In response to Artur¹s questions/comments:

We will be using BigMind Catalyst software, and it does have an email
participation feature. This will help those who are paying per-minute fees
for Internet access.

We are collecting phone numbers in case there are any glitches ‹ for
example, if we receive an incorrect email address we need an alternate
method of contact.

Our goal is broad based international participation. So far we have
registrations from Israel, New Zealand, Columbia, the US and Portugal.
Following the principle of ³whoever comes are the right people,² I believe
we will have a fantastic learning experience together.

Gabriel
