Chris,
I did not certify you to award certificates such as the certificate No. 1. You will get my certification to do such things only after you transferred the 5000 Euro I decided people like you have to pay to me, please see my earlier mail in this. In case you dont oblige I uncertify you in all the roles you are impersonating: facilitator, trainer, etc. In addition I will certify you as un-confused and utterly useful. You will see where that gets you to.

I hereby award you certificate No. 1 as the first ever officially

nothing at all and no one can be guaranteed of anything regarding your
offerings in this field!

Excellent...the movement is beginning!

Chris

PS...this discussion could lead to us all becoming certifiably confused.

    I'd like to formally propose that we introduce a Certificate of
    Non-Certification which states: "This is to certify that X is not
    certified". This I believe would add enormous credibility and
    endorsement to our practice. We could even certify a group of
    certified non-certifiers to ensure the non-certification process is
    properly certified.

    I'm more than happy to be certified over this issue.

        Certification (whatever that might mean) seems to be a perennial
        topic. I suppose that is understandable, but for myself it is a
        horrible idea. My reasons are several. First of all it is too
        much work. The thought of developing the criteria, programs, and
        even worse, “protecting the brand” is totally exhausting. We’d
        have to have certifiers to certify the certifiers and so on ad
        infinitum. Second reason – Open Space seems to be taking care of
        itself. When folks come on with “A little Open Space,” “Sort of
        Open Space,” “Modified Open Space,” ... the participants
        (increasingly) understand that they aren’t getting the genuine
        article—and say so. I recall one instance where a large
        gentleman stood up in the middle of the “program” and loudly
        proclaimed, “This sure ain’t Open Space! I’m out of here.” And
        he walked. I guess you could call that “Market Certification.”
        Best of all  --- it works all by itself. One more thing not to
        do!!____
