Thanks for your question, Harrison. 
   
  That is a very interesting point indeed.
   
  The Law of two feet is one of the most marvelous "micro rules" of OST. 
Without it, people would not feel "invited" - they would probably stay in their 
groups even if they are not interested - or leave the space completely.
   
  Without the law there is no Open Space, I think.
   
  In what concerns the Principles, you probably recall that I have conducted 
some OST meetings without mentioning the principles at all, and it worked fine.
   
  So, for me the Principles are not a micro rule (essential to create OST) but 
one of the many marvelous things that happen in Open Space. They are one of the 
things that emerge from the micro-rules. A consequence of OST - not a 
foundation of OST.
   
  Would you agree with my heresy?
   
  Regards
   
  Artur
   
  PS: From your other comment I assume that you have missed the heresies in the 
list ;-)

    Artur - great to see you here! I could ask where you have been hiding, =

am afraid you might tell me. :-)


I'm curious why do you include the Law of Two Feet under the heading of
"micro-rule," but not the Four Principles?
