    Well, Rod, it seems to me your suggestions ought be considered. I
    believe work is underway to give the Colloquium a proper, permanent form
    for more people to profit from.

    Though he will have to speak for himself, I imagine that Doug himself is
    rather thinly spread, but suppose we could locate people of executive
    and management caliber, the kind who attract peers and who are familiar
    -- or are ready to become familiar -- with the subject matter, and who
    might like to organize themselves as an online community for developing
    a model presentation that then may serve group members in undertaking
    speaking engagements. Maybe the initial nucleus best be found in the
    proximity of the Bootstrap Institute.

    Might there be any intitative in the offing?
