Sub on systems: Stefan Seiter

Michelle,
I think you captured our charge very well and gave us a great start to move ahead.
Regarding next steps, it seems that we have a good amount of time to generate questions for the round table and I suggest to first brainstrom as a whole group. I am afraid that at this early stage one person's list of questions becomes THE LIST which others just modify here and there. Maybe we can create certain categories or areas of questions and then all of us can submit questions to each (or selected) of these question categories. I am not sure what these categories should be. Maybe we could use the STP model S for Situation (what is and what has been) - T for Target (what is the vision or where do we want to go)and P for Pathway (how do we get there - in the reality of our situation). We could also simply use "the past - the present - the future" or some other way of categorizing questions. Suggestions?

For me personally it is too early to make a committment on drafting the symposium proposal. Of course if some of us are ready to go more power to them.
Thoughts on past and present systems tools and methods later.
