<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>Of course I´ll explain a bit more. For the first day of
OST we use computors and a </SPAN>s<SPAN class=150243221-15062003>uitable
software. The reports are written and put onto the internet (only accessible to
the participants). That way the conference and the dialogue can continue in the
time until the next physical meeting. New subjects may be raised and those
already there may be further discussed and developed. The four principles and
the law apply on the internet conference just as in the physical meetings.
The space is still open.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>I have found some critical technical as well as
practical circumstances that I think are important such
as:</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>- Using a simple and workable software
</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>- Using it already at the physical meeting so that
people may try it out and get used to it.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>- Using "simple" forums instead of threaded makes the
overview better.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

class=150243221-15062003><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>- Those who raise an issue either in the first
physical meeting or during the online part take on the responsibility to make a
summary one week prior to the next physical
meeting.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>So far my experiences have been a bit different from
time to time. On some occasions the online activity has been very low on other
occasions there has been more activity. In any case the space has been open.
Whatever happens... I do think though, that there is more to develop in order to
give the participants the best possible opportunity to engage online. We´re
working on it! Anyone else who has similair or other experiences, I´d appreciate
to hear about that.</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff><FONT face=Arial><SPAN
class=150243221-15062003>I think this is a very interesting way to
introduce online collaboration, especially in organizations/communities that are
spread out geographically. </SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT color=#0000ff
