congratulations on your birthday! And thank you for your wonderful book, Improv Wisdom. I really enjoyed reading it and I'm using it for my students at Stockholm University.

I just sent you an e-mail about my interests in adapting improvisational learning to foster agreement and innovation in the collaborative management of natural resources. I was wondering if you knew of anyone on the AIN that is also working on these kinds of questions.

Thanks to your book and your encouragement I am at the 10 days with Keith Johnstone Workshop. I have decided to blog about my experiences on the network. No great insights yet but the course has not started. Take care and carry on caring,
David
