<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A query which has arisen for me is whether or
not to suggest to the sponsor of a forthcoming forum that the
participants</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>be notified in advance of the theme settled
on for the meeting. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Addressing the theme chosen by the
sponsor - expressed as a compelling question - could have substantial
bearing on an </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>industry which is in a state of real
crisis.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The participants will already have given a great
deal of consideration to issues associated with the question. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My hesitation about publicising the specifics of
the theme in advance is that people may come with relatively firm
positions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whereas if they encounter it on the day there may
be more spontaneity in their responses. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Of course the sponsor may have their own view on
the matter; the issue has not yet been raised in our
exchanges. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any experience or feelings on this query?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With love</FONT></DIV>
