Subject: [UNFCCC youth] Join now! Youth Climate Round Table-topic suggestions this week, discussions next week!
To: unfccc_youth <unfccc...@googlegroups.com>, yc...@googlegroups.com
Voice your thoughts! Share your views!
Come and join the Youth Climate Round Table!
What is it?
· An open discussion among members of the youth movement on controversial and/or critical climate-related issues.
It is a Round Table. No one leads. Everyone has a voice.
It is NOT a debate which has arguments from both sides. It is an open
discussion which encourages multiple perspectives and perceptions.
Why is it being initiated?
To address one of the recommendations from the internal report, it is being initiated to serve these purposes:
· Open discussion within the youth movement on controversial and/or critical climate-related issues.
· Encourage critical thinking and understanding of key issues related to environmentalism, climate justice and other aspects of the climate issue.
· Enable the exchange of ideas and thoughts on climate-related issues.
· Foster interaction among members.
· Increase involvement and participation of members.
How can I join?
Request for membership on http://groups.google.com/group/YCRT
· Sign up for a googlewave account at http://wave.google.com (If you are using a Google account, you can sign in straight away)
· After your membership has been approved, sign in to Googlewave
Add YCRT@googlegroups.com to your Googlewave contacts.
Click on YCRT in your contact list and click ''Group Waves''
Start participating in discussions!
What is Googlewave?
· Watch an overview of Googlewave here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6pgxLaDdQw
· Another video on Googlewave http://wave.google.com/about.html
· Need help? Do check the Official Google Wavve Help Center. http://www.google.com/support/wave/?hl=en
Anything else I should know?
· Members propose topics throughout the week until Saturday 23:59 GMT under the wave titled “YCRT: Topic suggestions-due dd/mm/yy”
· Chosen topic will be open for discussion starting on Sunday under the wave titled e.g. “YCRT: Is it appropriate to … …?” “YCRT: Do you think… ….?”
· Topics will be closed after a week. However, there may be an extension for another week. (A new wave for the new week will still be initiated, and it will run concurrently with the old one)
· No one is the head/chair, but a ‘moderator(s)’ will help to post topic
· Members may start their own wave on other topics, or to ask questions. But no spamming.
· Waves that begin with “YCRT…” (short for Youth Climate Round Table) are posted by the ‘moderators’, and thus members could distinguish between an ‘official’ topic of discussion and a question or conversation posted by other members.
· All waves must be issue-based. Exchanges regarding UNFCCC, IYCM, internal coordination and WGs must be done on the usual email groups. Waves that fall beyond the parameters will be removed.
· During COY and COP, topics may be posted daily or one every 2 or 3 days according to the progress of the negotiations, and depending on whether or not this will function effectively.
Cheers,
Bottomlining Team
