<DIV>Not as many thoughts as Kazu. By the way, Kazu, I appreciate your
thoughtful process and the insights you shared with us for consideration. It
adds to my perceptions.</DIV>
<DIV>My thoughts speak to (can thoughts speak?) the goals of the conference.
Since it is Hampshire based with lots of person power coming from students and
folks close in age to undergrads and grads, are we mainly looking toward that
age group and the academic community in general? That is fine with me. But
if not, I think our outreach strategies and program planning need to keep
in mind how we cultivate participation from individual community activists who
do not have an affiliation with an academic community either by job, experience
or location. One important consideration is the sustainability of this work. It
can't (and doesn't, of course) only depend on the energy of folks who may leave
the Valley in a few years. So I think it will be important to build into the
structure of the day, ways to think about capacity building, sustainability
and creating/strengthening/ insuring cross-Valley, cross- identity, cross
organization etc. networking. </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
