<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Winston,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for helping me clear up what needs
clarification, - </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> "the community" potentially is
all the state of Israel (every place that there are physical building and
development) but there is no identified community as of yet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The invitation went out to
all/most the government, municipal, academic, professional, NGO, voluntary
bodies that have to do with this issue and is announced in professional and
organizational gatherings about relevant issues. People who were not invited
directly call to register after hearing from some one and join. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The journalist we know about is
a good one and covers this type of issues in an important Israeli daily
newspaper. I understand she was offered to come "as a Journalist", whatever that
means. Intuitively I would be all for her coming as a participant but I keep
asking myself what happens if people find their name and picture and words
quoted (or twisted) in the morning paper...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope this helps - thanks again</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>yours</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Some questions on Tova's post:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Are members of the "target" community invited to
the O/S? Are the journalists in question members of the community or
representing community news sources? And, the <U>key</U>
question, w</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>ould the journalists be there
as participants or as some kind of "observers"?</FONT></DIV>
