Organisers confirm dates for IC2008

I agree that we don't want to promote segregation within our society, but I believe these 'ethnic' sides will have to fit a similar criteria to the overseas IC teams. In other words they won't simply be first generation Australians running around against other first generation Australians. If I lived overseas for the next ten years of my life I'd still consider myself Australian, and so arguably a Vietnamese or Sudanese or Greek person that grew up in their home country but now lives in Australia still considers their place of birth as 'their nationality'. Either way its a cloudy issue.

In case it wasn't clear in the story, I should emphasise that I don't think the ethnic-based sides would compete against the truly international sides - they would most likely have their own division. That's my understanding of it anyway.
