This page contains key information about the discussion area. Please read it before you post. |
Discussion Forums
To post your ideas in the discussion forums you need to register with a name, nickname or synonym.
The goal of the internet discussion forum is to prepare the discussions for
the conference in summer. This should help to identify the most interesting
discussion topics and to get discussions going into the
right direction in order to not waste time during the conference (no discussions
about what shall be discussed).
This is to achieve an ideal selection of discussion topics and to
avoid constraints by a definition of a programme by a small group.
Moderated Discussions
The discussions on this server will be (a) moderated to help keeping the focus
and (b) will be regularely summarised. There are 14 discussion groups set initially, but
more can be added upon request. Everybody can become moderator.
Moderators of successful discussion groups will be invited to the SGF
conference and will be highly prospective candidates for SGF delegates.
Funding for delegates is available.
Discussion Summaries
Regular discussion summaries will be provided by the moderator to enable people to catch up with discussions quickly and to join in.
Recommendation Proposals
One of the key goals for the SGF is to prepare recommendations, which will be accepted by the UNISPACE III plenary nad if possible taken into the so-called "Vienna Declaration", a short document of recommendations. Recommendation Proposals, which do not fit in any of the Discussion Forums shall be posted in this forum.
