Dear Colleagues,

The World Hall launch was not entirely with out a glitch. For about an  
hour voting and other changes were not accepted by the system. The  
problem has been fixed. If you received a blank page as a response,  
please redo the action.

The system is now working. We are looking forward to the ongoing  
activity.

Please find the system at
http://www.worldhall.org/breastfeeding

If there are any problems please let us know by sending an email to [log in to unmask] 
. There are students standing by to fix any difficulties.

Thank you,

Naomi


> Dear Colleagues,
>
> I want to tell you about a new web resource that can be of real  
> service to the breastfeeding community and beyond.  World Hall  
> enables us to discuss policy issues, identify who can do something  
> about them, propose actions and vote ---- to have our voices heard  
> by those in positions to implement change.
>
> This is a unique opportunity: World Hall is being launched in the  
> breastfeeding community.  Actions regarding ban the bags,  
> breastfeeding in public, breastfeeding in the workplace, insurance  
> coverage for lactation services and others are already posted on  
> World Hall.
>
> World Hall is different than a breastfeeding listserv or blog. We  
> will be joined in the conversation by activists in other areas  
> allowing for cross conversation and voting, enriching all involved.  
> Our active engagement in World Hall will raise the visibility of  
> breastfeeding to all who are listening to and conversing on World  
> Hall. World Hall is free and non-commercial. It was developed by  
> students at the New England Complex Systems Institute (necsi.edu)  
> with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  
> The CDC is a great example of a major player that is watching the  
> system and paying attention to the actions proposed and discussed.
>
> Your active engagement in World Hall will help to raise the  
> visibility of the issues we all work on every day. Please vote, add  
> new actions, comments, and identify new issues and players.  Share  
> World Hall with others.
>
> The site is at:
> http://www.worldhall.org/breastfeeding
>
> I look forward to meeting you there.
