Global Dialogue 2008 has already begun. Global Roundtables have begun, and you can participate now, today.
To see the work done click on a Global Roundtable in the Listing of the Global Roundtables. 
Workshop Sessions have also already begun. Start your own Workshop Session. Follow the process on the front page. Be a Leader.
The period August 17-22 is a time for the Workshop Sessions for summarizing results, and August 31 is the closing of
Global Dialogue 2008. If we continue to have sponsoring, Proceedings 2008 will be written and published in September/October 2008 and will be made available on the website of
the Global Community afterwards. Read the Proceedings of the Global Dialogue since it started in 1985. 
Any change in the scheduling of Global Dialogue 2008 will be shown on the website.
The proposed framework for sessions, and Opening and Closing Ceremonies is now available.
Scheduling at the physical site and the proposed framework for sessions at the physical site, i.e. day(s) of the Global Dialogue at the physical site,
and number of days reserved at the physical site, may change, and we may not know for certain about these parameters until July 2008.
Global Dialogue 2008 is being held all over the planet. Our website is used to relate results to everyone so as to continue the discussions with everyone else on Earth.
Participants may apply to lead a Global Roundtable(s)
and/or a Workshop Session(s).
Here is how it works.
All Global Dialogue 2008 issues were listed in the issues section.
Each Global Dialogue 2008 issue is connected to a Workshop Session or to a Global Roundtable.
Each Global Roundtable may have one or more Global Dialogue 2008 issues and has an index such as this:
- Opening Remark by Leader
- Procedure
- Work from participants and authors with a summary or abstract of each work
- Comments and recommendations from Participants (by name and address)
- Summary of comments from Participants
- Summary of recommendations from Participants
- Assessment of results of Global Roundtable and Conclusion
- Closing Remark by Leader
To connect with each Global Roundtable click on a Global Roundtable in the Listing of Global Roundtables 2008. 
Participants send their articles, research papers, comments, videos and other works of art, recommendations, and results from a forum or a brain-storming exercises.
The work of each participant is entered in his/her individual FILE and
summarized in the Global Roundtable section "Work from participants and authors with a summary or abstract of each work".
Leaders of the Workshop Sessions being held all over the world and in Nanaimo and Leaders of Global Roundtables are allowed to organize their sessions in their own town, global community, university or home, wherever, as long as they assume all costs and responsibilities.
Noone is being paid for their work and expenses. This is strictly on a volunteering basis and no money is available or will be available.
You may also invite the public, experts and all Participants to your Global Roundtable or Workshop Session. This is a grassroots process and everyone is invited.
Leaders send the above results to this office to be entered on the website for viewing by everyone.
Daily results of the Global Roundtables and Workshop Sessions are to be sent by email to
globalcommunity@telus.net
in the message area of the email (please no attachment unless necessary). Each email message should not be larger than 60 KB. Send
several messages but try to be within this limit. Only messages with email addresses shown under the Participants List will be read.
Leaders do not have to do this. They may even up-out of this process at any time without penalties of any
kind (let me know now if you cannot go on with this process). So please be understanding! We are breaking grounds with the
Global Dialogue and in the ways international conferences may be held in the future. Noone has ever organized a
Global Dialogue having people (including the general public) from all over the planet participating interactively from their own town, community, universities or homes.
All Participants are invited to send their work with comments and recommendations to the Leaders of their choice and
also directly to the Office of Global Dialogue 2008.
Participants are required to communicate with
their leaders of interest. You are required to discuss via email and send comments and recommendations to them. Leaders will relate
to this website your comments and recommendations and summarizing results.
All Leaders are required to send an Opening Statement related to their Global Roundtable or Workshop Session. A Closing Statement should also be
sent during the period August 17-22,
2008. These statements along with the comments and recommendations will be inserted in the space reserved to each Global
Roundtable and Workshop Session on our website.
The list of participants who have sent research papers is shown on our website. If you are planning to send a research paper do read
the section
' Expectations from those sending research papers ',
and the section
' Call for Papers '.
When you submit a paper you must fill and send us the Paper Submission Cover Sheet.
Research papers and other information will also be copied on our website in the Participant Listing section.
All Leaders will contact (by email) paper submitters who have written Lead Papers within their respective Global Roundtable and Workshop Session and ask for comments and recommendations. All papers must be reviewed. During the period August 17-22
leaders will summarize results and email them as well.
Participate in a global roundtable (s)
This table displays all Global Dialogue 2008 Roundtables. Corresponding Global Dialogue 2008 issues are shown in parenthesis.
Send an email specifying the roundtable you wish to be part of. A link with your name and info will be created in the Global Roundtable.
Then follow the link and see your work added along with the work of others. At the end of Global Dialogue 2008,
the Global Overview will mention your work and recommendations will be writen.
