I agree, Phil, that it would be good to continue discussing some of the conference issues through this forum. I would add, or rather ask if there are any more general or public fora that we can use or link to in order to spread the word and the arguments more generally, ideally bringing in practitioners who don't usually participate and perhaps even a wider education community and others. It was good to meet you and others.
