Thanks for your initiative, Ken, but as you say: We'll see how it goes over the next few days... I'd rather wait until the circus is over. Alas, for the time being my hunch is that it will be rather difficult to find the glass half-full this time around...
By the way: Hats off - yet again - to the ENB team! Following closely would be so much harder without their tremendous effort...

Ken Conca An: GEPED 21.06.2012 16:50 Gesendet von: [email protected] Bitte Antwort an conca GEPED-ers: I am struck by the silence on the list as Rio+20 plays out. For those not following closely, but interested, here is a link to the "text for agreement" that Brazil has brokered as the host delegation: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2012/jun/19/rio-20-future-we-want-draft-text Brazil and many others are anxious to see it not be reopened for negotiation; we'll see how that goes over the next few days. If folks on the list would like to write a paragraph (max) summarizing their thoughts about what is happening, isn't happening, should happen, can't happen, etc., send it to me <[email protected]> and I'd be happy to string them together and circulate to the list. Include your name and institutional affiliation. Feel free to respond now, or in the coming days, or to wait until the circus is over. I am just curious as to the range of views that are out there in our intellectual community....Ken Conca
