[Chapter-delegates] Sample Internet-related issues: question to board members and candidates

[Anne Lord]

hi Marcin,

Thanks for your questions.  With respect to your second and third  
questions,  these are both good subjects for input into the Sphere  
Project, where currently small project groups are forming around  
particular issues that have surfaced through the consultations. The  
Sphere Project is now moving into Phase 2 titled "An invitation to  
creative participation" and you and other readers of this list are  
invited to join the small projects described under the heading  
"Project Briefs" at:

+Project#Phase_2_An_invitation_to_creative_participation

or if the above link is broken, please use this link:

I find the questions you raise interesting.  I hope that you and  
others consider joining or forming a Sphere project group and that  
this provides a practical avenue for you to work with others on a  
topic of mutual interest.

Best wishes
Anne
