Vic Desotelle's Experience with Online Groups:

BROAD TOOLS, SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCES ONLINE
I have designed and lead many types of 'both' onsite (physical) and online (virtual) collaboration processes. I have both technical design and organizational design backgrounds. I am very familiar with numerous collaboration tools and have built a number of client sites, some wiki, some wordpress to accommodate startup business needs. Note as well that I used a mix of online and onsite solutions to help small business startups build their business plans and sort out their marketing and product developments; done when I taught at a business incubator a few years back. I have also helped a few startups who are building online tools for online collaboration including http://QiQoChat.com and http://beta.Zilino.com Being in my 50's I have accumulated many skills that come from life experiences of succeeding and failing - something that is critical for providing good faciliation.

ORGANIZATIONAL REDESIGN VIA ONLINE
A key online facilitation to mention is the "Learning Disability Canada" project I did. It was half year long project, done across all of Canada via online, all which was performed online using various information management and team interaction tools and processes. The aggregate of what I built can be seen here at this wiki project logging site: https://sites.google.com/site/ldacphoenix/

ONLINE FACILITATORS UNCONFERENCE
Another interesting project was the "online facilitators unconference' in 2013. Unconferences use many processes that bring creativity to a peek. Although the site has been taken down now, you can see it's remnants at https://web.archive.org/web/20131029055058/http://ofu2013.org/
