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"... </font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>if there will be like 5 topics:</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>1. . Institutions of Civic Society</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>2. NGOs in Legislative
process</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>3. Civic initiatives in solving social
problems</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>4. Civic expertise and Control on government
affairs (people were very much in this!)</font><br>
<font face="arial" size=2>5. Civic education and civic
activity</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>and different halls and possibility to use
different "talking conners"</font><br>
<br>
<font face="arial" size=2>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?</font><font face="arial"></font></blockquote><br>
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. <br>
