Galina - not only that, but one of our Millennials (a person of a
younger generation) invited for 2060!
These are invitations, not decisions. Serbia in 2014, yes.
In the past, some people have invited for several years in a row
(being at a WOSonOS themselves, or working with someone who was there
who could represent them) - until whenever it happens is the right year.
We had a very interesting and not always comfortable time thinking and
talking in the big circle at the WOSonOS where to go next year. There
were several invitations - and as you know from your own experience at
a WOSonOS - if there is one country inviting, they tell us their story
and we all celebrate. If there are two or more inviters, traditionally
we sit in the big circle and have a conversation that can shift and
move and get stuck and flow and become uncomfortable and shift again
and flow again... until something is sensed and felt, together.
It is how we have done it in the past. However it is not how we have
to do it in the future.
Our fabulous co-convenor, David O'Neill noted that this - decision,
deciding, 'vote' - does not reflect Open Space.
So how else could it be done.
I was in a delightful evening butterfly conversation with Peggy
Holman, Alan Stewart, Chuni Li, Karen Davis, Doug Germann, Jasmina
Nikolic (our host for next year), Harold Shinsato, Tricia Chirumbole,
Linda Stevenson, Gail West, and did I forget anyone?
Perhaps you dear colleagues who sat in this particular conversation
would like to share some of the places we went in the conversation
about invitation, prepared invitation, emergent invitation, what-if's
of process for invitation, support for invitation, and more - as we
experienced at the WOSonOS and then reflected upon that evening...
Traveling homeward after the WOSonOS, and looking forward to the next
regional OSonOs' and the next WOSonOS,
Lisa
