Hi Jeff,
I'm going meta here. Let's look at the nomination process:
https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/Nomination
It says nominations must be submitted by *January 31*. "In order for a
nomination to be valid, it must be submitted no later than January 31."
So we are preparing for the 2022 nomination process at this point.
Let's look at who can nominate:
https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/Nomination/Criteria-for-nominators
The relevant clause is here (emphasis added):
University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of
*history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion*;
university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents);
directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes
The Open Space Institute - U.S. isn't allowed to nominate exactly, it
would be it's director. OSI-US has never had a "director". That
typically is a paid position. We could probably work around that issue,
maybe, but let's say we could. What is a "Peace Research Institute"? I
can't find a definition anywhere, but there are numerous organizations
with "Peace Research Institute" in their name. Like the "Stockholm
International Peace Research Institute".
I just don't think the OSI-US can morph itself into an entity that would
qualify us as a nominator. It is likely to get our nomination
disqualified. Our best bet is to find a Professor, Professor Emeriti,
or Associate Professor in the relevant subjects.

Ok! My name is Jeff and I have two topics:
1.
Will the OSI-US consider discovering if they can be a Peace Institute
under the definition in the Nobel guidelines, in order to be eligible
and to submit a Peace Prize nomination?
2.
Will others join me to research any eligible university faculty or
faculty emeritus who might be willing to submit a Peace Prize nomination?
Warmly,
Jeff

Hello Mark!
Jeff and I connected today about this today, and we are definitely
interested in moving this forward.
I would like to pose a question - A theme:
By all means, feel free to edit the theme if you feel so moved
*
*
*How will we appropriately Honor the significance of the impact on
all beings through Harrison Owen's discovery and dissemination of
Open Space Technology?*
A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize seems to be a good start.
All 8 Billion of us are hereby invited to join us to explore
issues and opportunities relating to this important and complex
theme.
For sure, our participants will be a wildly diverse group and
potential for conflict runs with the territory, - we know that
resolving to succeed with this nomination will be a HUGE leap
towards Harrison Owen's realization of his lifelong work of
bringing all 8 Billion of us into useful conversation.
We know that this is possible because we know that it matters not
how MANY people join this gathering , , , It's WHO comes. All the
right people will Show up and be fully present.
NOW is the right time for this . . . Right HERE wherever we are .
. . and whatever happens will be the only thing that could have .
. . And we might just break the 5th principal, because, with
success comes a universal conversation which we know will never be
over. Bumblebees, Butterflies, and the law of 2 feet . . . and our
only expectation is that we'll be surprised.
Let's get to work - We've got @ 8 months to submit this nomination
PS . . . I don't have a "Plan B"

So . . . State your name - Title your topic - and add it to the
Bulletin Board . . . The marketplace is now open

How is that for a little poetry for you? It was amazing to
me that I had the lightning bolt of this idea and shared it
with you all only to Learn from Jeff Aitken, it was within
minutes of the deadline for the previous cycle. I would like
to sincerely thank everyone who replied positively. I love the
suggestion from Jeff and Romy that perhaps we could transform
ourselves into a peace institute or to rely on professors to
submit the nomination for us next year ... Of course this is
not my party and I'm not in charge. (Darn it, LOL...).
If the World Could Only See,
That Open Space Technology IS the way to BE,
Then all the World's Women and all the worlds Men,
Will Live Peacefully Together again
And be Happy all the way till THE END.
