There were 3 first time attendees and one new organization. The new members were Michelle and Jason Childs, Sean Houston under contract to AusAid and Geoff Thwaites from Zero to One. Michelle is currently working with a group of Indonesian surfers to create a possible surfing event sometime on the island in the near future. The new organization was The Zero to One Foundation for which Geoff Thwaites is the Administrator.

Zero to One Foundation
The Foundation was established on the Queensland Gold Coast to sponsor victims of terrorist attacks worldwide. Geoff relates that he and his wife lost their son, Robert in the Kuta Bombing and it is Robert's personal manifesto, found within his computer that forms the basis of the Zero to One Foundation, whose aim is simply to help those in a seemingly impossible position gain support until they are self sufficient. Geoff submitted the constitution of the Zero to One Foundation to the Bali Recovery Group. The Zero to One Foundation has created a team of local volunteers to work in the field collecting data and screening casualties etc. afterwards the data will be submitted to Bali Hati for further database process. This team will be at the disposal of all groups participating in the Bali Recovery Group.
