IIFWP is an NGO in Special Consultative Status with 
the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations

The put on conferences, like the following on "Universal Values and
Lasting Peace: Toward a New Model of Global Governance"

And if I must spell it out, the foundation is part of the Unification
Movement, founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon (the well-known founder of
the Unification Church). What other foundation would be likely to
approach me to help them publish an encyclopedia? The only communities
I'm involved in are (a) the Unificationists (27 years) and (2) the
Wikipedians (3.5 years). Is that enough of a clue?
