<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Birgitt</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, Joel and Catherine for your warm
and supporting presence.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you were asking: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><EM>Could you please say a little more about the point that you made that
delaying the OST was an ingredient for its success--was this about political
readiness? </EM></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Before the closing circle an elder lady told me "
This explosion of energy and ideas are bursting now because on the last 15
years, every idea that any of us brought was burried by the former Mayor, it
seems that with this Mayor we have a new era" </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the closure the new Mayor emraced the process
fully, and commited himself to lead it, and we could all sense the
rizing of the energies among the 250 people in the hall. He was telling
them that as a physicist only now in this process he got acquainted
to human energies in action.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>And could you please say something about what is in place to take the
ideas from the OST into follow up? </EM></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We intend to accompany the steering committee meetings and phone
consultation by one of us, while encouraging them
to persist with the `music` of invitation and inclusion in
all aspects. We will know more about it while proceeding and if it interests the
comunity we can inform you about the follow up a year from now.</DIV>
