Harrison, OST always works. No worries there. However , we cannot guarantee what we cannot guarantee and so I am concerned that on www.openspaceworld.org a guarantee is stated. I know that any OST event that is one day or less cannot guarantee that "All of the issues that are MOST important to the participants will be raised." Many times in OST meetings, participants, particularly those who have felt disempowered, do not get their most important topics up until the morning of day 2 when for some reason they take their power and run with it. We also don't guarantee a comprehensive report, especially of a one day or shorter event. And so on.... I believe that we can make the statements of guarantee that are listed in an event of 2 or more days.
And, whenever Michael gives the go ahead to add to these read only pages that are like his "givens", I will offer my viewpoint on that site, which as you know is often an alternative. I remember in one of the first OSONOS meetings I posted the topic "Harrisy's" with a play on your name and the word heresy---doing things in a way that isn't how Harrison does it. I recall that topic to be highly playful and well attended.

So....what is the option regarding www.openspaceworld.org regarding items that there may be disagreement about in terms of what is portrayed out into the world regarding OST. Part of what might need to be sorted out are "what are the givens" regarding www.openspaceworld.org I guess you have to post your own version -- but what's not to like?? Seems to me to be a pretty cut and dried description of every Open Space I have been a part of -- If the people care, good things happen. If they don't -- won't. Or something. ho Harrison Owen 7808 River Falls Drive Potomac, MD 20854 USA phone 301-365-2093 Open Space Training www.openspaceworld.com Open Space Institute www.openspaceworld.org Personal website http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hhowen/index.htm [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected] Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
