I think it would good if the NON - NOMC?s could listen in on our calls. The more people we give a taste of our philosophy the better. Sent from my iPhone

I would be happy to have one that includes those who practice under the vision-centered approach, but I would like to be sure that we can have a conversation just among our people in a purified space.
The reason I say that is that I think the call with the vision-centered folks will end up taking on the focus of us sharing what we do with them, and that would distract from what I would expect to have on the call that is just for Structured Discovery practitioners.
For me, there is value to having that interaction with outsiders for us to teach them, but I would benefit from that purified space to talk, too.
Mahalo and aloha,
Justin

From: NOMC <nomc-bounces at lists.nbpcb.org> On Behalf Of Edward Bell Sent: Tuesday, April 21, 2020 5:51 PM To: NOMC Mailing list <nomc at lists.nbpcb.org> Subject: [Nomc] Question about zoom participants
Hello,
First, my apology for the dropped zoom call today. I now know what the problem is and will work for that not to happen again.
My question is about participation in any future of these zoom meetings. At national convention we open our conference to anyone interested, but we keep this NOMC list primarily restricted to only certified NOMC. Last week, I mostly only allowed NOMC onto the zoom call list. This week I am getting increasing numbers of requests to participate by O&M people who are not NOMC. So far, I am adding them to the registration list; however, I do realize in these times you all are discussing somewhat sensitive information, some of which others may not agree with. My question to those who are NOMC: From next week forward for as long as we do these weekly zoom calls, are you all comfortable with conventional O&M joining this conversation or would you rather I restrict it to only NOMC at this time. I am glad to do it either way
