UK Entrepreurship Center Commitments
--------------


1. (C) UK Embassy Manama Middle East Reform Officer Jackie
Perkins told Econoff April 6 that the UK would still consider
funding a Deputy Director position for the Bahrain Center for
Entrepreneurial Excellence, but that it could not make any
commitments until the Beyster Institute finishes its business
plan with cost estimates. Perkins said she clarified this
position with UK-based Reform Officer Frances Guy (reftel).
Econoff told Perkins that the Beyster Institute hopes to
complete a detailed business plan by June. Perkins also said
the UK would provide visiting lecturers and other similar
resources once the Center is up and running.

--------------
Forum for the Future Thematic Elements
--------------


2. (C) Perkins said that at the London luncheon (reftel)
four pre-Forum thematic NGO meetings were discussed. Perkins
said it is her understanding that the USG expressed interest
in hosting a Human Rights/Legal Reform meeting. She also
noted that Bahrain would most likely hold a Women/Employment
meeting.
