Abstract
This commentary was commissioned from J. Hope Corbin by the IUHPE in order to share her personal experience as a rapporteur and particpant in the 6th WHO Global Conference on Health Promotion held in Bangkok, Thailand, in August 2005. Her contribution serves as an example of how the IUHPE is committed to continue supporting a dialogue on the Bangkok Charter and its implementation through its electronic journal the Reviews of Health Promotion & Education Online which has provided a forum for IUHPE members to share their thoughts and views in the series: From Ottawa 1986 to Vancouver 2007, Should the Ottawa Charter be revisited? This series will be prolonged all the way up to the IUHPE's next world conference in Vancouver where the issues taken up by the various declarations of global WHO conferences, notably the Ottawa one in 1986, will be at the core of its programme (see http://www.iuhpeconference.org/). We are thus looking forward to a strong ongoing debate until then, and all IUHPE members are invited to submit their own paper on this subject for consideration and posting on RHP&EO (www.rhpeo.org)!
