Dawn; Well done! I was away and did not see that there was a meeting
online this afternoon. I am a terrible co-chair and I own that completely.
I don't see what I can do to help except to say that one thing we
probably need to do is to plan that everyone that might want to join in
with the forum will not be able to due to lack of broadband or
technology skills. If we can scale everything down to something
manageable then it can be recorded (possible easily with Zoom or
Facbook) and anyone can listen to what's been said (we could even make
copies for a DVD or after things settle back down we could have a wine
evening and invite people to join us to "hear" what went on and ask them
to add to the list of ideas/goals we will create. I think making
everything super simple and only lasting 40 minutes perhaps on April
5th, and the on April 6th afternoon (people already have that time
scheduled perhaps) we could create a good basic list of possibilities.
This is very far from the original plan but it creates a substantial
amount of info to build on. Annie
