Dear BrendanMcKeague, thanks for your report! Here is a little variant to putting the report on everyones chair: after morning news someone (helpers/assistants/apprentices/people who did the work) carries the reports in and places them into the center of the circle. First, this is a good time to express appreciation for the work the crew did overnight. Second, people get up and move around and take into hand their book of proceedings...this step of taking "possession" always seems very natural and very active...often some people will grab several copies and distribute them to others...so its another chance for people to organize their work themselves.. peace mmp We had the first day's reports printed overnight and distributed on everyone's chairs as they arrived second morning - fascinating to feel their surprise (even tho they had been told this was going to happen - don't think they really believed it would), their excitement and their focus on reading - it was intense for the first half-hour - then the morning news and few new conversations - there were only four and five topics posted for 100 people for each of the two sessions and everyone participated intently (seemed to me) in each one - as though they had really named the most important issues for the group....
