Update on Relations with NGOs In the intervening months since our last meeting, several developments have taken place concerning the public reception of NGOs and their relationship with government, international organizations and business. ?Following increased security concerns and a feeling of vulnerability in the US to terrorist disruption, it has become extremely unpopular to tolerate excessive demonstrations by violent anti-capitalist/anti-globalization NGOs. This is not to say that demonstrations are prohibited or that they do not take place. It is the tolerance level for "noise" and violence that has diminished.
