<p>There has already been some thinking on a good topic for the March Community Cafe (<a href="http://www.theworldcafecommunity.org/events/march-world-cafe-online" target="_blank">click here for more information, and to register</a>).</p>
<p>Here's what I took from the group "wall":</p>
<p>Wilfried Wilkins, Feb 3:</p>
<blockquote>End poverty - Wouldn´t that be a brilliant theme for one of the next WC?!<br/>
</blockquote>
<p>Ria Baeck, Feb 4:</p>
<blockquote><p>and what has ending poverty to do with the production of food, our own relationship with food and the land; and then what have World Café practitioners to do with that?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Where would YOU like to take this topic? Is something sparked for you by what Wilfried and/or Ria said? Are there other topics you'd like to explore in March's Community Cafe?</p>

<p>So... what's on your mind? Is there a subject or inquiry that you'd like to explore with the community here? Does the topic we'd discussed for January's Community Cafe still resonate, or is something else taking up "brain space" for you now... share your thoughts here.</p>
<p>I learned about the work of Nancy Kline today, whose work is focused around what she calls "Time to Think"; creating the environment that allows us the spaciousness to really think together about the things that concern us, individually and collectively. I like that idea very much, and personally feel there is a great affinity there with the World Cafe's principle of "creating hospitable space", which in my view is really about creating the conditions for deep conversation and collaborative thinking to emerge.</p>

<div>This thread is to explore the topic for this Cafe, so that its most relevant and meaningful to us. Amy and I thought about starting the new year with the overall topic of<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> <b>Vision</b>. And to see the personal vision in relation to the collective vision and maybe the collective needs. </span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">So starting points could be questions like:</span></div>

Hey all,<br/><br/>Glad to see so many people provide input in our March/April Inquiry Circle conversation. Let's build on this momentum!<br/><br/>We are ready to announce the second "Inquiry Circle" theme, which is on immigration reform. As the Arizona Immigration law has divided many people around the country and the world, we are faced again with questions about how to deal with illegal immigrants in the United States. The question is:<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold;">"What is showing up in this issue that can offer us deeper insights on how to develop fair and just immigration policy?"</span><br/><br/>Here is a link to a New York Times Article that can provide some context for this specific topic: <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/us/politics/24immig.html">http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/us/politics/24immig.html</a><br/><br/>Feel free to offer ideas and deeper questions that will serve us in exploring such an important issue in today's political/social climate.

Is it too early to start thinking about May as well? I'm new to this group (and the community) and unfortunately can't join this Saturday's call, although you may have noticed that didn't keep me from throwing my two cents in re the question! I am very interested in this project going forward though, and I hope I'm not getting ahead of things in opening this topic... <div><br></br></div>

<div>How about a cafe exploring the potentialities and limitations of the virtual world for creating deep social, political and/or economic transformation? Obviously this project and the second life work you have done is directly connected to the idea that these are powerful new tools and well worth developing. How far can we expect to go with them? </div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I recently read Clay Shirky's "Here Comes Everybody," which makes the case for our being in the midst of a true social revolution due to living in a wired world. Then there's Jaron Lanier's "You Are not a Gadget," which takes a somewhat dimmer view I think, although I have only read an excerpt (pdf attached).</div>

The question for our first month’s Inquiry Circle is:<br/><br/>
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px;">”What crucial conversations should we as a global community be having in light of what recently happened in Haiti, Chile and now Turkey? What are the critical questions we should be engaging in relation to these?"</span><br/><br/><br/>
