and Evans is regarded as a consultant on alcohol control policies, the alcohol industry are developing and funding alcohol control polices which are ineffective at best, and deeply cynical at worst. Even if public health campaigners do succeed in achieving a global strategy to tackle alcohol related harm the industry are already deeply entrenched within many emerging economies and developing countries. This amplifies the problem and undermines genuine efforts to improve and protect public health; paradoxically this gives the industry the position of concerned policy partner further contributing to their sense of corporate social responsibility. | + | ==Organic Industry Structure== |

| + | == EPC Alcohol == |
| | + | In 2001 the European Commission had begun the process of developing an alcohol strategy for Europe, which initially involved gathering information on the extent of alcohol related harm and possible policy solutions. By 2006 the initial European Alcohol Strategy were being slowly introduced. The alcohol industry were against a Europe wide strategy, but were keen for any action to be based on self regulation of the industry. |
| | | | |
| − | Check for typos...
| + | In 2005 and 2006, just before the introduction of the strategy, DG Sanco asked the European Policy Centre (EPC) to host four meetings between the alcohol industry and health NGOs. These Round Table on “Alcohol related harm: ways forward” aimed to reach consensus on policy interventions and to ‘identify areas of agreement between the stakeholders as to actions that can contribute effectively to the reduction of alcohol-related harm and indicate where and why there is disagreement, and in so doing help create confidence between stakeholders’.<ref> Corporate Europe Observatory, [http://www.corporateeurope.org/observer2/epc.html Part One: The European Policy Centre] European Think Tank Series, Issue 2, October 1998, </ref> According to the [[Institute of Alcohol Studies]] these meetings were "At the behest of the [alcohol] Industry, DG SANCO officials organised roundtable discussion through the aegis of the European Policy Centre, between representatives of the Commission, Member States, Industry and NGOs to discuss the draft proposals for a European Alcohol Policy Strategy". <ref> Rutherford, D.

| | | | |
| − | Good stuff
| + | The meetings involved working through 78 issues or policy proposals related to alcohol harm reduction that were presented by the [[European Commission]] in an informal draft of their communication on Alcohol. Participants graded each item using a traffic lights system, green issues were broadly agreeable to all present, amber a possibility and red a clear no. 68 of the measures were marked green, Seven were amber, indicating no overall agreement but that some compromises might be reached. Three were categorised as red issues where the industry simply refused to negotiate. <ref> Anderson & Baumberg, [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2006.01713.x Alcohol Policy: Who should sit at the table?] ''Addiction Volume'' 102, No. 2 pp 335-336 (online subscription required)</ref> |

| | + | Dr [[Peter Anderson]], author of the Alcohol In Europe report (2006) commented “The European Policy Centre (EPC) describes itself as ‘an independent, not-for-profit think tank, committed to making European integration work’. Its independence is, of course, ensured by the fact that its prime corporate members and sponsors include [[InBev]], the world’s largest brewer and [[Philip Morris]] International”. <ref> Anderson & Baumberg, [http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/j.1360-0443.2006.01713.x Alcohol Policy: Who should sit at the table?] ''Addiction Volume'' 102, No. 2 pp 335-336 (online subscription required)</ref> The final outcome of this process, and other consultations resulted in the launch of the [[European Alcohol and Health Forum]]. |

| − | HI Claire
| |
| − | | |
| − | just doing a tour of the portal pages. think yr booze one is looking good. if there's one thing that may make it more accessible to the public before the launch, I think it might be to introduce them in simple language to a couple of the main issues around booze. In the Issues box or similar? I am not an expert on the topic but one possib that comes to mind is the industry's attempts to link lack of regulation of booze with liberty/freedom from government in the public mind? also people are worried about the licensing hours issue because of the violent binge-drinkers etc rolling along the streets at all hours--and relaxing licensing hours has got to be about raising revenue for the government hasn't it? because they get more tax back from the booze sold as a result of the longer hours? these are just guesses--as I said, I'm not an expert, but is it possible just to choose a couple of issues to foreground for the public? whatever the industry is/has been lobbying for I guess are the things to highlight.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Berman & Co. are behind the [[Center for Consumer Freedom]], formerly known as the Guest Choice Network, known to have received a $200,000 donation from Monsanto. The Consumer Freedom campaign smears organic food as dangerous and promotes what t calls 'genetically improved food'. Berman and his firm paint GM opponents as terrorists, asserting that 'anti-biotech extremists' are part of a 'growing wave of domestic terrorism'. They say the people we need to worry about are not just al-Qa'ida but 'the middle-class kids down the street.' (Terrorists On The March -- In America, USA Today)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Berman & Co. have even declared the charity of the British and Irish churches, Christian Aid, a 'far-left leaning' group that 'flat-out lies about GE foods', hiding 'behind a religious facade to more easily malign farmers, scientists, food companies, and even PR people who deal with GE foods.'.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Berman & Co's internet PR campaign also includes [[ActivistCash.com]] which claims to 'root out the funding sources' of 'the most notorious and extreme groups that conspire to restrict the public's food and beverage choices'. However, the [[Center for Media and Democracy]] says ActivistCash.com draws on information already largely public and mixes it with distortions and misinformation.
| |
| − | Curiously, Monsanto's $200,000 donation to Berman's PR activities only became public as a result of information from a whistle-blower. And Berman appears to take great exception to attempts to root out his own financial relationship with the various lobby organisations run by Berman & Co. He even threatened a lawsuit for defamation after attention was drawn to his 'funneling millions of corporate dollars - donated to non-profit organizations he runs - right into his own bank accounts. Berman pays himself the cash both directly and personally in the form of salary and benefits for his role as 'Executive Director,' as well as through payments he makes from the non-profits to his own corporation, Berman & Company, Inc., for 'consulting.'

| − | Alcohol portal
| |
| − | | |
| − | One of the two “Welcome to the alcohol portal” headers should be got rid of Gap top left above pic should be expunged
| |
| − | | |
| − | Gap top right above Priority Companies should be expunged
| |
| − | | |
| − | I know we are trying to attract writers to do “priority pages” for us but something in my guts tells me it’s dangerous to advertise who we are scouting for info on, esp in the case of a certain group of people we all know. I feel we should only come out with stuff on people when it’s quite bullet-proof, ie when an article is done and sourced. What do you think?
| |
| − | | |
| − | “Booze in the News” a great idea but can something go in there?
| |
| − | | |
| − | What about taking out “Newest Pages” and “Recently Updated Articles” as too much info on unrelated topics for Alcohol portal page?? What do you think about taking out the generic spin stuff, “Getting Started”, “Can You Help” and “SpinP History” out of each portal page? Too cluttered with it?
| |
| − | | |
| − | If I am right in assuming that all articles in Alc portal have the “Alcohol” category attached to them, can we add “For all articles in the Alcohol portal, see [link to Alcohol category page]” as I have done in GM Watch portal? The benefit of this is that the reader does not have to worry about whether he is guessing the correct category when he wants to know about a person or org, and there is no way (as things are) that he can know that all the articles in this portal are collected under Alcohol category. I can add this if Claire H approves.

| − | == coding trick re hyphenations etc ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | HI Claire
| |
| − | | |
| − | good q. Yes there is a way. I have applied this system outlined below to the only Anheuser-Busch I could find in the article I just put up (the conservation caucus) and do feel free to do a search thru the site for Anheuser-Busch and code it like this (this is making the assumption that while some people spell it with hyphen, you spell it on the site without):
| |
| − | | |
| − | if you want to replicate someone else's usage with hyphen:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anheuser-Busch
| |
| − | | |
| − | but you have on the site called it:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Anheuser Busch
| |
| − | | |
| − | there is a way of honoring other people's spelling while keeping yours the way you want it.
| |
| − | | |
| − | What you type:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>[[Anheuser Busch|Anheuser-Busch]]</nowiki>
| |
| − | | |
| − | What you get:
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Anheuser Busch|Anheuser-Busch]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Likewise, say for example you wanted to quote a quote about Bill Clinton (e.g. Monica Lewinsky said, "Bill ignored me after that.")
| |
| − | | |
| − | but you know that his entry in spin is under William Jefferson Clinton (not true but this is just an example). so you can code it like this if you want a hotlink to Clinton's page:
| |
| − | | |
| − | what you type:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <nowiki>Monica Lewinsky said, "[[William Jefferson Clinton|Bill]] ignored me after that."</nowiki> | |
| − | | |
| − | what you get:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Monica Lewinsky said, "[[William Jefferson Clinton|Bill]] ignored me after that."
| |
| − | | |
| − | Only the "Bill" will show up in blue, not red, if there is actually a page called William Jefferson Clinton.
| |
| − | | |
| − | BUT having said all this I just did a search for Anheuser Busch on the web and wiki hyphenates it, Anheuser-Busch. cd u do a search and see what is the correct version? If no hyphen is incorrect after all, we will need to 'move' the page to one called Anheuser-Busch, with hyphen. this will preserve all the links even to the unhyphenated form. Not sure if you can move pages or whether this is sysop privilege, but if you have that tab at the top of your Edit page, you can.

| − | also in that passage there is a rogue character -- which I suspect crept in during the changeover of the site to make it public. I am not sure what should be there -- ellipse? dash? so could you fix?
| |

| − | HI Claire
| |
| − | | |
| − | sorry to take so long to reply -- I no longer get emailed when someone leaves me messages on my talk page and I have no idea why this is, as my preferences are set for me to be told.

| − | BTW you can sign your messages to me by hitting the squiggle icon third from right in the edit function--it should sign your name automatically. then maybe it might set off some alert thing that tells me you have left me a message?

| − | Hi Claire
| |
| − | | |
| − | very small point: only one space needed at end of a sentence. Like this. Not like this.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's a convention that's changed since the advent of computers -- in typescript, it was usual to leave 2 spaces.
| |
| − | | |
| − | that's all for now

| − | I moved The Drinkaware Trust to Drinkaware Trust, without the "The" as this seems to have become our policy, except when we absolutely can't avoid using the "The", as in "The Times". Just another one of those editing pains in the butt...
