I&#39;m interested in a curious distinction that appears on the Universal Postal Union (UPU) website, concerning Guam, or should I say, the two Guams. The UPU list of member countries includes two entries for Guam: first as &quot;a territory of the United States of America,&quot; and second as &quot;the United States Possession of Guam.&quot;<br /><br />The first of those is listed as a member (with the code &quot;GU&quot;); the second specified as an exclusion from the list. <br /><br />From your perspective have you any idea what this distinction might mean?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Richard<br />richard.thrive@gmail.comRichardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16245499331930523404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198125668113557576.post-9569633173007046342010-01-06T07:37:54.347-08:002010-01-06T07:37:54.347-08:00Hafa Adai Kob,<br /><br />I was wondering if you&#39;d let me republish on of your blog posts in my internet zine, Minagahet? I&#39;m trying to put together this week an issue on the DEIS and buildup issue and so I was hoping to use one of yours. Let me know by emailing me at mlbasquiat@hotmail.com.

At this point, most on the mainland are really unaware of it. The Insular Empire will be really, really important for awareness building.kobhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15351473838412364000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198125668113557576.post-474951462633749952009-12-14T19:40:05.914-08:002009-12-14T19:40:05.914-08:00I second Desiree&#39;s sentiments! This is a well-written and prescient analogy. I too am linking to your site and hope that my film will help to shine a national spotlight on Guahan and her lovely - and increasingly endangered - Chamoru people.<br /><br />- Vanessa Warheit, Prod./Dir., The Insular Empire: America in the Mariana IslandsHorse Opera Productionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04828081645874044686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6198125668113557576.post-85012892596404629372009-12-12T16:24:41.866-08:002009-12-12T16:24:41.866-08:00Thank you for this entry.
