I find all of the suggestions regarding future OM work very interesting and exciting and I will send along an India contact (in Bangalore) soon but I'd like to echo "t" who wrote (see below): " just one more thing: I really wanted to know how can we further reflect on the last conference. it seems that we are jumping at a next stage without really thinking over the last one." I would love to hear some more report backs and evaluation, or working group follow-up to the last conference. This is useful for many reasons, and without it, it is pretty difficult for those of us that cannot usually attend the confab, to participate. I read one report back right after the conference - but nothing since - perhaps I've overlooked something.

I think somebody suggested that the polymedia group reassembled through the list... but I was never from the polymedia list, only this one, and I am afraid that if we continue the discussion separately the process will be always *obscure*. my suggestion will be that we set a group to work and a site maybe the wiki or the future one with concrete reflections regarding format, local knowledge, post-network strategies, latin-american issues and so on. this work is really relevant for places that need to build up their network capacities.. x thanks, obrigada, gracias, namaste t On sábado, set 25, 2004, at 01:03 Brazil/East, Ellie Rennie wrote: A group of OM people have begun to put together a proposal to hold OM V in India.
