> but to listen and understand the issues and concerns.
> * The GPO staffs role is also to listen and understand the issues and
> concerns, and to provide insights into GPO strategic plans as appropriate.
>
> * The moderators role is to facilitate comment. The sessions are to
> discuss, listen, and comment to move the broad vision forward. The
> moderator will neither defend nor comment on the document.
> * Comments will be recorded. It is not the role of the recorder to
> offer opinions, but rather to record yours.
> * Participants are asked to focus their comments on the future needs
> of users of government information, and the steps that government
> agencies, GPO, and libraries need to take to meet these needs.
> * Respect all opinions. We may not all agree on every word in the
> document. Lets focus on the major concepts and the action plan

> Logistics

> opportunity before those who have had a chance make a second comment.
> * Build on other peoples comments so each comment can move us forward.
>
> * Not every comment can be addressed in this compressed time frame.
> What we can promise is that every comment will be recorded and considered.
