Questions for DGOC:
1. Is this a good investment of our time?
2. What to call forum? (e-forum, discussion group, chat, exchange, meet, gab fest, groupthink, rap session, idea exchange...exchange….)
3. How will results be saved and shared? In email string or compiled into one document.
4. Can forum moderator responsibilities be shifted to different people throughout the year with a designated forum coordinator? Same program – different moderator. Consistency will come in the program format.
