I have benefited very much from them.<br></font></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I too have benefitted from the discussions but at the same time I find both the volume of emails + the nuanced nature of some of the conversation means I have a hard time keeping up. My feeling is that this might be inhibiting broader participation and even understanding of the issues at hand. </div><div><br></div><div>I was chatting with Ginger and we both like the idea of having discussion summaries but recognize that that is a significant task for any one person to take on (although if there is a volunteer that would be great!). We then thought it might be more feasible to ask individual contributors to synthesize their own contributions. Drilling down to the essence of everyone's arguments might bring enhanced clarity to the discussion and also open the door to more diverse participation.</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div>Chad</div><div><br></div></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; ">----</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; "><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Chad Lubelsky - Global networking, policy and advocacy coordinator</div><div>Association for Progressive Communications<br>Montreal, Canada<br><a href="mailto:d@apc.org">chad@apc.org</a> -</div><div><br></div><div>---</div><div><br></div><div>APC 1990-2010 <a href="http://www.apc.org/">www.apc.org</a><br>Thank you for helping make APC what it is today!<br>¡Gracias por hacer de APC lo que es hoy!<br>Merci d'avoir contribué à faire d'APC ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui!</div></div><div><br></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
