<< She says, "no I want to do it now while everyone is still right here"....you say "go ahead." As you move away from the circle and focus on an empty coffee cup under a chair you hear "oh well" and you leave the room and go for a little walk and wonder......what would have been another way to handle that? >> Don: Interesting issue. My instincts would have been to say no, that's not fair nor a part of open space. I think you were right in suggesting that she post it along with other issues. As facilitators, or better yet, people who help open the space for others, it seems to me that we are also "keepers" of the space in terms of keeping it open. If she were insistent, then I would probably inform the group that they needed to decide what format they are going to use, either OST or a traditional format. The whole issue really boils down to control. Either space is open, or it's not. This is my two cents, for what it's worth.
