Abstract
The future planning Working Group(organized in 1997)offered the Society that we should have an Online Symposium with the Internet. According to this offer, the WG for Online event was organized and planned how to hold it. We set up the Web pages, some of which has facilities to read, write a comment directly in the pages. We asked 3 professors as "anonymous" panelers and offered to give us a kick-off comment along with our theme "Education on Statistics". We uploaded these comments on the Web and the participants replied to the comment and made comment-trees. In August, we asked the panelers to give a related comment against comments on the Web. Finally, we concluded this event in the 13th Symposium of the Society, revealing all panelers. In the event, we succeeded in holding some kinds of discussions on the Web. There are, however, still a few problems with this approach.
