Project Wiki Added
We've started a project wiki, which will eventually be the place where the Working Groups will assemble and edit their research results and statements of ideals. Nigel and I will assemble the guidelines for project research and post them there early in 2009 in preparation for the Welcome Event. This space will function in much the same way as the Wikipedia.
A link to the wiki has been added to the navigation bar at the top of every page.
Project Summary
The basic description of RSVP is contained in the Project Summary. The Summary includes the Mission, Values, Goals and Objectives and the basic time line for the various activities of RSVP. It is the primary governing document for the project used by the consultants to develop the rest of the details.
This Summary is by no means the complete detail for RSVP's design. Additional documentation will be posted in the next few weeks that fills in the details of the meeting activities, research and visioning protocols and how we intend to use some web utilities to help the Working Groups collaborate on their research tasks.

Thinking Outside the Box Canyon: Press
Here is the local press coverage for the Thinking Outside the Box Canyon event that I could find. If there is anything else out there, please let me know.
• Joan May Daily Planet letter March 11, 2008
• Post-Event article in Daily Planet March 18, 2008
• Post-Event article #2 in Daily Planet March 18, 2008
• Joan May Telluride Watch commentary March 24, 2008
• Plum TV article March 24, 2008
One of the common themes that runs through these articles is the enthusiasm of the participants for continuing the conversations begun at the Box Canyon event. It is that desire to continue that is the genesis for the RSVP effort.
If you attended the Box Canyon event, feel free to add your comments on what you thought were the most important things you experienced.
UPDATE: Joan May pointed out one additional article I had overlooked:
• Post-Event article in the Telluride Watch March 18, 2008
Thinking Outside the Box Canyon: Presentations
The creation of the RSVP was based on an event was held at the Mt Village Conference Center called "Thinking Outside the Box Canyon" on March 17, 2007. The event was fairly well-documented:
• A video of the presentation is available at Telluride WebTV.
Copies of the Powerpoint presentations made by both Jonathan Schechter of the Charture Institute in Jackson Hole and Dave Riley, CEO of Telluride Ski and Golf are also available in pdf format (needs Adobe Reader).
• Jonathan's presentation is available in either full page format or in 3 slides/page format.
• Dave's presentation is available in either full page format or in 4 slides/page format.
Also, Jonathan Schechter's presentation to CAST (Colorado Association of Ski Towns) is on the Mt Village Town website. This presentation is roughly the same information as the presentation to the Box Canyon event.
A news coverage summary for the event will be in a separate post. There will be more discussion about the event later, but this post is just to make the information available.
