[Robyn Francis <robyn@permaculture.com.au>]

Hi Neil, 

There's been a quite few people in the US have expressed interest regarding
the potential for using APT or creating an APT-style framework in the USA
for vocational training and internships in permaculture.

I'd be willing to work with a dedicated core group of interested people in
exploring this further.

There's a national APT gathering coming up early October and will request to
have APT overseas affiliations on the agenda.

Anyone seriously interested in pursuing this further and in depth through a
dedicated discussion group, please contact me off list.

Ciao
Robyn
