Taking Democracy to Scale | Bulletin No. 3, June 10, 2002
------------------------------------   -----------------------------------

Three Items in this Edition


1 | Taking Democracy to Scale Contacts
--   ------------------------------------------------

In response to several requests for email addresses of conference participants, we are attaching with this bulletin an Excel list with contact names, emails, and phone numbers.  As a formality, I would like to remind you to contact list individuals before forwarding the list to others who might request access to your database (we recommend adding it to your database as a separate category).


2 | EPA Citizens Jury
--  ------------------------

For those of you in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, June 13 be sure to stop by the EPA for a briefing on a Citizens Jury on Climate Change [held over five days in Baltimore, March of this year].  The brief will be held in Room 4118 EPA West, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, 3-4 p.m.

Topics citizens deliberated included:
What potential impacts of global climate change (positive or negative) are most notable or of most concern?
Is it likely or unlikely that global climate change will have significant impacts for human and/or natural systems?
In your opinion, what steps, if any, should be taken to address climate change?



3 |  AmericaSpeaks Seeking Facilitators & Volunteers
--  -------------------------------------------------------------------

AmericaSpeaks is recruiting table facilitators and volunteers for the July town meeting, ‘Listening to the City’ which will bring 5,000 citizens from around the New York City region to discuss plans for the redevelopment of lower Manhattan.  Recruited from all 50 states, facilitators will play a crucial role to ensure that all perspectives at table discussions are heard.
