        for and interested in. Lonnie's visit is hoping to provide
        information and education.

        How do we pass off information after the initial contact has
        been made and it's time to pass off to OPs. Keep the information
        off of the public list, keep information general on list and
        then sensitive information is passed directly when someone is
        identified as the OPs contact. 
        
        
* PTP Fragmentation (25 Minutes) 

        -- PTP is becoming fragmented and clique. Inter-friendship
        support. More and more private lists are happening. There is a
        need for this but not how the Over all organization should run.
        Need for faster inclusion into more in depth group involvement. 
        
        -- As organization serving the public as large. there should be
        as few secrets as possible. Everything, or a close to everything
        as possible, has to be public. Squabbles and disagreements
        should be kept public. 
        
        -- How to move as much as possible back into the public lists? 
        
        -- "Community groups work because people are Honest" --
