Having lurked for many months, I hope you'll excuse this urgent question.
How do I best draw the attention of the online journalistic community  to a
truly important but so far little known event happening in 2 1/2 weeks.
It's the State of the World Forum, an inter-disciplinary meeting in San
Francisco of some 3-400 world leaders - from science, politics, business,
environment etc - meeting outside the usual institutions, to figure out the
big problems and some solutions. Many big names are Gorbachev, Sagan,
Arias, Naisbitt, Jane Goodall, Jim Clark, Shimon Peres - and a hundred more
who are famous in their field. Also major initiatives - on nuclear and
conventional weapons, on toxic chemicals, on poverty.

The Forum has up to now been relatively un-wired. As one who knows and
supports them I belatedly persuaded them to modestly fund a site, just up
(www.worldforum.org) - and now I want it used. We've put up 150 pages,
people can register to attend, the whole ball of wax is there - but not
much time.  Would really appreciate advice and contacts on how to get the
word out quickly and effectively.

My thanks in advance.
