Hi Clara,

That's a great idea! I was thinking the same kind of thing but didn't
want to say anything negative, but your alternative is most valid.

I wanted to ask if there are people on this list who would be up for
forming a small facilitation group to help with plenaries, discussions etc.

I we had asked Seeds for Change if they were up for doing it this year
but they politely declined. Computer enthusiasts are probably not their
priority for unpaid work :)

This is something that I've done some of in the past but I wanted to
really take a back seat this year and give more workshops instead. I'm
up for chipping in and helping however.

Also, If you know people in your networks who have these skills why not
reach out to them to come along as they would be most welcome.

So if you up for doing some facilitation please let me know on or off
list, nice one!

nice one
Mick

would be properly organised and if anyone was up for it.  you've
definitely brought me down to ground a bit there - must've spent a
little too long doing events with People & Plant I think....:P
