Dear Koos,
in the long run, thats the only authentic authority that counts: me
willing, me able and me authorizing myself. Nobody enabling me, making
me willing or authorizing me, neither God nor the president of Russia
nor my wife.
Have a great day in Utrecht, one of the hotspots for open space workers

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for an interesting line of thought. What I am thinking is that
there is also the aspect of a person standing up and speaking for a
passion that they have (be it in the form of raising a topic or just
speaking in a break out session) and in that way claiming authority. In
your essay, authority seems to always come from someone else. And of
course authority only is there when others believe it to be there. But
the initiative to bestow authority on me does not always come from
others. I can also initiate that process of authorizing myself by taking
responsibility for my passion.

What's authority got to do with Open Space ? Apparently nothing at all,
at least on the surface...
Wait. Once we peek under the surface, what do we actually find?
This completely heretical essay attempts to answer at least part of that
question.
The context is the use of Open Space in a large business enterprise,
convened with intent to explore the potential for making a very big,
very complex enterprise-wide change.
{Please note, the word "authority" might trigger feelings of:
/soul-sucking bureaucracy/, unfair and /_illegitimate leadership
hierarchy_/, and the like. Some "triggered" readers may want to opt-out
of continuing at this time...)
Authority Distribution in Open Space:

Open Space is a most interesting format for "gathering,", also known as
"meeting."
What exactly is going on in Open Space?
