This is a a big deal for online consultation in Minnesota ... the fact that the event will be summarized and made available for key decision-makers and others should be enough incentive to add your ideas in the final days.
Cheers, Steven Clift MED ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 10:41:04 -0600 From: Griff Wigley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Last days of Metro Council online forum Greetings, The Metropolitan Council's first-ever regional online dialogue on the State of the Region will wrap up soon. The featured panelists finished their duties on Dec. 21, but the forum remains open for anyone to participate through Monday, Dec. 31. (The discussion boards have been very active, with over 500 messages posted to the three main topics of regional growth, traffic congestion, and affordable housing.) When it's all over, we'll create both a transcript and a summary of the event for Council staff and Council members to review. We'll also make these available to city, county, and state officials, advocacy groups, and anyone else concerned about these regional issues. We'll also email you an invitation in early January, asking you to complete a brief web-based questionnaire about the panel and forum. Meanwhile, we've opened up a Feedback topic in the discussion boards for you to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the event with me and other participants. This Feedback topic will remain open through the month of January. So I encourage you to join the discussion these last few days. There's still time to learn, to influence, and to begin forming relationships with fellow citizens and many public officials who are interested and involved in these important regional issues. Look for the State of the Region graphic in the upper right corner of the Metropolitan Council's home page at http://www.metrocouncil.org or go right to the forum at http://208.185.149.41. Let me know if you have trouble logging on.
