    • 9:00 am - 11:00 pmModule 3: Tying it all togetherThis final module has two parts: 1) Collecting all the ideas into an idea pool, developing these together with our comments, and voting on those that make the most sense 2) These ideas will have implications for the way that we do things in ILRI. An open space blog will therefore be constructed for Thursday to review the implications for us.
    • 9:00 am - 11:00 pmImplicationsAll of the ideas that have been generated have implications for ILRI. This is an open page to explore what these might be and what we might do about it. There are three lines of questions with which to approach this topic; What are the implications on ILRI if we pursue some of these ideas? What are the implications on ILRI if we don’t pursue some of these ideas?
