Priorities in LDN

[Guest guest]

O.K. since this is a LDN board, I will focus my efforts on LDN.

So as a first step we should agree on priorities, then select a max.

of two priorities (rememeber FOCUS is crucial). Once the priorities

are agreed upon, we should go on to the next step, how to achieve

them.

So here are two which look important to me.

1. Trial for LDN

2. Public awareness of LDN in the media (print, TV, radio).

Are there other less obvious priorities ?. This is the time to

decide the chime in.

Remember, we can harness the power of the internet to move

mountains.
