anticipate dynamic debates. If you cannot come, we provide live streaming

*6.**  Debates and Comments within Members Community*

We hope you all will make more use of this google group email list for
exchange. Simply click “Reply all” to send your message. However, please
send personal greetings to individual members and not the group.

You may also wish to send articles or comments for internal circulation on
the “Community” section of the Global U website. How? When you visit the
Global U website, on the home (global) page, please go to “Members
Community”. Log in with the password “oguoguogu”. You will be asked again
to log in. Enter username: “member”, and password: “oguoguogu”. Click
“remember me” so you will be automatically logged in next time you visit
this site. This is a space exclusively for the Founding Members Community.
There are two sections. One is archive of all Founding Members Communiques.
The other is “Internal Documents for Members Community” (including books
that otherwise would infringe on copyright, etc). When you send us
something for uploading to this section, please specify that this is for
internal debates.
