Re: [Stoves] Thoughts from ETHOS meeting ending yesterday
Ron, Many people who have usually attended ETHOS are familiar with this list and go on and off the list depending on their needs. For some the list is just too demanding to keep up with daily but we can reach them easily. We might invite some in if we are discussing a topic that matches their interest or expertise. There is substantial expertise on this list. While the web tools have improved the common element of online communication in the developing world is still email. GACC could mirror this list on their site if they were interested in reaching the active GACC membership. Tom From: Ronal W.

Re: [Stoves] Thoughts from ETHOS meeting ending yesterday
Thanks Tom I think it is a good idea. If there is interest, topics will branch into useful territory. BTW Harold Annegarn and I forwarded our contribution to the documents for circulation - it was a follow-up to last year's presentation on metrics. This year we provided a set of definitions as our contribution to the GACC effort to develop a common lexicon. Look for it in the circulated documentation (or on the web).
