<div dir="ltr">Hi ,<div><br></div><div>thanks Avri for sharing this, it is definitely good initiative and providing good materials for people to learn about policy development process and understand how to participate in working groups.

<br>
hi all,<br>
<br>
i built a little web page on our site to introduce links to small,<br>
bite-sized pieces of the newcomer open house pilot that took place<br>
yesterday. it met with good reaction from the people who participated,<br>
but it was a pilot and we're looking for ideas on how to improve it.<br>
the whole thing is about an hour, but it's broken into small pieces so<br>
that people can select what they'd like to look at.<br>
<br>
thanks to Nathalie Perigrine for coming up with and driving the idea.<br>
and Marika, Lars and Glen for making it happen. i was/am honored to<br>
have been asked to be the presenter.<br>
