meetings begin with all the participants sitting in a circle, and no items on
the agenda. The meeting opens with an agenda setting exercise following which
the group self-organizes into smaller discussion groups. Discussion group
conveners are responsible for providing a report of the discussions, which is
immediately added to a book of proceedings. At the conclusion of the meeting,
or very shortly thereafter, participants receive a copy of the proceedings
including all of the discussion groups’ reports and any action plans that
were developed. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
