7 ONE FINAL REMARK The nature of this workshop is to facilitate collective thought through deliberation on the central topic Participants will without doubt face a paradox: the better they succeed in deepening the discussion on these matters, the more there will be to further deliberate Thus, time in the next two days will not only be a limited resource, but clearly one in very short supply To continue a rich dialogue among all of you on this topic, after this personal meeting, you will be invited to maintain, if interested, a virtual dialogue through an ad hoc blog on internet that will prolong your fruitful exchanges of information and knowledge 7
