I can use this format next week with a group of middle school students who are doing a fishbowl (virtually) with our senior leadership teams from across North America. They can model it for the districts, who can take it back and use if with their participatory narrative “street data” processes.

If you pray to the list serve Gods, don't expect much. There aren't
any.<br class="">

This list is self-organized and self-moderated. If things go well, I
am hoping to get the OSList migrated to Mailman 3.0 soon. It will
help with some of the bounce problems, but it won't make any
difference to the self-organization of this conversation.<br class="">

You might make a difference though. I believe you already have.
Thank you for that, Mark!<br class="">
