Dear [[first_name]] [[last_name]] Esq.,
Last month at this time, the Eye on IPBA was being finalized while this writer was enjoying some bad wine from a hotel convenience store. This time around, she is fueled by bad hot coffee in a can from a vending machine. Actually, the bad hot coffee in a can is a guilty pleasure: the can warms up the hands, the coffee is just strong enough to give a quick jolt but not too strong to prevent a good night's sleep, and it's just a little too sweet. Cheers!
The Mid-Year Council Meeting in Chiang Mai, held November 2nd through 4th, brought together our IPBA Council members who attended various meetings to report on activities and discuss ideas. The following two-day Regional Conference on arbitration in Bangkok on November 5th and 6th drew almost 100 delegates each day. Many thanks go to the law firm of Dej-Udom & Associates Ltd. for hosting the council meetings and social events, as well as the first day of the Regional Conference. In addition, the great organization of the second day's conference by the Thailand Arbitration Center can not be understated.
Pictured left to right: Perry Pe introduces Past President Dej-Udom Krairit, generous host of the weekend's events; the IPBA Officers in a rare moment of calm; one of the panels on the second day of the Regional Conference.

Stemming from discussion in Bangkok with representatives of the Law Society of England and Wales, IPBA Officer Varya Simpson has organized a Women's Roundtable to take place in New Delhi on Thursday, December 13th. The Law Society has been conducting roundtables around the world to support dialogue, a clear commitment, and tangible actions to achieve full gender equality. The current President of the Law Society, Christina Blacklaws, has generously offered to facilitate this roundtable.
If you would like to join this event, contact the IPBA Secretariat, or check out the details on the IPBA web site.
Please contact the Secretariat if you'd like to help organize a Women's Roundtable in your jurisdiction.
