> The Public Forum is structured to capture the best aspects of an
>in-person conference without requiring that participants leave their
>offices. Like a conference, it takes place over a defined interval. To
>addresss time zone conflicts, we have designated three "days" for
>discussion: June 25-26, June 26-27, and June 30-July 1.
>
> The topics for discussion each day are as follows:
>
> June 25 at 9:00 am - June 26 at 6:00 pm: Approaches,
> June 26 at 9:00 am - June 27 at 6:00 pm: Bounding Disciplines,
> and
> June 30 at 9:00 am - July 1 at 6:00 pm: Integration.
>
> Please note that times listed are Eastern Standard Time (Daylight
>Savings). We ask that all participants in the Public Forum commit to
>"attending" the conference over the course of the day for the topic
>that they are interested in so that the discussions maintain
>continuity.
>
> Each topic area, or symposium, will be facilitated by several
>"guest speakers" who are charged with raising issues within each
>topic, guiding the discussion to maintain focus, and highlighting new
>ideas or approaches. The facilitators will also aid the moderator in
>preparing a synopsis of the day's discussion and a list of questions
>for consideration the subsequent day. In addition to preparing the
>synopsis, the moderator will "approve" submissions to the discussion
>according to the following simple rules:
>
> 1. the submission is under 250 words,
> 2. it is relevant to the topic, and
> 3. it does not offend common rules of courtesy.
>
> All are invited to follow the progress of the Public Forum at

>
>To participate in the discussion, you must register to become a member
>by sending email to questions@consecol.org . Please indicate your
>name, your email address, and the topic area you wish to join. In an
>effort to keep the discussion manageable, participation will be
>limited to the first 50 members who register for each topic. Your
>registration will be confirmed by email.
