************************************************************* And here is where Open Space is definitely a "each to his/her own" sort of thing. The 1 1/2 hour time slots work well for me in anything over ad day long Open Space. Since I won't do anything less than a day -- hour and on half is normative in my book. Can it be less? Of course... and when the group is small with little travel required between meeting spaces ... doubtless it will work. But optimal "cooking time" -- 1 1/2 hours.
