Our Discussions
We encourage anyone who is part of the growing dialogue & deliberation community to join our public discussions, whether or not you are a member of NCDD. Use the links to the left (under "Highlights") to go directly to our main interactive features, or read an overview of each of them below.
NCDD?s Discussion Lists
Thanks to WestEd's Web Dialogue Project, NCDD has been able to initiate dozens of online discussions (listservs) via a web interface that runs off of NCDD?s website. Subscribers to NCDD?s Discussion Lists may receive and send messages to the groups they are subscribed to via email (like a listserv) or via the web interface (like a bulletin board).
The discussion lists are used to help members of NCDD working groups keep in contact with one another, to give regional and interest-based networks a way to stay connected, to facilitate communication among various groups NCDD is collaborating with, and to provide a forum for exploration and networking among leaders in the dialogue & deliberation community.
We encourage everyone involved in the D&D community to join the main NCDD Discussion list, which has over 400 subscribers. For an example of the kind of knowledge that can be tapped into via this list, look over this summary of our December 2003 discussion about involving more conservatives in D&D efforts.

Thataway Forum
The Thataway Forum is an open message center and bulletin board for both members of NCDD and visitors to www.Thataway.org. It is a place to post practice-related questions for your peers to answer, air concerns, discuss specific issues and leave questions about this site and the field it supports.
NCDD?s Monthly Email Updates
Subscribing to NCDD?s monthly email updates will keep you informed about what?s new in the world of dialogue & deliberation ? and what?s new at www.thataway.org. This is an announcement-only list, not a two-way discussion, and you will never (well, almost never) receive more than one message a month from this list.
Please read this if you have subscribed to our Monthly Updates:
Because of the growing problem of spam, many ISP's and Web Hosts are installing very powerful spam filters. These filters can block anything that has been mass mailed like our updates mailing. To help ensure that you receive our updates, please add [email protected] to your address book, especially if you use AOL, Hotmail, Earthlink or similar services. Thank you.

NCDD Announcements list
This is a one-way announcement list for members of NCDD. Once a month or so, a message is sent to all NCDD members updating them on NCDD news and projects, and welcoming and introducing all new NCDD members. If you are a member of NCDD, but have not been receiving these members-only announcements, be sure to let us know.
