[Chapter-delegates] dormant chapters

[Anne Lord]

Franck, All,

Building up the fabric of relationships is one of the key aims of the  
Sphere Project.   In addition to Franck's great suggestion below,  
both myself and Sabrina are available if anyone would like to test  
out Marratech or just connect up to chat. We are reaching out on a  
one-on-one basis but this is slow. It can be supplemented by Chapter  
delegates reaching out to each other (as I know many already do).   
Consider which Chapter you might be interested to  find out more  
about and with whom you do not have a connection, and then initiate a  
one-on-one conversation with them (we can help with bridging the  
communication if necessary).

Just some thoughts... :)

Anne
