FIRST MEETING OCTOBER 7, 2005  1-2PM Eastern

CONTENTS OF THIS PAGE:  Preparation;  Agenda

Agenda Overview:  Review Direction;  Introductions;  Online Institute; Dangerous Discussions;
Conference Slideshow/Surveys;  New Initiatives;  Next Steps

PREPARATION – Minimum of 3 minutes!  Get a taste of one of our new online slideshow/survey combinations.
If you have not already had an opportunity to see and respond to the latest slideshow/survey for the Dangerous Discussions initiative, pls do so before 1PM Eastern today (Friday)  if you can.  If you prefer the silent version, the slideshow takes about 2 minutes;  the audio narrated version takes between 3 and 5 minutes.  You will need at least one more minute to respond to the survey (longer only if you wish to write something for one of the optional open-ended questions).  While I am definitely interested in your opinions about our logos and your ideas about topics for Dangerous Discussions activities, I am most interested in your noticing the functions and features of this VERY BRIEF activity.   We think it has great promise for engaging people before, during, and after major face-to-face events, like conferences!  And we want your opinions about this kind of activity.

Interest in inter-role collaboration is very strong and still very difficult.
