Hello all,

No problem, Sphinx, I'm glad you spoke up. Yes, I am honored to 
participate in the World Social Forum in Nairobi in January.

I have ideas for three "tracks" or "streams" of workshops. They are: 
Introduction to Formal Consensus (Intro), Better Meeting Skills (BMS) 
and Training for Teachers (T4T) to teach Formal Consensus (FC). I think 
everyone involved in this event should attend an Intro workshop. People 
who want to be facilitators of Formal Consensus meetings should attend 
the Better Meetings Skills workshop and people who would like to teach 
FC should attend the T4T. Each of these workshops could be repeated 
several times.

The Intro is usually a 2-day(14 hour) training. If possible, I should 
do at least one of these for those who are really dedicated. I am 
willing to design a shorter, perhaps 4 hour, Intro workshop so more 
people can have access to the information. The BMS workshop can be 4 
hours. The T4T is also usually a 2-day (14 hour) workshop. I am willing 
to make this a one-day (7 hour) training.

I do not yet know when I am arriving. I am available in early January, 
certainly before the 13th. I will need a letter inviting me to this 
event from someone in Kenya and it needs to state that I will be 
visiting friends, how long I will be there, and where I will be staying.

Thank you for inviting me to participate. I am excited by the 
possibilities and look forward to meeting all of you.
