Dialogue suggestions

[Laurie Maak <lauriem@network-democracy.org>]

Thanks to everyone for joining the EPA Dialogue. We have a terrific group of parrticipants, panelists and host. The discussion has been terrific!

I wanted to share a few tips that may be useful to you as you are  reading messages and navigating the site: 

*You can view the discussion by Topic. Select the Topic by using the pull-down menu in the right-hand section of your screen in a message indices.

*When you are reading messages click on the RELOAD button in your web browser and the messages that you have read will appear in blue in the message indices. 

*When you are reading a message you can move to the next or the previous message by clicking on the arrows to the left and right of red "Date", "Subject" or "Thread" viewing options located above the message text window.

*It is a good idea to compose messages in a word processing program, save as text, then copy and paste it into the message form. Editing is easier a d you'll have a record of what you sent in.

*The Briefing Book is chalked full of valuable resources. The Draft Policy is located in the GENERAL REFERENCE secttion; EPA Public Involvement Policies and Regulations.

*The Discussion Agenda 
	http://www.info-ren.org/network-democracy/epa-pip/join/agenda.shtml

I'm looking forward to the next six days! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
