By using the function of the PCO
OPEN FORUM, it is possible for you to send your impressions,
reflections and suggestions, which will be made visible
to the participants each day on the PCO bulletin board.
Nevertheless, this means of participation has its
limitations. On the one hand, we must remember that
the Delegates of the Conferences have received a personal
mandate of representation, which may not be renegotiated
day after day based on the public opinion of the brothers.
On the other hand, not all of the members of the Order
have the same ability to access the Internet, and
thus it is not possible to offer a true equal opportunity
in this “virtual representation” to all
our brothers. However, in reality, this injustice
created in the “diversity of technology”
fortunately has its compensation in the system of
the delegates of the Conferences. With these limitations
in mind, you can have a proper form of expression
at the PCO through this OPEN FORUM.
