About the Discussion Forum
The Icom Agriculture Forum is a Web-based implementation of threaded discussions
like those found in Internet Newsgroups and knowledge-sharing among members of the
agri commodity community. Its focal point is an ongoing and expanding series of
electronic dialogues on key issues and challenges facing the Agricultural
Commodity community , with a particular emphasis on learning from the experience of
those who face these challenges in their daily lives. These dialogues are complemented by
other features, including a the speaker's Corner that provoke discussion and debate
on development issues, and resources for those who wish to develop their own on-line
dialogues on development issues or learn about other ongoing dialogues. Each topic
created in the forum becomes a public conversation between participants as well as those
who wish to simply read questions, statements and comments posted to the topic. In this
way, many people can benefit from the knowledge exchange. |
Icom Forum ContentThe Forum has
its roots in the growing recognition by the Indian commodity community and Many

| How to
Use the Icom Commodity Forums
The focal point of the
Icom Agri-Forum is an ongoing series of Development Dialogues. The Dialogues
sponsored by the Forum vary in their content, format and duration. However, they all share
a common goal -- to foster increased dialogue and knowledge-sharing on development issues,
in an inclusive, collegial atmosphere. Therefore, the Dialogues all have certain things in
common:
They are open to the
public; anyone interested in the subject and willing to adhere to the ground rules of the
Dialogue is welcome to join.
- They are, in most cases, focused on a
particular subject and limited in duration;
They are moderated
discussions; in other words, a moderator screens all posted messages in advance to assure
that they are germane to the discussion and follow the ground rules. This is simply to
assure that the discussion stays on topic, so as not to waste the time of all the other
participants, and remains civil and constructive.
They are all
accessible both through the World Wide Web (where they are archived for future reference)
and by email (through a "list serv" email distribution list), so that colleagues
with limited Internet access can participate.
The Icom Agri- Forum's
organizers will work to mobilize active participation in these dialogues by individuals
and commodity lovers from various countries. A particular effort will be made to
reach out to partner institutions in those countries -- training and research
institutions, think tanks, universities, non-governmental organizations and other
commodity trading development communities -- to encourage them not only to foster
participation in these dialogues but also, over time, to take an increasing role in
proposing, planning and leading on-line discussions and knowledge-sharing efforts on
development issues of their own choosing. |
