Network for Peace through Dialogue
First, the presenters – Karen Ross and Pamela Zivari -- introduced themselves. Then, for an initial ‘go-round, Pamela Zivari presented the question "Who are you? Describe any satisfying experiences you have had with on-line dialogue, even if was simply between two people. What qualities pervaded it? What made it work?" Some had conducted long-distance romantic relationships via email and found it satisfying, others had created professional discussion groups but had found the inability to guarantee privacy within the group a difficult thing. Then, after the principles of High Quality Dialogue (HQD) were distributed Karen Ross relayed a Power Point presentation on the Shaping Our Future program. Afterwards, the attendees discussed the challenges in their own on-line dialogues with tone and privacy among other things. Attendees were impressed with the fact that in each SOF dialogue, every conversation was analyzed according to the HQD principles.
