             Call From IFCSS Consultation Service Committee
             ==============================================

We are proud to present to you the IFCSS Consultation Service Committee,
which will significantly expand our membership service in the vital area
of law and legal matters. Again, your active participation is key to its
success as well as the existence of the IFCSS in general. The following
is a forwarded message from the Committee chair, Liu Zhendong.

IFCSS Consultation Service Committee (CSC), set up at the end of last year, 
mainly focuses issues relating to law and tax facing most CSS, which are still 
very new in this country. Since then, the committee has helped several Chinese
students to solve lawsuit problems, such as car accidents, off-campus working 
without working permit and failure to fill tax return form. However, due to our 
limit manpower and knowledge to various laws, we can not extensively expand our 
service to more students. IFCSS/CSC calls the helps from every of you who major 
in law and other social sciences, and who are our local CSS leaders.

Your helps are needed in expaning the services in the following areas:

     Laws:
           visa...
           family reunion...
	   working permit...
           tax return...
           car accident...

     Insurance:
           auto insurance...
           health insurance...
           life insurance...
           
IFCSS/CSC is now considering to allocate space in the IFCSS ftp to store some
basic information related to above issues. At the same time, IFCSS/CSC needs
sufficient manpower to answer various types of question raised by the CSS 
community.

If you are willing to help or have any comment and suggestion, please send 
e-mail to [email-masked].
