I want to thank everyone who contributed to this discussion via their well-thought-out posts and comments.  I think we have made a great start through identifying some of the thorny issues we need to work through on our quest for a new communications model.

There is much work to be done (I didn't even get to my politics of tools post this week).  I will be posting on this subject back on my own blog moving forward, as well as forming some working groups around a variety of the questions that are popping up out of this and other discussions that relate the future of communications.  I hope you will continue to provide your input and critique.  Please feel free to contact me if you want to volunteer to help!
