Pat,
I hope the word got out or gets out to the environmental communicators, educators, and information specialists. All of these people have the potential for using the contents of these two national dialogues as data for research.
I do not know of any other repository of raw data in term of the actual original messages of a prolonged dialogue on any environmental topic. The resting place of these messages will be the data archive for future environmental communicators, et al. to study the content of messages, follow patterns of response, trace threads as they became major topics, quantify the weight of words used, etc.
The Society for Technical Communication might be a GREAT place to send a press release about the availability of this data archive, So would the Society of Environmental Journalists, and I am sure MANY more professional organizations and academic research institutions.
I would suggest EPA finding a long-term archive in which to place these results and those of future National Dialogues.
