    So now  my question. Is this idea OK? when there will be really crowd of people, but there will not be real dialogue, as yesterday, when people were limited by 1 minute and evaluation like "you are promoting yourself"... 
     
    if there will be like 5 topics:
     
    1. . Institutions of Civic Society
    2.  NGOs in Legislative process
    3. Civic initiatives in solving social problems
    4. Civic expertise and Control on government affairs (people were very much in this!)
    5. Civic education and civic activity
     
    and different halls and possibility to use different "talking conners"
     
    we propose to provide one in Novosibirs for everybody who cares, but there were a lot of negatives from the "presidium" and so there were no real discussion on this. Marina wants to talk with regional authorities as there will be regional meeting soon, to try, so I support her greatly and if she will have time and forces to do this before her "difficult" efforts to go to Izrael, as there should be invitation on real stationary paper, (it is a time for post...) and visa - to go to Moscow- and tickets... and so on after, so we are ready to try and show (we know it works) but to show for other people and do you think it is real for 5,000?

  It is certainly worth a try. The major question, I think would be sufficient time and space. Time -- so folks could have a real discussion, and space -- so they don't trample each other in the process. Given both time and space, I would think about 2-3 simultaneous OS's in different spaces -- on the same theme. In similar situations we have used computers/Internet to connect the several spaces. As issues are posted in any space, they are posted in all. When reports are generated, they are available in all. Obviously, this requires both the equipment and the expertise to get it done. If you don't have either (equipment and expertise) seems to me you suggestion would work as well as any.
