Just a brief fluttering in to comment on the note taking. I have been
a little concerned about the convener being the note taker. Two
examples from the WOSonOS, which is my one and only fully attended OS
event so far!
1) A convener who has written a report as preacher-like as his circle
was held, and not a single note taken of the gems I witnessed and
heard from the participants, which suggests to me he didn't/couldn't
hear them. And then the same convener from what I can see, is
continuing to air his views that OS is being prevented from being a
truly open forum by overly prescriptive facilitators - well suffice to
say try walking it before you start talking it. I do not take kindly
to hypocrites.
2) I took use of this apparently new opportunity to comment on
reports, as offered by the London event. And then had to remove my
comments, as they were potentially 'dangerous' for 'them out there' to
read. What I thought I had done was take notes, and then offered to
share them with the community. Hmmm, still working through this one in
heart and mind...
No offence meant. Just observations that tickle me, and keep me
engaged with this community!
Warm smiles

Hello dear oslist community
I think about introducing distributed not-taking for sessions so
that the responsibility of notes is in the hands of every
participant and not the participant appointed session transcriber as
is the general structured meeting practice. I long for an opening in
the passion and responsibility for the written notes as well as the
spoken word.
As I read about some participation content begin lost by
transcribers and experiencing it for my self, I think about the
documentation design style and the call by some to have scribes at
each group. Having scribes at groups makes my face expression
wrinkle a little and I think of an alternative solution based on the
responsibility and passion of every member.
What if everyone could dot down there own contributions or ask a
fellow in the discussion to dot down there contributions if that is
there need. This way the responsibility of not-taking is
distributed, and half, if not all present take notes to there
contributions.
But then we have a problem when all the different notes enter the
computers, the complexity of adding several documents as one
discussion will be like a discussion in the lists or some different
beast.
I imagen that this idea has especially had some fieald time in the
hads of multi-language gathering facilitators.
My vision is a shared and individual responsibility for session note-
taking without the use of session selected representative for the
role.
I ask about your experiences with this idea of distributed
documentation for each session and the solutions you have identified.
with love from Iceland
