Hi Michael, I had written requesting clarification in the introduction of the "non-user's guide" to be sure that we give a clear message that there is Open Space Technology developed by Harrison Owen and then Open Space as developed by Prime Creator. You wrote back that you disagreed with the division I requested since you did not see such a division. I am sad when we do not make a distinction. I think aside from anything else that it confuses our clients and is bad for business when they get confused about what the "product" is that we offer them. My practical business sense and my desire to protect my colleagues who are venturing out, focusing their careers on Open Space Technology. I have been clear as clear on this point over time. I accept that others, yourself included, don't agree with me. So....could you now clarify for me which of these Open Space's is the one that Harrison Owen wants to have disappear???????? :) Birgitt * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
