The result of that emergency meeting of February 2014 gave birth to TAMPAN.

The meeting which started slightly behind schedule was a smooth one except for some issues of personal interest and counter opinions. It was successful with deliberations, projections and consensuses.
The future looks bright with the retinue of like minds and we are optimistic variances in opinions will be addressed with the constitution as the overall standard said a practitioner.
We had a brief interview with one of the attendees who preferred to by anonymous: He said though they were some arguments at certain points of the meeting, it was in the long run a very successful meeting.
