[OSList] who are the right people

[Birgitt Williams via OSList]

Hi Chris,
I was attempting to understand what you are asking about and I realized I
did not understand. I would appreciate you clarifying some of what you have
written.
-if you are saying only global youth can mobilize on these issues if
sustainability is to be our future, do you want intergenerational
participation and if so, why? I ask this to attempt to understand who you
would be inviting as you sort out 'whoever comes are the right people'
-why is the goal to create something to do with a sustainable future? Is
this not too low a bar? I ask this to attempt to understand a theme if you
used OST.

Warmly,
Birgitt
