URGENT: Draft Agenda and Timeline of Trainers' Meeting

[pi villanueva <pi@isiswomen.org>]

hi!

Below is the proposed daily schedule/timeline of the WENT2000 Trainers'
Meeting. Please go over it, and send your comments and suggestions before
Wednesday (19 April 2000). I have also *assigned* some of us to
facilitation and input roles. If you are one of these lucky souls I have
given assignments to, please write back to say if it is okay or not. I
apologize for not clearing this first with the concerned trainers, but I'm
in a real rush to get our agenda and timeline in order. I hope nobody feels
constrained to say yes or no.

Thursday to Sunday are declared official national holiday in observance of
the Christian Passion of Christ. I will be offline and will only come back
to life -- just like Jesus did -- in the evening of Easter Sunday.

I hope to revise this schedule, incorporating all your comments and
suggestions on Wednesday night. I will also try to put everything in html
to help us visualize the flow of the meeting.
