SIG Guidelines:

Everyone knows a piece of what the future might hold.  Hence, everyone is heartily invited to  share their thoughts & insights and add to what we hope is a frothy, stimulating, and challenging exchange of ideas with persons having a wide variety of views and perceptions. 

We hold to the ideal of discussing Futures, not ãTheä Future. This recognizes that multi-tiered, multi- faceted, pluralistic Futures (plural) may be in store for us.  We focus on possible futures. 

What was past - or is present - is only germane to our conversation if it can be referenced to directly illustrate futures that may await us.  Meetings for dates and time.
