Sounds good to me. At least that is what we've always done. Thanks Harold!

The OSLIST worldwide email list ... is a list for Open Space practitioners and friends from everywhere (really)... perhaps the most active and easiest place to connect with the living Spirit of Open Space and the OS community. [omitted administrivia links] >From the very beginning (1985), Open Space Technology has been free and freely available. But there is a cost -- that we freely share what we are learning. The mechanisms of sharing are multiple including training programs, public presentations, private emails and most especially in the online community known as the OSLIST. The substance of what we share on the OSLIST is diverse: technical "How to..." questions, philosophical meanderings, and deep feelings from the heart. And in many ways, the deep feelings are the most important. It is from those feelings that we learn who we are, what we are doing, and what the true value of this work might be. If Open Space and the OSLIST were simply a technical approach to better meetings, then we might avoid both the philosophy and the feelings. We have discovered, however, that "OS as meeting methodology" is but a tiny part of the reality.
