Dr. Assad Kotaite also graced the Meeting with his supportive remarks for
the creation and establishment of the Organization.
At the outset, it was stated by the Chairman that all formal/legal requirements
of setting up of the International Foundation for Aviation and Development
(IFAD) have been completed and we should go ahead and enrol new members.
Views of all those attending were sought. The main observations were as
follows :
1. The idea of setting up of IFAD in Montreal was welcomed by all.
2. Some expressed the need for raising funds to make it operational
3. A need was felt to have a small Committee which could prepare a
feasibility study/programme of activities.
4. It was also proposed to invite more corporate members. It was proposed
that each member could contact such companies as would be interested in
the aims and objectives of this Foundation.
5. The need to urgently set up a website of the Foundation and make it a
web-based institution was also discussed.
