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"...

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><BR>Harrison <BR><BR>
