Hello.. it's past morning but I need to sleep in and get needed rest. I also had attend to a couple of priority matters that came up since I last posted.
I figured out why I am not certain as to who spoke when. There was the original schedule posted on the website
http://gettingclear.co/schedule.html
Then there was an edited copy shown to me that then had to be edited again.
By the time I was to speak, that one was edited again!
There were justifiable reasons for all this. Among other things, Pete Griffiths became sick earlier in the week. Caught himself a very bad cold ( quite possibly from someone reading OT III at the event :wink2
By Wednesday evening, he was still not up to par so this required pushing his talk as part of the Thursday morning International Contingency session to a later day and time.
Other things emerged... not sure what, but the schedule had to be changed.
I know that at least 1 of 2 people who were originally scheduled to be at the event via video presentation on the International critic scene who could not attend.
Journalist, free speech advocate and critic Karin Spaink. I know didn't present. I was hoping so much to hear what she had to say. She is a heroine in my book, for standing up to Scientology and for free speech. Karin will most undoubtedly be at the next year conference, where Andreas will also be holding a celebration for
Operation Clambake Xenu.net / and it's
OCMB forum on it's 20 year anniversary

Karin was and is a key player in getting things on the internet that the cult did not want there. They sued, and sued and sued her and others back in the 1990's. She won her cases and helped in a large way to keep and allow information to remain available on the internet and more to be posted.
For information on Karin and her history as a never-in critic of Scientology:
Karin Spaink -- Xenu-Directory Page
Must read page with links to really goo and inforomative information, including the Scientology litigation kit. "Sources to defend oneself with when sued by Scientology. (Anyway, I used them, and won.)"

Now, perhaps I missed Marta Gorna, an activist in Poland, the person who I believe was not able to provide a video/skype presentation. It may be that this segment was scratched early on, because it was decided not to do a live broadcast of the event. Hopefully someone else knows more abut her or heard her at the event. I couldn't find any information.
The result was a variety of others speaking at different times on Thursday and Friday.
My next post will be about these folks.
