> 
> Dear Colleagues,
> 
> Please note that consensus paper is now on the repository and can be downloaded and added to 
> there.
> http://twiki.wedgeblade.net/bin/view.cgi/Main/ConsensusComp.Thank you very much 
> Gordon for putting
> it up. Please see his instructions below for using the repository.
> 
> I have already received about 30 requests for Document so hope most of you can find it on the 
> repository. 
> If you can´t get it for some reason, just let me know and I will send it to you by email. Lets keep 
> all the editing,
> add ons etc in one spot- the repository please. Thanks.
> 
> In the next day I plan to work on an introduction which I will add to the document. This 
> introduction will include
> something about the community writing this document. There are already people with no 
> experience of the OE
> Community asking for this document so I am sensing the necessity for this context. Others of 
> you may want to
> add to the intro. 
> 
> As you see the materials, please feel free to share your experiences with consensus and place 
> thoughts in most
> appropriate section or add a section as needed. This is a place where we all have the 
> opportunity to debrief
> ourselves and others on 45 years of applied research on a method of decision making we have 
> called consensus. 
> 
> The main guideline I suggest is that we operate out of is a deep respect for each other, our 
> ongoing applied research
> and our planet which is crying out for authentic dialogue and decision making. 
> 
> Go well,

>     Understand. I got your file and have just popped it up on the 
>     Repository, under Reflective Writings, so it is available there for 
>     everyone to see, add to or download. For those in a hurry to get to it,

>     No password is required to view or download items on the Repository. To 
>     post or edit items, one does need to do the one time registration and 
>     thereby choose a password. I just clicked the "remember my password" 
>     box when I registered, and I've never had to worry about it again. If 
>     anyone ever does forget their password when they want to log in and do 
>     some editing of material on the Repository, it's easy to click the "I 
>     forgot my password" link, and it is immediately sent to that person's 
>     email.
>     
>     I know David has been trying, as he says, "to retire the 
>     oecommunity.grouphub.com site and concentrate on the Repository." It 
>     was with that in mind that we recently ported materials from the 
>     Denver Springboard meeting earlier this year from that site over to the 
>     Repository. (If you missed that, check out the link to it in the 
>     Repository's left sidebar.)
>     
>     I did get the feeling that you were about to be overwhelmed with 
>     individual requests for copies of your work. This should at least save 
>     you from having to respond to each of those with a separate email --
