"You invited all the organisations in your town to send representatives to your meeting to discuss the World Connectory Project (you sent over 500 emails!) and no-one turned up except you and your pet parrot. What can you do?"

Answer:

Write to your local newspaper or local radio or television station telling them what happened (and asking perhaps why even they hadn't sent a representative!). Ask for their help in finding others in the town (or wider area) who share your interest in setting up an active WWC group.

Check that your parrot is in full agreement with you on this.
