Dear Participants of the Nutrient Pollution Control conferences of
the last two years,
Greetings some four months after the last and 6th meeting in Ankara,
Turkey. I hope this message finds you well.
One of the pledges I made to you at that meeting was to offer a
virtual location for this community to continue interacting in the
periods between the regional conferences. While the ultimate goal is
to offer you a fully interactive social networking platform to
support this community of practice (CoP), I would like to highlight
an initial offering:
Please visit http://www.iwlearn.net/nutrientreduction
At this page you'll find proceedings from the last two conferences
(including presentations and papers, photos, participant lists and
other proceedings), links to project websites and contact information
for everyone in this nutrient reduction CoP. Ultimately we hope these
pages will serve as social networking tool to support your continued
interaction, provide useful information related to nutrient reduction
(including a repository of documents and links) but also serve as a
"fun place" to post pictures and so forth.
Alongside these pages I've also created a one-stop mailing to address
to email all conference participants (nutrient@iwlearn.net). For the
moment, please use this to send relevant documents or make
announcements. Our intention is not to create a new spamming tool. If
you are interested we can create a more sophisticated online
discussion tool for you on the website. Of course if you don't want
to be on this list please either let me know, or simply write
nutrient@iwlearn.net with the subject line "unsubscribe".
Finally, I encourage you all to continue sharing information. You'll
note there is plenty of room at www.iwlearn.net/nutrientreduction for
more of the afore-mentioned items. Please take a chance to update
your or your project's contact information. Perhaps you'd like to
send a photo and some short biographical information to supplement
what's already posted. Please recommend anyone for that list that
we've missed. Please send in any more presentations to post. In
particular, please send me content for the "Background Materials"
section, which you'll notice is rather empty.
These pages also offer an opportunity to showcase your project's
innovations and success...so please send information or presentations
on that as well.
That's all for now. If there is demand we will try to offer a more
sophisticated platform. Otherwise, I hope to see you all again at the
next Regional Conference.
Best wishes,
Mish
