Hi Lisa and the rest of the committee,
As an independant consultant, I have to say
summer is certainly best for me. Usually, it is
the period of year that is less busy and it may
very well give me a chance to travel in sunny
California. Even though it might cost more to
travel, the financial impact will be less as
chances are I won't be missing any paying contracts during that period.
So my vote goes to summer :-)
Thanks in advance to all for the organizing work!
As a member of the committee organizing the first
OSONOS in French in Val-David this fall, I know
it's a lot of work. So thank you :-))

Hi Lisa,
I am just freshly on the OSLIST myself after
years of Chris sending me interesting stuff.
Chris and I are excited to come in July and
bring our family. We will register early - as
soon as there are dates. Summer is ideal for us
- both for family and work reasons.
I am game to be part of a conversation about
family/kid flow if there are others bringing
children. I have a deep interest in living and
learning in Open Space and that very much involves our kids and family.
Looking forward to it!
Caitlin.

Thank you for surveying your local OSNicks, Michael.
When fabulous Bob Sullens asked the folks on the
OSLIST who had preferences for what dates, the
requests came in a great stream of requests on
and off-list and the pattern of those requests
was mostly for summer - with folks reporting in
from all sorts of countries - so that is what
informed our choice. A good number of people
who responded hoped that our decision would
indeed be the summer so they could bring their f
am il ie s during school vacation time.
We will of course as a world community put our
resources together as we do each year, to help
whoever has the courage and passion to ask for
support find the means from diverse sources to
join us next year. And you have been so
generous in past years, Michael, helping this
and other OS events with donations from the
proceeds coming from the World Map, as
well. Several of the Open Space Institutes have
been incredibly helpful as well and as Access
Queen, on behalf of the Askers, I thank you all.
(I have paid my renewal fee for the World Map
and I encourage any of you out there who are on
it to see if you have done so since May, which
is the renewal date, as I understand it, for
many of us. Michael, you can add Italy to the
list of countries I have used OS in - thank you!)
And everyone who is interested in coming to San
Francisco next year for the WOSonOS: Access
Queen will be joining with the creative
thoughtful work of the rest of the Host Team,
and others of you as well I am sure to share
some ideas coming months about how you all can
think of raising some of your own funds from
your various communities for your own or others'
needs about how to ask other organizations or
individuals who may have funds - about other
sources of support as well (think, my dear
fellow OSLIST folks, about additional and
diverse sources that may know of for funding and
do share that with us on the OSLIST). I know
the various Open Space Institutes are thinking,
and many of you individuals also have creative
ways each year you raise funds for yourself and
others (for example, past years have seen
OSTLIST members raise money from selling poetry,
artwork or books, or donating a percentage of
the money made from a project or two). The
registration process will also help us find out
who has needs and who has a little extra to share, and so on.
And there are more things to share besides cash:
homestays, buying a registration for two and
giving it to an Asker, buying a hotel room for
two and sharing with an Asker, ride shares,
helping people who are applying for visas,
helping support new travelers to our countries, and more.
Each year we are collectively able to help a
number of Askers get to OSonOS so I am excited
about this same great community-supportive
activity for the 2008 event. I am also glad
that the WOSonOS keeps shifting back and forth
across the world, so that people in different
parts of the world are able to come if not one
year, then perhaps the next as we support Open
Space (and each other) around the world.

PS: Michael, I remember coming to Berlin in
October 2000 (I think it was October) for the
WOSonOS that year it was a lovely time of year to visit Berlin.
