Incentive to participate?

[douglas germann]

David--

If it takes that to get them there, then the inviting question is not
live enough for them.

The key, it seems to me, would be to have a gripping enough question for
everyone to feel a *need* to be there, to be involved in the decisions
to be made. Does it touch them in the head, the heart, or the gut?
