Martin, word to the wise, give a link when sending a message asking someone to look at something, like this: [[IncomePilotProject]].  It's now on my watchlist.

Hi Martin, I would suggest you ask people to think and respond to [[WikiWork]] that you think is valuable to the conversation. ~~ [[MarkDilley]]
 
 
 
Mark, I never tried that before because I thought it was bad Wiki etiquette – being too “pushy” - rather if people have interest in the topic they go there on their own.

Thanks Mark! I see this is posted at Department of Agricultural & Resource Economics, UCB. Note this is the type of subject matter the USDA's cooperative division deals with, also the cooperative attorney I mentioned on the phone.

Thanks for the great advice Ted - I will do next time! I am also not clear on the next steps. I suspect however that in some way more awareness must be gained, or very few will participate in this brainstorming - so I am interested to see if some others have ideas on how to gain more participants.

Hi Martin, The [[AboutUsLogo]] [[ConsensusPoll]] has surpassed all it's [[AboutUsLogo:About The Consensus Poll#.5B.5BGoThresholds.5D.5D|GoThresholds]] and we will be turning on the [[AboutUsLogo:About The Consensus Poll#.5B.5BDoneTimer.5D.5D|DoneTimer]] as soon as all participants have been notified.  This means that all participants now have the opportunity to check [[AboutUsLogo]] one more time, to make sure we haven't overlooked something.  Please feel free to change the document and/or change your status, if need be. Best, [[User:Obed Suhail|Obed Suhail]]
 
 
 
== [[WhoWeAre]] ==
 
 
 
Hi,
 
 
 
I would just like to tell you about the [[WhoWeAre]] consensus poll. This is a unique opportunity for all community members to discuss and decide what AboutUs is and more importantly what role we, the community, plays.
 
 
 
The discussion is still in its initial stages and there are a handful of people involved in this discussion. But it's not enough. Every one of us has a stake in this process. We all need to air our views. Our opinions will make a difference. We cannot and must not let a handful of people define us. We must speak out and contribute because we are being defined and I for one would like to have a say in how I am being defined.
 
 
 
Please contribute to this really important project. Without you it cannot successfully create a good definition of who we are. [[User:Tanwir Shah|Tanwir Shah]]

Inventing that Helps Tiny Businesses


In general I am a student of “process”. I try to observe and understand what really makes things tick. This has relevance to transparency, democracy, and empowerment issues. Sometimes the most important things for the populace to know, are things that some relatively “few” people within the populace don’t want others to know. When students of process are observing and trying to understand your process, they risk being viewed as a pain in the neck – it’s not an activity where one should expect to get lots of “high fives”.

Some subjects that catch my interest are listed below:

RiskSharing

IncomePilotProject

Topsoil

Process Transparency

RiskParticipation

BetterAutomation
