EDWARD DE BONO'S MESSAGE
14th September 1997

Northern Ireland Design Conference

The main activity continues to be the Northern Ireland Design Conference. This has now moved into the second phase. Selected contributors to the outer ring have now been invited in to the middle ring for further, and more focused thinking. There are ten topics and each topic has its own conference 'room'. Political leaders such as Gerry Adams and Lord Alardice have already indicated that they will have representatives in the final inner ring.

At any time contributions can be made to the outer ring and contributors will continue to be invited to join the middle ring. Many of the contributions to the middle ring are good and I want these contributions to be viewed, I appreciate this is a change in the conduct of the middle ring conference and any contributors who are unhappy about this should contact me (edwdebono@msn.com). It is planned that the first volumes of contributions from the middle ring will be published on this website on 16th September. But only those invited to the middle ring can make posting at this level. Anyone wishing to enter the middle ring must first submit suggestions to the outer ring/level1.

A number of requests have been received for links to be made to other websites that are pertinent to this design conference. If anybody wants a website listed on a separate webpage please contact me at edwdebono@msn.com.
