Sv: [Strawbale]Topic for ISBBC

["Lars Keller" <larskeller@livinghouses...>]

Dear Dirk

We think that it is absolutely a good idea for this to happen. I suggest that it can be a forum, this way anyone that is interested can participate and maybe you'll come up with some resolutions/results/tasks for the new year.

We don't know anyone that can do it. The forums will each have a facilitator who can promt conversation, keep things on track, make sure people get to speak, etc. Would you be interested in facilitating this forum? or do you know someone who would? You just need to bring the basic information so that the group has a place to start.

There will be a note taker for each forum, then any resolutions will be presented on the Friday for people to take on tasks, or just to announce it to the bigger group. 
Let me know what you think.

There is only one coming from Austria, an architecture student who arrives on Monday, but maybe he can help in some way?? His name is Michael Fürst.

- Do you know anything about Joachim Merkle joining the tour at Sieben Linden? 

- We are a bit worried that not many from Sieben Linden have paid. I think just Martin, Burkard and Sabine. We need to order food today. Can you guarantee that Jan, Manuel and yourself are coming? The food is the only financial risk we are taking so it would be good to have a definite answer, even if the payment takes a couple of days.

Thanks
Jo
