Re: [OSList] Asynchronous voting

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Thomas,

usually, the folks at the action planning part of an os event will post 
their projects at the beginning of the action planning part of the open 
space event.
They are the champions for acting on the projects that have heart and 
meaning for them.


Against that background, what is the purpose of the "voting process" 
before the action planning?


Who needs the information on "what people feel most engaged to continue 
working on"?


My experience with action planning after an os event (one week and two 
weeks later) is that the focusing on action projects appears to be more 
grounded AND that folks that were not at the os event itself appear at 
the action planning part... my assumption has been, that folks talk to 
others that did not attend the os event and sometimes "recruit" those 
that need to be part of the projects, that they champion.


At several occasions folks that had been at the os event and then also 
took part in action planning told me that the extra person they 
"recruited" for the action planning had been very skeptical about the 
ost event and had felt no need to be part of it.

Dear friends in Open Space

In one months time I will facilitate a one day OST with about 100 
participants. Probably reports will be written on flipcharts and the 
documentation will be delivered as a PDF the next day.


One week later we are going to have an online meeting to do action 
plans. We are considering having a voting process in the time between 
the two events to get information on what people feel most engaged to 
continue working on. Do you have any experiences and/or recommendations 
to share with me?

Re: [OSList] Open Source Blockchain Investment may boom 5, 400% Return On Investment

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Tony,

yes, of course, there are rules and etiquette guiding our postings on 
OSLIST.


One surefire way to harm those rules and etiquette is to set up  controls.

My understanding of our rules and etiquette is to attempt to focus on 
the unfolding of selforganisation...  as a human critter, facilitator... 
and participant on the OSLIST.


And I claim to not only assume but to know that there is no better way 
for our exchange.


Just now I am thinking of how I talk about issues and breakout session 
when opening the market place, taking one of the issues posted as an 
example:


"Ok, here is what can happen in a breakout session. One of us has posted 
the issue "money" and goes to the space chosen for that issue and 
anxiously awaits the arrival of all those that are also interested in 
his burning issue. Nobody comes. Even after 5 minutes waiting he is 
still there all by himself. He ponders on why nobody shows up, 
especially for this particularly importang issue... and is on the fringe 
of getting up and to take a nap. No, he says to himself, this is really 
an important issue. And it is the right time to have a deep exchange on it.

And apparently, I am the only person with enough competence to deal with it.
He simply starts working on it and gets done in 15 minutes, nobody 
interrupting him, writes his report and posts it."


In my experience, this does not happen very often.

Have a great day

Re: [OSList] celebrating 30 years of Working With Open Space Technology

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Birgitt,

thank you for your story.

I happied myself with the memories rising from the contacts with you in 
the past, all still very alive.


One of the stories I tell is the intervention you offered at the WOSonOS 
in Moscow when invited by  Raffi Aftendelian, the sponsor, to help in a 
wicked situation:


"Please get up, take your chair and recreate our circle."

Folks did exactly that. Stood up, grabbed their chairs and created a 
perfect circle so different from the disarrayed one.
It was the selforganized basis for a productive and actionoriented 
continuation of our gathering.


This happened in 2006.
At the end of WOSonOS 14 five women from the Ukraine invited us to the 
WOSonOS 15 in 2007 in Kyiv.


Today, probably all of us know about Kyiv and I know that new circles 
are in the making... also at the WOSonOS 28 in the Basque Country this 
September.


Greetings from Berlin
Love and Peace

Am 06.04.2022 um 00:01 schrieb Birgitt Williams via OSList:

Dear friends and colleagues,
this month I am celebrating 30 years of working with Open Space 
Technology. What a grand journey it has been, giving me a vehicle to be 
of help to leaders and  their organizations...while simultaneously 
growing me. I benefited a lot from in depth four day trainings in OST 
with Harrison, attending, co-sponsoring seven training sessions in 
Canada. I continue to facilitate in the ways that we were originally 
taught, with adjustments made to adapt OST for the online environment. I 
refuse to facilitate an OST less than four hours, with sessions never 
less than one hour.


My two favorite experiences of being a participant in OST meetings: the 
first OSONOS in a hotel near Dulles airport in which just over 30 of us 
gathered to explore our learning with OST and the excitement of 
participating in what was then pioneering work with organizations. The 
second of my favorite experiences was the Expanding Our Now event in 
Oregon in the mid 90's sponsored and facilitated by Harrison Owen and 
Anne Stadler. Five full days within an OST container, exploring and 
accomplishing ways to expand our now. Again, about thirty of us came 
together, from a number of countries, with profound experiences within 
which each of us experienced personal transformation and the expansion 
of ourselves, and the expansion of our NOW. We who gathered understood 
that the bigger our NOW, the better we facilitated. The power of a 
multi-day OST is not often the current offer...however, it is powerful 
beyond what can be imagined.


In those early days, I experimented with how short an OST meeting could 
be while still retaining what I believed was valuable about OST. Four 
hours was the shortest I would go...and in those days I did so as a 
means for following up from a multi-day OST for the purpose of moving 
topics forward that had been prioritized from the multi-day OST. At the 
time, I believed a short (ie 4 hour) OST was valuable only after a 
multi-day OST in the organization. I believe that OST was initially 
devised for multi-day meetings.


I also experimented with frequent OST meetings in the same organization 
ie: monthly. The story goes that the first two monthly OST meetings were 
loved by our staff and Board as the newly preferred way to have  our 
monthly meetings. At the third meeting, I sat and said to those gathered 
(about eighty people) that they need what to do so please post their 
topics. Everyone stayed seated until someone said "we know what to do, 
however, there is something important in this opening that you do that 
helps us to determine what we want to post and to get on with it. We 
need you to do the opening. It is not sufficient to tell us that we know 
what to do." And so I learned that the opening, even with a well 
seasoned group, gave benefit from the ritual and was to be included. At 
the fourth monthly meeting, as I entered the room, a staff member stood 
up and said "we don't want to do these kinds of meetings anymore. We 
come up with all sorts of ideas for going forward but after the fact, we 
find out what the barriers are to taking action and it is very 
disheartening to us". We sat together and talked this over. Two gifts 
emerged from this. The first was the concept of the 'givens', providing 
the shape of the OST meeting (defining the playground to which people 
were invited) by clarifying beforehand any non-negotiable barriers. Once 
we worked out the givens together, we successfully had years of OST 
meetings. The second gift was the emergence of another meeting method 
Whole Person Process Facilitation (WPPF), designed to be used in between 
the OST meetings to examine what had come out of the OST meeting and 
what would move forward into action..and how. By alternating OST and 
WPPF for our monthly meetings, more actionable items moved forward than 
would have moved forward with OST alone. And the participants, with the 
addition of the givens, and the bi-monthly OST/WPPF meetings were

[OSList] Fwd: Inquiry with HSD Institute

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Glenn,

further below is the respons I got from Royce Holladay of Human Systems 
Dynamics Institute that published "The Practice of Peace".


Yes, it is presently not available at amazon.

However, I bought a bunch and had my publisher in Berlin put it into his 
online shop, see here

https://www.westkreuz-verlag.de/de/the-practice-of-peace


In case you go to the shop you will see a short text in English under 
the heading "Produktbeschreibung"I will paste it here:


"Basic to the Practice of Peace is the understanding that the organism 
is its own best healer, and the power behind that healing is 
self-organization. Organism in this context means all living creatures 
and entities: You and me, all of us, families, neighborhoods, cities, 
companies and countries.


The Practice of Peace involves initiating, sustaining, and in some cases 
re-starting, that fundamental engine of our existence, 
self-organization. The heart of the Practice then is to consciously 
apply the power of self-organization. Practically, this means doing a 
very simple thing: Open space wherever, however, and as often as you 
can. Using Open Space Technology is a good place to start.


Every moment of the day provides an opportunity to create the conditions 
for Peace. To see these more clearly and to use these opportunities 
takes some insight and preparation and basic approaches and an 
understanding that this practice is a lifelong journey. This book has 
all this to offer including a detailed introduction to basic skills for 
Peacekeepers such as “Never work harder than you have to”, “Don’t fix it 
if it ain’t broke” and, the most important “Never delude yourself into 
thinking you are in control”. In addition exciting and delicious 
examples from everyday life illustrate the Practice of Peace."


I dont know who wrote this... me, I dont remember.

Further down you see the response from Royce Holladay...

Love and Peace

Re: [OSList] A reminder - The Practice of Peace - an important book - avilable as download

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Glenn,

I looked for the book at the publishers website,
 > https://www.hsdinstitute.org/resources.html

at the Browse Category "See, understand, influence" and the 
undercategory "books".

It seems that HSD does not have this book in their website.
I sent them a note asking whether they still have copies and also an 
eBook version.


Shortly after a bunch of us published Harrisons first edition all around 
the world I published a German version, also available as an ebook.


You can have a look here for the book version

https://www.westkreuz-verlag.de/de/Raum-fuer-den-Frieden


and here for the ebook version

https://www.westkreuz-verlag.de/de/Raum-fuer-den-Frieden-E-Book


This could be of use to you if you are into German or might inspire you 
to learn German.


It is not a very costly step to have the English version also as an 
ebook. Lets see what the folks from HSD have to say to my qustions.


"The Practice of Peace" (in German: "Space for Peace"), written two 
decades ago is a grand read right now...

[OSList] Peoples Rising

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear colleagues,

the sponsors hoped that 20 000 would come, so typical for sponsors, ten 
times of the expected did gather, 200 000, so typical of passionate and 
dedicated participants... some say it were many more.
Many small groups from neighborhoods all over Berlin selforganized, many 
families came in bunches... and there was not one prefab slogan, 
everything was hand made, improvised, colorful, impressive. Flags were 
carried from Ukraine, Estonia, Germany, Europe and walked in mixed 
groups that assembled on the spot.
This happened in Berlin yesterday and I will remember that I was part of 
it, pretty moved.
This huge open space did not only demand peace and pilloried the tryants 
in Moscow  but there were concrete projects that would mean big cuts for 
those wanting them: Not only stopping North Stream 2 but also the active 
North Stream 1 (gas pipeline from Russia to Germany)...

Hope you get a chance to see some pictures of this event...
Parallel to the event the German Parliament gathered... on a Sunday, 
that was a first in its history... just a stonethrow away from the 
demonstration.
The major daily paper in Berlin commented: This kind of uprising not 
only in Berlin but all over Germany, Europe and the world will be an 
essential driver to end the "war"...


Greetings from Berlin
mmp

PS: As before, I urge you to read "Practice of Peace" by Harrison Owen, 
and get a handle on what it takes to be a peacemaker...

Re: [OSList] Response from Harrison Owen

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Elwin,

"whenever it starts is the right time" popped up in my mind reading your 
grand story.
The "party" could also be observed at the gathering of Rabbis, Immams 
and some Christians in Sevilla.
And it raised its head also in Rome where Israelis and Palestinians 
gathered on "neutral" ground thinking about a time when peace had broken 
out...
it always appeared at every os event I was part of. But it was hard to 
imagine that it also would in impossible, highly conflicting situations.


Just had another look at "The Practice of Peace"... a good read in the 
face of an unfolding war just around the corner from Berlin.


Love and peace to all of us here and in Charkiw, Lwiw, Kiew...

Shortly after the close of the Bosnian War, I facilitated an Open Space

Assembled were "leaders" of the three warring factions, Croates,

At the close the participants held a totally self-organized party,

[This is from Harrison Owen because he is having trouble posting and 
asked me to send this on his behalf. - Harold]


Michael Panwitz's response was superb and brought back many memories. 
Michael and I teamed to produce some open space for 250 Rabbis and Imams 
-- as he said. But they weren't just "any" Imams and Rabbis. They were 
the lead guys in such places as Jerusalem, Paris, New York, Istanbul -- 
and all around the world. How we got into all this, I truly don't know, 
but there it was in Barcelona, Spain. The theme: "Peace."   Talk about 
Conflict and High Dama.


The sponsors had decided that since the attendees were a rather formal 
sort, we should not jump right into Open Space, but rather ease in. So 
the meeting began with the usual dais, speakers, and everybody sitting 
rows. Personally, I can't stand meetings like that, so I did not attend, 
but somewhere around noon, I was walking through the massive atrium of 
the hotel  when I heard the conference organizer (the guy who does all 
the work) yelling "Harrison, Harrison..". He caught up to me,  and asked 
-- "How quickly can you do Open Space? It is Chaos in there (the main 
auditorium)." "The Imam from Paris is standing on the dais screaming at 
the Chief Rabbi from Jerusalem..."


I replied -- that depended totally on the hotel staff and how quickly 
they could make a circle out of rows of chairs. To give them plenty of 
time, I suggested a three hour lunch break. That might sound extreme, 
but not unheard of in Barcelona and other parts of the world. It would 
also provide a good cooling off period.


At 3:00 pm the 250 Rabbis and Imams walked into a transformed 
environment -- one big circle. There was a quiet buzz,  radically 
different from the cacophony of the morning. What a difference a circle 
can make. I stood at the edge to welcome the people and said simply that 
we are here to find our way in peace. Then walking slowly around the 
circle I invited each person to notice all the others, locating those 
they knew, would like to know -- and all the strangers. When I reached 
the point of my beginning I stopped to enjoy the silence which was deep 
and pregnant. You could hear a pin drop.


You know what happened next. I moved to the center of the circle to 
quickly explain about posting issues, The Five Principles, One Law, 
Bumble Bees and Butterflies  --  with a final admonition to */Be 
prepared to be surprised... /* And then an invitation to any one who 
cared to post their issue. Total silence.


One by one, and soon small groups... participants moved to the center to 
take a piece of paper and write their issue. I stood quietly, and as 
each person became ready I gave them the microphone along with the 
suggestion that they keep their remarks as brief as possible. But 
clearly the group had different ideas -- and they made the space 
their own. Each announcement became a 5-10 minute "sermonet" offered 
with feeling but real respect. For more than two hours we proceeded in 
that fashion and the group as a whole listened to every word. Perhaps 
some people left, but I didn't notice. But what I did notice was that I 
was personally exhausted. It is amazing what happens when you are in the 
vortex of all that swirling energy even if you are apparently doing 
nothing. I just had to go. When I had the opportunity, I handed the 
microphone to Michael, said thank you, and walked out.


I had no question that everything would work out perfectly. And as 
Michael has described, the people quickly  came to a conclusion and 
adjourned

I loved what you wrote and tried to post my feelings on OSLIST -- but 
somehow it all hit "tilt." So if you like what I wrote and can post it 
-- that would be great. ho

Michael Panwitz's response was superb and brought back many memories. 
Michael and I teamed to produce some open space for 250 Rabbis and Imams 
-- as he said. But they weren't just "any" Imams and Rabbis. They were 
the lead guys in such places as Jerusalem, Paris, New York, Istanbul -- 
and all around the world. How we got into all this, I truly don't know, 
but there it was in Barcelona, Spain. The theme: "Peace."   Talk about 
Conflict and High Dama.


The sponsors had decided that since the attendees were a rather formal 
sort, we should not jump right into Open Space, but rather ease in. So 
the meeting began with the usual dais, speakers, and everybody sitting 
rows. Personally, I can't stand meetings like that, so I did not attend, 
but somewhere around noon, I was walking through the massive atrium of 
the hotel  when I heard the conference organizer (the guy who does all 
the work) yelling "Harrison, Harrison..". He caught up to me,  and asked 
-- "How quickly can you do Open Space? It is Chaos in there (the main 
auditorium)." "The Imam from Paris is standing on the dais screaming at 
the Chief Rabbi from Jerusalem..."


I replied -- that depended totally on the hotel staff and how quickly 
they could make a circle out of rows of chairs. To give them plenty of 
time, I suggested a three hour lunch break. That might sound extreme, 
but not unheard of in Barcelona and other parts of the world. It would 
also provide a good cooling off period.


At 3:00 pm the 250 Rabbis and Imams walked into a transformed 
environment -- one big circle. There was a quiet buzz,  radically 
different from the cacophony of the morning. What a difference a circle 
can make. I stood at the edge to welcome the people and said simply that 
we are here to find our way in peace. Then walking slowly around the 
circle I invited each person to notice all the others, locating those 
they knew, would like to know -- and all the strangers. When I reached 
the point of my beginning I stopped to enjoy the silence which was deep 
and pregnant. You could hear a pin drop.


You know what happened next. I moved to the center of the circle to 
quickly explain about posting issues, The Five Principles, One Law, 
Bumble Bees and Butterflies  --  with a final admonition to */Be 
prepared to be surprised... /* And then an invitation to any one who 
cared to post their issue. Total silence.


One by one, and soon small groups... participants moved to the center to 
take a piece of paper and write their issue. I stood quietly, and as 
each person became ready I gave them the microphone along with the 
suggestion that they keep their remarks as brief as possible. But 
clearly the group had different ideas -- and they made the space 
their own. Each announcement became a 5-10 minute "sermonet" offered 
with feeling but real respect. For more than two hours we proceeded in 
that fashion and the group as a whole listened to every word. Perhaps 
some people left, but I didn't notice. But what I did notice was that I 
was personally exhausted. It is amazing what happens when you are in the 
vortex of all that swirling energy even if you are apparently doing 
nothing. I just had to go. When I had the opportunity, I handed the 
microphone to Michael, said thank you, and walked out.


I had no question that everything would work out perfectly. And as 
Michael has described, the people quickly  came to a conclusion and 
adjourned for the evening. The next morning we met briefly in the 
circle, but since all the issues were posted there was really nothing to 
do but -- Go to work. Which we did. The issue groups met in the huge 
atrium of the hotel. Everyone contributed to the common buzz in the 
multiple languages of the participants. Great intensity, but also quiet 
respect. It seemed like the most natural thing in the world.


On this first night of the invasion of Ukraine, the peace, respect and 
passion of Barcelona might seem a distant dream. But it is also a 
hopeful one. It can happen again. However, we have a lot of space to

Re: [OSList] Space invaders and using your two feet

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Bhavesh,

The Law of Two Feet (this is, of course, no Law but tongue of cheeck 
speak of the Man with the Hat) has not felt to me as a reminder to be 
responsible for where I want to be.
In my intro to the process I say in the role of facilitator: "And here", 
pointing to the large poster on the wall of the space or on a large 
pinboard on the edge of the outer circle or floating above the crowd of 
2108 supported by large balloons, have a look here

https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/165-jetzt-meine-leidenschaft-meine-verantwortung-ueber-die-tagung-hinaus-now-my-passion-my-responsibility-beyond-the-conference


"is the Law of Two Feet which has to be utterly adhered to as it is a LAW:
I honor a group with my absence if I neither learn nor contribute 
something. If I am learning something I stay, if I am contributindg 
something I also stay.
But if neither, then I'll do the group and especially myself the favor 
of taking my feet... ", and here I imitate the Man by looking at my feet 
for 3 seconds lift them and run a short distance in front of the 
assembled crowd... continuing:"... and move to a space which is more 
productive for me... or to take a nap." (At this point folks usually 
laugh out loud, incited by my awkward running style)


Now all this has nothing to do with taking responsibility for where I 
want to be. I am focusing on this because I as facilitator am not in any 
way responsible for what anyone does, under the assumption that everyone 
is naturally "responsible"... and I adress it in the systemic context we 
are in when in an os event, and that it is selforganisation all the time.


Regarding space invaders -  which I rarely have encountered probably 
because I am such an awsome event myself, especially when totally 
present and at the same time invisible - I do intervene.


My first intervention is to do nothing and wait (at this point I 
understand why I am being paid for this job). If the crowd is kind of 
struck and silent, also waiting, I still wait. Usually, this 
intervention does get addressed by a participant, which causes another 
participant to react... and results in a short exchange in which usually 
someone then gets the space invader to see that the group does not oust him.


If no participant intervenes and I have counted to 10, I ask: "Who else 
feels like Charlie?" This always works, one or several other 
participants will say something. The main advantage of participants 
participating in this is that the space invader immidiately sees that 
he/she is still part of the group, not an outsider.


Another observation I have made is that some space invasions are 
aggressive while others are certainly productive but not executed 
completely.


At one event, one participant got up to introduce his issue (others had 
posted issues before him) and said: "I have the most important 5 issues 
that need to be worked on!" and deposited his 5 issue sheets in the center.
Here I intervened right away and reminded him that the issues have to be 
announced and posted on the Bulletin Board and that he shoulc say his 
name. Somewhat nervous he picke up his 5 issues, spoke to them and then 
posted them on the Bulletin Board.
Later in the day he approached me and said: "Michael, nobody signed in 
for my issues! This was an important lesson for me."


So, its not about what is allowed or not. Its about how space and time 
for selforganisation are expanded right then and here. Thats what I 
recommend facilitators to focus on.


The utmost the facilitator can do in case stuff gets out of control and 
nothing works is to leave the space.

I have experienced this twice in os events.
First event was the gathering of 300 Imams and Rabbis in Sevilla where 
HO facilitated and I was his assistant. The participants kept posting 
isssues without end and even after allocating 15 minutes more they kept 
going. When the time was over, HO turned to me and spoke into the 
mikrophone "Michael, please take over!" and left the room. It took only 
minutes that the participants stopped posting issues and moved into the 
phase to walk up to the Bulletin Board to sign up for issues they wanted 
to work on.


The second example was an os with facilitators from different approaches 
in which I was participant.
In the closing circle of the first day, one participant insisted on a 
discussion of a particularly critical aspect. He ignored the 
facilitators suggestion to post his issue for a session after dinner or 
the next day. No, he wanted to continue. The facilitator pointed to the 
schedule and the amount of time left. At the end of the agreed upon time 
he stood up and left the room.

Two minutes later, the entire group left, too.

What about other stories on The Law and Space Invadors?

Right now I am returning to the breakfast table where we are talking 
about the urgent recommendation of the German Government to all German 
citizens presently in the Ukraine to leave the Ukraine and return home

Re: [OSList] Who is BS-ing Whom?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear folks,

this thread surfaces more and more stuff for me.

Today it was memories from an evening spirit session  to meet our 
ancestors together with the other 50 or so participants of an OT event 
(run in the classic 3-day OST format) in Highlands, North Carolina... at 
the end of the last millenium.


We gathered in a large, carpeted room, all squatting on the floor... a 
medicine man who came down from the mountains sitting in the centre.
As I recall he simply waited until everyone had passed the smudging 
ritual and settled down and then said:


"I love you all but I dont care for you".

This impressed me massively. As everyone around me stretched out on the 
floor, sleeping on their journey meeting ancestors ... I was keenly awake.


Everytime after this experience I had this mantra show up when I got 
tuned into my ost facilitation mode of being fully present, invisible 
and unattached... it also is neat for joining the circle of our 
ListServe... and helps me in realizing that everyting is open space and 
selforganisation and be prepared to be surprised by - for instance, 
space invasions...


Greetings from Berlin

there's nothing wrong with bringing what you suspect might be an 
opposing viewpoint.  in 25 years on this list, we've had plenty of 
disagreements, but i don't recall anyone calling folks haters, as you 
have here.  when you set disagree=hate, that closes the space.  nobody 
can disagree or they are horrible, hating people.  that turns an 
opposing viewpoint into an oppressing viewpoint.  if the challenging 
view was about open space, maybe we'd have to go there.  or maybe not 
even then.


can you bring this conversation back around to open space?  that is, 
after all, why we're here.  we have a purpose.  that's what makes this 
space and every open space gathering work.  or maybe we just let it go 
for now?


when anything goes, on a listserv, everyone goes.  let's not go there!  
we have something to take care of here.


thanks to all who've weighed in on this thread.  i've learned that from 
now on, i should get all my jabs in brighton.

  To answer your question, can I commit to no name calling?  You
accused me of: derogatory name calling.   I guess it depends on what
the definition of derogatory is. Right? I ask you, If something is
TRUE is it derogatory? I simply made a post - super respectfully -
sharing an opposing viewpoint from someone else and ended up being
hated on, (using the term of modern slang...
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hater
 ) and was
told to hush up and get lost, called a bully, called a lot of
names... like now, being called derogatory, by you Lucas.  So if
someone is hating on me - for sharing a thought, from others - (on
this list - that is what? the most open forum in the world?) and I
call them a hater, who is being derogatory, me or them? So to answer
your question in this context: Hell NO!

Lucas, are you the Leader of this list? Now that I said no what are
you going to do, kick me out of the club? This is why I said
honestly I will think twice about posting opposing views here again,
to keep haters (like you) off my back.

Re: [OSList] Who is BS-ing Whom?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Mark, John and all you other Peacemakers out there,

when Harrison took the manuscript of "The Practice of Peace" to his 
publisher Berrett-Koehler at the beginning of the present millenium they 
felt it didn't fit into their program...


He and everybody else were surprised about being surprised that this was 
not the end of the book.

What happened?

Not only believing but knowing what the force of selforganisation is 
capable of doing when finding enough space to unfold, Harrison signaled 
to all of us that the book can be printed and distributed without any 
strings attached.

Or in othe words, expanded the space.
What happened?

In no time flat the book was printed and distributed and later also 
translated by folks in 8 countries around the globe in North America, 
Europe, near and far Asia (from the European point of view), Australia, 
the Caribic ... (see "A NOTE ON THIS PUBLICATION" on the second page of 
The Practice of Peace as published two years later by the Human Systems 
Dynamics Institute).


Harrison called this phenomenon the "Global Chaordic
Publication".

It is the string "Who is BS-ing Whom?" that instantly fired up my 
synapses which resurfaced this phehomenon... and my thoughts later on.


Mulling over the current pandemic lets me wonder what incited the worst 
pandemics on the globe.
Not surprising myself in any serious fashion I felt it is us ouselves... 
like the creature in Pogo looking in a mirror seeing his enemy, see here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_have_met_the_enemy


And what is it, at the core, that causes this disaster? Which virus is 
that? What is the name of the disease this virus creates?

How about "control", the only real enemy of "selforganisation".
And who is best at controlling.
Yep, us.

What was the impedement to publishing "The Practice of Peace"? What 
hindered an established, mainstream and well known publisher to turn 
down a book from an author that had a vision?


If we start controlling OSLIST it will lose its meaning.

This does not mean that illegal content can be shown on OSLISt.
In Germany, for instance, and other countries in which German is the 
main language and a dozen other countries it is illegal and punishable 
to deny the holocaust. It is a crime to spread such "opinions" punished 
in Germany by 3 months up to 5 years imprisonment.


It seems to me that I would feel much better if our exchange is as broad 
as possible... it would expand the space for the most powerful and 
sustained force we know of.


Greetings from Berlin where neighbors and friends and family come by on 
this sunny winterday with a bit of snow ... curious to see what I look 
like at the end of my 82nd year.

rubella, chickenpox, hepatitis, meningitis and tuberculosis), I
want to also add flu and pneumonia. I have never seen a vaccine
that forced me to wear a mask and maintain my social distance,

that spreads the virus even after vaccination. I had never heard
of rewards, discounts, incentives to get vaccinated. I never saw
discrimination for those who didn't. If you haven't been
vaccinated no one has tried to make you feel like a bad person. I
have never seen a vaccine that threatens the relationship between
family, colleagues and friends. I have never seen a vaccine used
to threaten livelihoods, work or school. I have never seen a
vaccine that would allow a 12-year-old to override parental
consent. After all the vaccines I listed above, I have never seen
a vaccine like this one, which discriminates, divides and judges
society as it is. And as the social fabric tightens… It's a
powerful vaccine! She does all these things except IMMUNIZATION.
If we still need a booster dose after we are fully vaccinated, and
we still need to get a negative test after we are fully

Dear friend, how are you?

I'm writing you asking for some feedback on the idea of inviting Wosonos

at last to do so. I hope my English is good enough to have well 
understood Jo 's last message on 23-11-2021 to the Oslist.


As I wrote to the oslist, I've been last days checking around and

  * there's a venue in Bilbao that we would like most and tomorrow we'll
been having news about the availability
  * Myself I'm very motivated with this long "dream" and if we go ahead,

I'm writing to you because I know we have some time shared some flesh 
and bone time (I've attended Wosonos 10-Berlin; NYC High Performance and

Re: [OSList] Beware of Bad Bosses... Take it From the Dilbert Cartoon

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Jeff,

all the best to you in 2022 and Merry Xmas.

I wonder in which way the assumption
"OST and other participatory methods are intended to remedy ..."
is congruent with the assumption that OST is not intending to remedy any 
particular situation.


As ost facilitator my assumption is that OST is an effective approach to 
expand time and space for the unfolding of selforganisation and that 
control accomplishes the opposite... and that it is utterly impossible 
to know what the forces of selforganisation will bring about.


Isn't that what makes the OST approach unique?

Greetings from Berlin

So yes, my question wasn't fully formed until now:

I am fascinated that folks who are passionate about Open Space can be in 
differing "poles" of the "polarity" in the USA, and also be able to show 
how OS is a kind of guide to understanding their own view.


Which leads me to wonder if good old OS can help unlock insights into 
the situation in a fruitful way.


Being USA centric in an international list has its issues, but any 
insight from outside the USA is welcome and important, including a 
request to keep it among us folk.


We may not want to "go there" here, and that would be fine, but i would 
feel remiss not to mention it, as 2022 draws near. It will be a big year 
in these parts.

Yes, it seems that the paradigm of authoritarian leadership is
exactly what OST and other participatory methods are intended to

The postwar work in social systems by folks like Kurt Levin and
others were a response to the tragic origins of the second world
war, along with the outdated mechanistic notions of human
organization. OD work and later OT work like Open Space have this in
their genealogy.

I'm so curious how we may have differing perspectives on where such
authoritarian impulses are present now, and what to do about them.

Not to "go there" right here and now, but to invite an inquiry into
the resources of this legacy of theory and practice as a guide for
muddling into the near future.

Maybe skilled hosting would be called for in such a case. (Not
volunteering, as I am surely holding one of the "poles".)

Space Technology must understand times have changed. In the
US, we now live in Retaliation Nation. Don't believe it, just
look at any and all the news. One smear campaign after
another. Yet, the great USA is the most open and envied
society on earth, right? Before leading your Open Spacers into
the Tiger's Den, prior to the invitation stage and setting up
the theme, i suggest you first vet the true intent of the
bosses.  Look at their past behavior and figure out whether
they are open or if they repeat past behavior to pounce on
open and honest people they consider Snitches.  If a boss is
dishonest and fake, do not consider honoring them with the
miracle of OST.  They don't deserve trust and will crush

I saw this analogy and it made so much sense, so I’m sharing it with you 

A bottle of water at Costco is $0.25.

The same bottle in the supermarket is worth about $0.50.

The same bottle in a bar costs $2.

In a good restaurant or hotel it can be worth up to $3.

At an airport or on the plane, you may be charged $5.

The bottle and the brand is the same, the only thing that changes is the 
place. Each place gives a different value to the same product.


When you feel like you are worth nothing and everyone around you 
belittles you, change places, do not stay there.


Have the courage to change places and go to a place where you are given 
the value you deserve. Surround yourself with people who really 
appreciate your worth.

Re: [OSList] The Law of Two Feet put another way, by a bottle of water..

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Mark,

one liter of first class drinking water, better than any bottled water 
anywhere, costs 0,5 cents.

No bottles, no transport, best quality, fresh every day.
Forget Costco, supermarket, bars (gads, who drinks water in bars)... and 
planes (who still travels with planes?)...


And the place, our house, with gangs of neighbors, kids, parties... also 
best place on earth.


And in our house there is enough space to enjoy the Law of two Feet so 
we have a lot of movement including the garden, the street for games... 
simply come by when in Berlin.
Fresh water free but also coffee, tea, fresh juices, organic milk, 
spirits of all kinds... and always something to eat.

Hello lovely space openers.

I wanted to share something. Firstly it’s about a job advert but
also about how stuff we do at Improbable has been changed by the
practice of invitation.

First off I’m sure my wife Matilda won’t mind me sharing this
story. She formed and co-runs an organisation called “Mothers who
make” it’s an online and offline support group that grew out of
one of our own open space events. It supports the idea that we
need to open more space into our work and life spaces so that the
the roles of both mother and maker are not separate or
marginalised by the other.
Check it out you might want to take part. You can join from
anywhere in the world.

https://www.improbable.co.uk/job-vacancies


Anyway a few years back Matilda put out a job advert for a
Producer role at MWM in a traditional way. Job specs, salary,
responsibility etc.. she got at most a handful of replies. So she
decided to create an informal advert. An invitation. She spoke
from her heart and from her passion and vulnerability with real
honesty about what the job would be and what it would involve.
Raw. She got 100 applicants. A real indication that it’s not just
the sessions called but the original invite that need passion and
responsibility to give it grip.

https://www.improbable.co.uk/ 

So Improbable (link above) is a company that makes shows and opens
space wherever we can are currently looking for a new executive
director. We put out the formal job advert a few weeks ago and
shortly afterwards we put out our informal invite which is  below..

Please spread the word and notice that we are hoping to ensure no
one should exclude themselves from the possibility of
interviewing, especially if you don’t work in theatre.

Yes this might be you.

Here is the Invitation:

you may have read that we’re looking for a place to belong and to

talking to people, in our quest for a home for the company. We
have also just put out a call for a very particular, key
collaborator - last week, we announced that Improbable is looking
for a new Executive Director.

Our Executive Director will, of course, be helping to take care of
Improbable - what it is, what it does, what its unfolding vision
is, and what it may be. However, one vital focus of this person's
role will be helping to make The Gathering, our home for
Improbable and our practice, happen.

posted at that moment in time. This dynamic is altered when relying on 
anyone to pre-post topics, or to set meta-topics, catering to limitation

had some memories come up.

In at least three of the ost events I was involved in it turned out that 
the sponsors prepared a set of "issuse" they felt should be part of the 
event before the event... in case nobody would post them.
To the surprises of the sponsors all their issues were posted by the 
participants.
In addition, they themselves experienced that other issues entered their 
mind during the process that they then posted.
In many other ost events sponors were very surprised about the broad 
passion, interest, creativity, etc. and most of all selforganisation 
that manifested...


For what actually happens when ost is part of the everyday life of an 
organisation over a number of years with a special focus on the vast 
system of that enterprise have a look here

Re: [OSList] Test...

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Jeff,

of course.

First, let me point out, that this os event was not "one of your 
neighborhood os". I was hired as the facilitator and had no stakes in 
this particular neighborhood.


The title for the event was
"Projektschmiede für den Helmholtzplatz" which translates roughly into
"Forging Projekts for the Helmholtzplatz"
an inner city neighborhood of about 18 000 with the Helmholtz square in 
the center of it.

Here is the link to the City of Berlin website that gives more detail.

https://www.stadtentwicklung.berlin.de/wohnen/quartiersmanagement/de/helmholtz/index.shtml


One aspect of the text there translates into

"Through various forms of citizen participation such as open space, 
future workshops and thematic working groups, communication could be 
established, networks strengthened, and the main areas of action for 
district development jointly developed."


And here is some detail to the event itself listed in a data base of 
about 800 ost events

https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/95-projektschmieden-fuer-das-gebiet-helmholtzplatz


Ok, here is the memory of that event of 20 years ago that immediately 
came to my mind when I read your email:


After the sponsor had opened the os event and I had introduced into the 
process, folks rushed to the center to jot down their issues and 
projects in planning.

One participant announced his project with:

"I want all the money that has been assigned to the projects for my 
project because it is the most important project for our neighborhood" 
and continued to outline what he had in mind.
I have forgotten what it was all about. (The city wanted to fund 
projects that a jury of citizens would select).


In the course of the day I saw him and a bunch of folks working on their 
plans for this project, similarly to the other groups.


In the evening news of the first day the convener of this very important 
project stood up and said, as I remember it:


"I came here with the most important project for our neighborhood. Our 
group worked out a wonderful plan. And I now know that we dont need any 
of the promised money. And I know now and am very happy to tell you that 
I found something much more important than money. I found a bunch of 
dedicated folks that will get this project running. What a gift."


So, this is what can happen and has in all os events I had the privilege 
to facilitate.
All OST events that have the prerequisites for the unfolding of 
selforganisation in place will make stuff appear that nobody would have 
believed when entering the room.


...

Regarding the fictional relative asking "for a real story to inspire 
them", I would tell this relative that I do have awesome stories but a 
few questions for him before the story part.


And that would, I have experienced, be the more exciting part of our 
conversation.


Greetings from Berlin where we will have our traditional open space 
Stammtisch tomorrow evening (Monday, November 1 beginning at 7pm) that 
has been convening for more than a decade here

Dear Tonnie,

having firefighters in an open space event spreads like wildfire... 
similar to os events in schools (of course, with parents and 
neighborhood), or in church parishes where you have folks from all walks 
of life, or, of course, in neighborhoods. Its those events that create 
strong ripples across all subsystems... and kept me busy.


Greetings from Berlin where I see complicated excursions with hundreds 
of people over weeks to get a new government... it would surprise me, if 
any of them ever were in an os event. One classical os event, meaning 
the whole enchilada, would get them done in 10 percent of the time... 
now they are planning to get done by Xmas, hmmm!

Re: [OSList] Evolve conference Oct 20-22 enhancing the knowledge of the field of collaborative change

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Birgit, Peggy and all,

it would not surprise me to see future evolve events (and other such 
conferences) entirely run in OST format... similarly to what happened to 
the OT gatherings way back when the guy with the hat experimented with 
OST (he did not have that name for it at that time) and everyone found 
that it would replace the old format with all the heavy work for the 
organisation group...


Greetings from Berlin where I look forward to having WOSonOS in 2022... 
fossile free, of course...


In anxiously anticipating the results of elections in Germany, the 
fourth largest economy in the world and the 6th largest polluter of the 
planet... and so far without a plan to meet the worldwide agreed upon 
climate goals...


cheers

Dear Eleder,

to your PS: I checked

https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/osonos/


and see that WOSonOS 2019 (the 27th of its kind) is listed there but 
there is no link to the Book of Proceedings... Barry Owen and the Open 
Spacce Institute US sponsored the event near Washington DC.

I guess Barry would have a hint on where to find it.
Barry is on this list.
Hi, Barry!

If I remember right, the Berliners still want to have the 2020 event 
which could not take place because of Covid in Berlin in 2022.


I will cc the 2020 Team.

Re: [OSList] wosonos?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Michael H.,

here is a link to the WOSonOS 2020 that did not take place

https://wosonos2020.berlin/


Under the section "News - Coronavirus Update" on the homepage the 4th 
paragraph beginning with "Next steps" goes like this


"We are currently checking the option to postpone the WOSonOS to 2021. 
Therefore it would be helpful to know whether a designated team for 2021 
already exists? If so, please contact us and we will figure out where 
the next WOSonOS will take place. Our preparations are on a hold – and 
whenever the time is right we (and the venue manager) are ready to 
invite you to Berlin. It is still a wonderful place to get in touch in 
Open Space on Open Space and we appreciate the opportunity to host it 
whenever it starts."


To me it appears that the Berlin Team was checking the postponement to 
2021. Since that appears to be out of sight I assume that it might be 
postponed to 2022.


I am sending ccs to the Team Members.

Cheers

Re: [OSList] Ynt: September 22, 2021 event: Businesses as social learning organizations

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Funda,

in my world all questions are meaningful.

Tony asks:
"How do we promote listening and learning within and beyond organizations?"

Thats a meaningful question.

I responded with:
"I wonder why "we" want to promote "listening and learning" and who 
might the "we" be."


I still wonder who the "we" is?

Tonys question seems to be based on the assumption that "we" are all of 
us. That is in my view all of us as facilitators of ost gatherings.


You say, space has a lot do with listening and learning.
Thats something that you and probably also others looking at an ost 
gathering (I assume here that this is what you mean with space) can observe.
It is something that I have also observed in many situations and 
designs. Its not specific for an ost gathering.


Is "listening and learning" not only one of dozens of other things we 
observe in an ost-gathering?
Is "listening and learning" simply only one of many other side-effects 
or by-product of a setting that unfolds by expanding time and space for 
selforganisation manifesting?


Do we promote any of those many side-effects or by-products that we 
observe in ost-gatherings?


Back to the "we" in the meaning of us as facilitators of ost gatherings.
I wonder what it is that I or we "promote" as facilitators of ost 
gatherings.
How does promoting something jives with "total presence and absolute 
invisibility"?


Why is it so liberating and enjoyable and fun NOT to promote anything in 
my role as facilitator and observe how everything needed happens 
especially well when I stay out of the way?


Greetings from Berlin where I hope we will have the WOSonOS that was 
originally planned here for 2020 in 2022... and to see you again!

Re: [OSList] Ynt: September 22, 2021 event: Businesses as social learning organizations

Dear Tony and Funda,

I wonder why "we" want to promote "listening and learning" and who might 
the "we" be.

Re: [OSList] doubt about how to begin OS

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Arantxa,

yes, of course, I know him and I think every os person on this planet 
does, too.

With him on your side, it will be a cinch!

Last time I met Eleder was in Krakow at the WOSonOS 2015... best memory 
is his great smile and laughter, second best is the can of basque beans 
he brought as a gift... and we still have a deal for a grand basque 
dinner if I ever make it to his home!


He included himself in the worldmap, see here
> https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/eleder-aurtenetxe-pildain

You are invited to join him on the map, just go here
> https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/inclusion

and include your picture so I can look at you when writing an email.

Let the os world know how your first os was for you... that is one of 
the best venues for learning...


cheers

Re: [OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 121, Issue 3

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Gijs,

in my active os facilitation days (until 2012) I published detailed cost 
estimates. Looking at this one (in German)

http://www.meine-openspace-praxis.de/Dateien/18-Kosten-3Tage-130TN.pdf


travelling costs did not show up. That had to do with the nature of the 
event. It took place in Berlin, so no travel costs for me. Most 
participants lived and worked in Berlin. Those from outside had their 
travel expenses paid by their organisations or they paid for them 
personally.


Looking at the sheet, I do see a number of items that were universal:

- The omnipresent buffet (Pausenloses Pausenbüffet) and the rent for the 
space (Raummiete) made up about one third of the cost

- The costs for the facilitation team, about one third of total cost
-The remaining third went for management of the event, Material, 
Planning Session, Next Meeting, advertising and miscellanious items


Looking at all of this it seems that real life os might cost more than 
virtual.


After 2012 until today, I was frequently contacted for collegiate advice 
or counselling (no wonder because the 2385 facilitators that took part 
in os-trainings I was involved in had "lifelong free consulting"). So, I 
was honored to be in touch with the trade.
One of the feedbacks I got is that an online version of a Planning 
Sessions for an os event is acceptable. Participants of those online 
Planning Sessions gave similar feedbacks that we regularly received 
after real life Planning Sessions, such as "never experienced a meeting 
as this one with such concrete outcomes in such a short time... and it 
was fun...". Of course, Planning Sessions in itself are not os-events... 
they do however produce only stuff that the participants themselves 
craft and cast into action.


Has anyone had the chance to get feedback from participants that 
experienced both real life and digital os events? Especially the 
experience of a full fledged 3-day event real life versus online?


Greetings from Berlin
mmp

Future Search
Since 1991 more than 5,000 people, working in every sector around the 
world, have attended the face-to-face workshop known as “Managing A 
Future Search”. Participants have gone on to stimulate positive social, 
technological and economic cooperation around the globe. The workshop 
goal has always been to provide participants the tools, insights and 
support to manage successful Future Searches. Now we bring you the 
additional tools and techniques to allow you to run a Future Search in

transformative. There is so much brokenness in the world today. We are 
energized about our readiness to respond, enabling people to cross 

Re: [OSList] Fwd: Richard Rohr Meditation: On the Edge of the Inside

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Marc,

got me thinking, thanks.

It reminds me of how I always felt about the force of selforganisation 
needing more space to do its stuff... and that space is always open but 
dwarfed by what is expressed in part of the text to "On the edge of the 
inside":


 “Because the totalism [that is, the system] wants
to silence, banish, or eliminate every such unwelcome [prophetic] 
intrusion..."


For many years people working and living in a church context (protestant 
in my experience) found ways to gather in spite of the totalism also 
deeply entrenched in church structures. On the edge they organised many 
OST events and were exhilarated by what took place in such a setting.


And as a witness of such events I was more than exhilarated, feeling 
liberated.


As selforganiation is presently unfolding not only in church systems 
(for instance in the catholic church in Germany in the context of sexual 
abuse in the chuch) but also at many places all over I see gorgeous 
opportunities for our work with OST.


But, careful, we need to be totally present and ad the same time 
invisible and await the opening of opportunities that will reach us 
without us doing nothing but the extremely hard work of being totally 
present and at the same time invisible.


Have a great week, here we have sunny transition from winter to 
spring... balsm for my old hear...


cheers
mmp

Re: [OSList] help with the formatting of the OSLIST when it arrives in my Mach Mail programme

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Doug,

just received my Economic Impact Payment of 600$ signed by the former 
President of the USA.


Well, your email came just in time to send a 100$ donation to the Open 
Space Institute-USA that they can use as they wish and I would love to 
see it go into a retirement fund of our overworked colleague in Montana.

Here is the PayPal transfer note

"Hallo Michael M Pannwitz!
PayPal
Sie haben eine Zahlung über $100,00 USD an Open Space Institute (US) 
(i...@osius.org) gesendet"


For those of you who forgot their highschool German:

"Hello Michael M Pannwitz!
PayPal
You donated $ 100.00 USD to the Open Space Institute (US) 
(i...@osius.org) "


Sending donations to OSI USA is easy, go here

https://osius.org/content/about


scroll down a  bit and look right.

If 100 of us that received an Economic Impact Payment divert 100 bucks 
to OSI USA the retirement fund for Harold could snap up to 10.100,00 
(tenthousandonehundred) in a jiffy... or for whatever the wise elders at 
OSI USA want to use it.


Greetings from Berlin where I am pondering what to do with the other 500.
Yes, I can add some to the "Revolving Credit Fund" of the Open Space 
World Map.
In case anyone of you is not a member of the WorldMap, join (by the way, 
contributing financially to the Map is not a prerequisite for being 
listed in the Map)

Just go here

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/inclusion


Now, having blown the horn for the glorious OSI USA and the very fine 
World Map I expect responses galore. Now.

Re: [OSList] Confused American

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Patricia,

everything is open space, even democratic systems and institution but 
also a mafia organisation or autocratic systems.
The forces of selforganisation do their thing everywhere, completely 
independent of the various criteria we have for classifying whats good, 
bad or indifferent.
And Open Space Technology, the process we work with, is an approach that 
expands time and space for the force of selforganisation to unfold. Its 
the only group/organisation/system approach that has that as its core 
activity.
But dont worry, even without OST, selforganisation thrives... sometimes 
hardly noticeable. And if you find an organsation/system with not signs 
of selforganisation you can be sure its dead for all practical purposes.


Now, as an UScitizen looking at whats happening in the USA from my 
distant viewpoint in Berlin, I see that the forces of selforganisation 
are alive and kicking back home.


Cheers and stay healthy

In which way was ost online "effective" or "differently effective" from

Re: [OSList] We now have one world government ladies and gentleman

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

... just reminded myself that I have been out of practice for a while: 
all the places I used the word "law" should be corrected, it should say 
"principle". There are 4 or 5 "principles" and maybe a 6th is in the 
making. And the Law refers to the Law of Two Feet.


To label what I perceive as "facts of life"   "principles" is the 
tongue-in-cheek I love in Harrisons writing (Wikipedia has the meaning 
"The idiom tongue-in-cheek refers to a humorous or sarcastic statement 
expressed in a mock serious manner.") and talking. Same applies to the 
usage of "Law" in this context.


Discovering the ease of being (Leichtigkeit des Seins) woven into the 
ost process and playing on it brought the breakthrough in my approach to 
ost... dancing with the force of selforganisation.


Cheers from Berlin

Re: [OSList] We now have one world government ladies and gentleman

Dear Mark,

wish you and everyone else reading this, all the best for the remaining 
347 days in this year.


Appears that no force in the world will quelch you, right? Coming up 
with a new Law, how bold and audacious!


As far as the so-called Laws in os (which in my world of Laws actually 
are statements as to what I call "The Facts of Life") are concerned I 
keep being reminded of "Whatever happens is the only thing that could have".


When I started working with ost back in 1996 in Berlin, folks used to 
get very upset about this "Law" and felt it to be completely 
un-political. One of the interjections was "If Hitler had been killed at 
the time when he was not in power yet (there was one attempt that almost 
succeeded) what a wonderful world we would have now".


For some reason after a while this kind of reaction disappeared. I think 
it had to do with my new explanation of the Law by citing a saying that 
everyone in the German realm grew up with

"Wenn das Wörtchen "wenn" nicht wär, wär mein Vater Millionär".

Maybe there is someone out there that has an english equivalent, if so, 
speak up.


As far as the rest is concerned I am looking forward to get a shot in 
the arm soon... us 80+ belong to the second group to get the vaccine.


And, would it not be wonderful if the postponed Berlin WOSonOS will 
actually take place in Berlin later this year...


Love and Peace

Re: [OSList] Coming soon... Happy Birthday Harrison!

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Suzanne, Michael, Barry and Lucas,

one of the many items that come to mind when HO passes through my 
thoughts is "Never work harder than you have to!", sometimes also taking 
the form of a question "Why do you work so hard?".


Imagine him still applying this to himself.

How does that impact his rhythm now.

It would not surprise me to hear that the naps expand and the spaces 
between them shrink.


We might be lucky to see him appear for a rich 23 minutes on his 
birthday... which might feel like zillions of years.


Thinking of this I will definitely also send him a really oldfashioned 
handcrafted birthday card with impressive stamps and handwritten cheers. 
Transported by the German Post Office and the grand old United States 
Postal Services founded some 250 years ago.


All the best for the Global Cocktail Party!

A good opportunity for testing the effects of 2 Martini Cocktails... 
loads of Gin and only a whim of extra dry Vermouth. Can get revolutionary.


Greetings from Berlin

Re: [OSList] Seminar from Sandra Janoff, January 2021

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Actully, after having created a mind map around what the members of the 
Planning Group collectively expect on the "Day after the Event" and have 
agreed on the overall Theme of the event and had a break the next 
question is more precisely:
"Looking at the mind map we created and the theme we arrived at: Who 
needs to be part of the event so that our aspirations and ideas can be 
realized, be acted on by us?"


This phase in the Planning Session is a bit of a reality check, 
sometimes resulting in reframing the overall Theme.
Since many "actors" identified that need to be present also leads to a 
discussion on the process of invitation. Often, it is clear that 
different invitational interventions are needed. For some a written 
invitation is perfect, others need to be talked to personally, etc.


Especially in schools that often asked me for helping them with an os 
event, a spectrum of "needed" folks starts emerging that no single 
participant in the Planning Meeting had in mind and would then include 
several, many or all or even more of the ones I mention here:


Parents; Students; Teachers; Principal; School Secretary; Speakers of 
groups provided for by the School Laws (parents, teachers conference, 
student body representation); Janitor(s); Volunteers working in the Cafe 
or Cafeteria or other functions; Caterer; Maintenance Workers; former 
Students and Parents and Teachers and Principals; Teachers from schools 
that sent students to the school (in a Highschool that would include the 
primary school the kids came from); Business People that offer students 
Practica in their businesses; members of the local school 
administration; Journalists (local paper); Scientists from the 
University or Teachers Colleges (where teachers get furthering 
training); Neighbors (especially when schools with their outdoor 
actvities constantly have contact with the neighborhood).


Have a great day

Re: [OSList] Seminar from Sandra Janoff, January 2021

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Thanks Peggy and best wishes from Berlin,

yes, getting the whole system in the room has been a mantra in my os 
work. Its included in the design for the Planning Meeting with the 
question to the sponsoring group "Who needs to be at the gathering in 
the light of our title for the event and what we expect to be different 
the day after the event".


And hi to you Chris, I took the liberty to update your profile in the 
world map with your new mobile phone... here is what your stuff looks

Re: [OSList] OST to produce/revise a report

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Nathan,

if I understand you right, the second part of an OST is the same thing 
that is called Action Planning.


In your case, however, the goal seems to be to get some improved 
recommendations.


Now, recommendations are not actions.

If you like actions rather than recommendations, simply invite those 
that the recommendations are directed to and have them be part of the 
OST. Under that condition the results are not recommendations but 
actions that the participants present take responsibilities for and act on.


Some time after the Action Planning, perhaps 4 weeks or 8 weeks, you 
would have what is called a "Next Step gathering" in which all those 
involved in the action are invited (sometimes they bring more people 
with them that originally were not at the OST). They then would 
exchanged among each other what has been achieved up to this point and 
then plan the next step... and so forth. Have as many Next Step meetings 
as the participants want.


Back to the Action Planning: After you are through with the first part 
and people had a chance to read the Book of Proceedings (these might 
also be the reports from the break out sessions posted on pinboards or 
other devices) they would return to the circle and, similar to the 
original round of issues, would write down, read to the group and post 
"actions". Folks would then gather at the "actions" that they want to 
participate in and discuss it for a few minutes and think of what be the 
very first step they agree on to take. At this time it is a good idea to 
have your diaries with you so that folks could note the date, the time 
of day and the place where the group for a particular action would gather.


Organizing an ost with a divergent group, including all folks that are 
part of the issue, invariably leads to action and to a load of unleashed 
self organisation.
Gathereing recommendations and perhaps even prioritizing them before you 
pass them on I would only recommend if the folks wanting the 
recommendations were to pay every participant a decent fee for their 
work. That would be a test to see what recommendations are worth to them.


Have a great day and stay healthy
greetings from Berlin

Am 26.10.2020 um 08:29 schrieb Nathan Nettleton via OSList:

Dear OST friends,

I’m seeking your advice and suggestions on suitable processes for the 
second part of an OST event. Let me explain the background.


My church denominational authorities have produced a 3 page report on a 
proposed strategy for denominational interventions in congregations that 
are perceived to be in terminal decline. The report was produced with 
minimal consultation and although not a disaster, seems to many to have 
some significant shortcomings. Therefore, a group of us are considering 
organising an OST event to bring together a wider representative group 
to explore the issues and produce a revised or alternative report.


I am the mooted facilitator for this event, but I am not hugely 
experienced. I have facilitated eight previous OST events, ranging in 
size from 10 to 75 people, including one online using the Qiqo platform.


The first half of the event is clear enough: gathering circle, create 
the agenda, conversations happen and produce their notes.


But there are numerous ways of doing the second half, depending on the 
objectives of the event.


So I’m seeking your advice, especially if you have had experience of 
using OST with the aim of first exploring the issues, but then 
distilling those findings down into a two or three page list of 
recommendations (either as a revision of an existing report or as a 
replacement for it). What might be the most appropriate approach for 
enabling the gathered group to turn the fruits of their earlier 
conversation into such a set of recommendations on the day?


I’d welcome your stories, ideas and suggestions.

Peace and hope,

Nathan

Re: [OSList] How many countries are in the world map

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Thomas,

you can always see the current number of countries where ost has been 
used by looking at the signature I use for emails:


"See the Open Space World Map with 507 Open Space Workers living in 77 
countries and active in 142 countries worldwide: www.openspaceworldmap.org"


(Die deutsche Signatur ist etwas anders, siehe hier: "In der Open Space 
World Map tummeln sich 160 Menschen, die in Deutschland, Österreich und 
der Schweiz mit dem open space Verfahren arbeiten.

Weltweit sind es 507 aus 77 Ländern, die in 142 Ländern os verbreiten.")

This note differentiates between countries for which entries are listed 
for folks actually living and working in that country and countries 
(including the 77) in which ost workers have also been active. Not long 
ago, one country dropped out when the resident colleague deleted his entry.


If you click on a specific person, lets say the fellow that always wears 
a hat except in the picture he chose for the world map

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/harrison-owen


you will see that he lives and works in the USA, giving his mailing 
address (two in fact, one for Summer and one for the rest of the year) 
etc. and scrolling all the way down you see at the very end all the 
countries that he has worked in with ost, in this case 26, not a world 
record but pretty worldwide.


Astounding is that even though we are 800 plus in OSLIST, only 507 have 
included themselves in the map (many being seen in the map are not on 
OSLIST... which also has to do with the observation that our list is not 
multilingual and yes, there are many out there that are not familiar 
enough with English to particiate, some occasionally use their mother 
tongue but with minimal response... )


Greetings from a pleasant early fall day in Berlin where I am gathering 
the last raspberries in our garden and checking the apples every other day


cheers

Re: [OSList] To the admin please

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Anthi,

here is the link to the Open Space World Map that I look after

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/


There is also a way to include the Map into your website without leaving 
your site. But dont ask me how.


A couple of remarks;

--- as far as I know there is no "official" website re open space stuff 
since there is no "official" person or system or organisation that is in 
any way "official"... whoever steps up following his or her 
passion/responsibility is an "official"...


--- the Open Space World Map does not show "THE OST practitioners", it 
shows profiles of folks that I call "open space workers" and presently 
there are 505 of those in the Map... as I see it this is only a fraction 
of perhaps xyz numbers of os workers in the world, selfselected, 
selfcertified, selfauthorized and I am sure happy and alive...in the 
existence and the history of the Map, see more details here

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/about-the-world-map


there have been a total of 1181 folks that populated the Map over the 
last 19 years



--- the idea of the Map was and is to show that OST is in use in  every 
continent and looking at the 142 countries also in all cultures, 
political systems, etc., it is simply one of the elements that seems to 
appear everywhere and has to do with selforganisation as a basic 
phenomenon of us and our groups, organisations and systems and, even 
more important, as a phenomenon of everything, starting with the Big 
Bang and presently showing itself in myriads of facets including corona, 
climate change, war, cooperation, and what have you.


You are invited to include yourself in the World Map so that I can look 
at your picture while writing to you. Presently, none of the os workers 
in Greece are included in the Map... but one can see the 12 folks from 
all over who have worked in your country as open space workers.


Greetings from Berlin

Good morning,

I am creating a new page of Resources in my website and I am interested

Re: [OSList] wikipedia on OS... ack!

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Michael,

at least it is marked as "advertisement".
Isn't it known that you cant "advertise" or even "sell" open space.
But dont worry the German version beats the  English version... garbage 
is cozy compared with the word I would use in German for the German 
version. Its the kind of word my very young grandson would respond to me 
with a stern look and the demand to go wash my mouth.
Them are tough times. Best we can do, I suspect, is to live and work in 
the simple world of open space knowing it will always work.


Lets honor what somebody in our crowd said: Never work harder than you 
have to.


Greetings from Berlin

happen?  i see chris corrigan's fingerprints on the page, quite a while

Re: [OSList] Documents that explain OST beautifully?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

I forgot that there is also a button "Libratry" at

https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/hho/


And, for the German language folks, very detailed stuff here

http://www.meine-openspace-praxis.de/index.html


Many samples (invitation to a planning meeting, invitation to an event, 
invitation to a Next Meeting, lengths of os events, cost for an event, 
and various templates)


In Germany there is no need for a Library since there is a gorgeous book 
on OST. It contains everything. And if you are looking for something you 
need and you dont find it in that book you definitely will not need it.


Of course, there is new stuff since corona regarding the technology of 
online events and on that there appears to be a plethora of stuff...



Cheers

Re: [OSList] Warm Data Labs - Nora Bateson

To write "open space" in lower case is my trademark, so please, respect it

greetings from Berlin where I enjoy the last spring days and the open 
beer garden in my neighborhood... its not the same thing as a couple of

Re: [OSList] Warm Data Labs - Nora Bateson

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Robyn and Jeff and Bhav and you others,

when topics are chosen by the facilitator there are no issues from the 
participants. Without issues, no need to meet.
As os facilitator I am deeply attached to doing nothing so that I can be 
fully present and at the same time invisable.


I enjoy myself with these kinds of exchanges on various approaches and 
the meaning and weight of "words"... and have no experience with Warm 
Data Lab...


Have a great day wherever you are
Greetings from Berlin

Certainly the Law is being used.

The Principles that help us with detachment may not need to be raised, 
because there are no topic convenors to get attached to their topics and 
who comes to them. All the topics (contexts) are chosen by the 
facilitator in advance.

  * /Each table has a “context” on it that will be the frame through
which the “complex issue” is discussed at that table. (at least
6 contexts)/
  * /Participants (as individuals) discuss at the tables as long as
they wish before changing tables. They move when they want to

  * /There are no time limits, or set instructions. Participants
join and leave conversations as they wish./
  * /The process usually takes at least an hour, and can be continued./

Dear OS Community worldwide!

/Whatever happens is the only thing that could have… /We hereby inform 
you – with regret, let’s say it ones before we look forward – that we 
decided to stop the preparation of the WOSonOS2020 planned to be held 
October 29 through 31, 2020.


After a careful review of the current circumstances and the possible 
developments of the COVID-19 pandemia we came to the conclusion that we 
can not held the event as planned. At the moment it would be unrealistic 
to conduct the event in a face-to-face format in fall 2020 here in 
Berlin. We as the sponsor and all those who want to participate and 
would have to book their trip in advance would be left with the 
cancellation costs.


The alternative option to hold the WOSonOS as an online event instead is 
clearly not our choice. For us this would be a different meeting than 
the one we are entrusted with, and we have no passion to do it online.


The ones who already registered, 43 participants from Iceland, France, 
Canada, Netherlands, UK, Belgium, Sweden, US, Italy, Spain, Malaysia, 
Switzerland and Germany, are already informed personally and their 
participation fees will be fully refunded.


*Next steps:*We are currently checking the option to postpone the 
WOSonOS to 2021. Therefore it would be helpful to know whether a 
designated team for 2021 already exists? If so, please contact us and we 
will figure out where the next WOSonOS will take place. Our preparations 
are on a hold – and /*whenever the time is right*/we (and the venue 
manager) are ready to invite you to Berlin. It is still a wonderful 
place to get in touch in Open Space on Open Space and we appreciate the 
opportunity to host it whenever it starts.


Take good care and stay well,

Re: [OSList] The New Space Race?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Jake,

after folks have gathered in the closing circle and announcements have 
ceased and things have quieted down completely I:


--- take about three minutes to go back to the beginning of the 
gathering pointing to the phases of the event in the last 3 days


--- show the talking stick (something I found outside earlier in the 
day, such as a branch with leaves or flowers on it and if it is a 
situation in which a mike is used that might be the talking stick) and 
speak, sitting in the circle, about 2 minutes on this final process 
(that it will be passed from one to another in a clockwise direction, 
that one should not think about what to say while it is on the way, once 
you receive it, hold it for a while, dont pass it on right away, and if 
something occurs to you right then let everyone else know if you like, 
say it and others listen, if you hold it and you dont say or do anything 
we listen into the silence, and if you say something from the heart we 
listen with our hearts).


Since there is a closing time to the gathering, everyone knows how much 
time is available for the closing circle, and usually it will  take 
place in the time still available.


By this time the talking stick has returned to me and I say something 
like "Thank you for the privilege to facilitate this event" and then 
turn to the sponsor that is sitting next to me and ask him to close the 
event and send us on our ways.


The sponsor closes the event.

Sometimes there also seems to be the need to have a ritual for the group 
as a whole to celebrate the end of this process... there is a very short 
intervention I learned from HO:
After the closing circle and the short speech of the sponsor I rise and 
ask everyone else to get up and form a very close standing circle, wait 
a moment and invite to have a last look at everyone, after a while I ask 
everyone to turn outward, still noticing the circle "behind" me and then 
leave the circle in all directions... usually this is the time when 
people move around, hug, say goodbye, etc.


Of course, there are different situations that call for other closings, 
such as a gathering of more than 300 (up to 300 it works the way I 
described), lets say 2000, then you need several mikes that are taken by 
os-team members to those that signal that they want to say something... 
not everybody gets to speak.


This last phase is, except for the introduction to the process in the 
beginning, the only time I am visible and speak to the whole group... 
and I do not say anything more than what I mentioned. During the usually 
25 to 35 minutes in which participants listen and talk I say nothing and 
do nothing.


Greetings from Berlin where doing nothing is the expected mode in the 
corona lockdown, a tough exercise for many...


cheers

Hi Michael,

Thanks for opening this conversation. I’ve been thinking about
something similar, with a slightly different emphasis. I’ve been
struck by how frequently I’m hearing “we’re all in this together”.
So I’ve been thinking about how it is a time of both personal
responsibility AND a sense of the greater good that has never
existed in my lifetime. (We’re about the same age.) Even talk of
sacrifice. Something I recall my parents talking about from their
youth in World War 2.

Something that has intersected this mulling has been watching the
amazing amount of constructive journalism happening right now.
Practical, responsive, listening to the questions from the public.
And, of course, the generosity of people self-organizing to help others.

One last element in my thinking about this: "tend and befriend"
rather than "fight or flight.” In brief, in 2000, a woman
psychologist looked at the research that led to coining the phrase
fight or flight to characterize human response to threat or stress.
Turns out, like much of that early social science research, it was
done primarily with men. The psychologist, Shelley Taylor, working
with a team of women, found women tended to respond differently.
They took care of the vulnerable and worked together.

With nowhere to run, I see much of the response to Coronavirus
following the pattern of tend and befriend. It’s a trend I’d sure
like to see made conscious and furthered. I wrote a 2-minute piece
about it:

https://medium.com/@PeggyHolman/journalism-that-tends-and-befriends-in-the-time-of-coronavirus-1ec800ccf9ad.

I think fighting and fleeing less and tending and befriending more
encompasses both personal responsibility and the common good.

Be well and stay sane,
Peggy

Re: [OSList] Law of Mobility, reimiagined

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Gerardo,

thanks for your way of introducting the Law.

Would love to read more variations on this!

Here is how I used to do it:

"Then there is a law, also called the law of mobility or the law of two 
feet: "I honor a group with my absence when I neither learn nor 
contribute anything."
If I learn something, I stay; if I contribute something, too. But if 
neither is the case then I do the group and especially myself a favor by 
taking my two feet and moving somewhere else where it is more productive 
- or take a nap.
You know this from people who are in groups: you sit together and then 
you notice that someone shuts his eyes a bit. And it becomes clear that 
this person is no longer quite present. And it would be a good idea for 
this person to go away anyway. As soon as the person starts snoring, you 
know he has missed the opportunity to leave.
Ok, make sure that when you neither learn nor contribute something: look 
for another place.
This law of two feet has several tempting advantages: One is that I am 
always somewhere where it is productive and interesting. The other: It 
is a wonderful medicine for know-it-alls, all-rounders, long-term 
speakers ... when one after another disappears and he sits there alone.
And then there are two appearances, created by this law: bumblebees and 
butterflies "


Since 2012 I have not introduced ost at a gathering. Probably I would 
shorten it, leave something unsaid. What I would certainly still do, is 
to walk the circle and look into everyones face... I am pretty sure, 
that what I do aside from speaking is essential to introducing...


Take care and come to Berlin in October for the WOSonOS and a walk 
around the Kreuzberg...


ciao

Am 06.04.2020 um 18:20 schrieb gerardo de luzenberger via OSList:

That's how I introduce the law of two feet:

It's a natural law. It's something that happens all the time. It's not a 
rule you have to follow, it just happens.
All the time we find ourselves in a situation in which our body is in 
one place, our head in another.
When this happens to you in an open space you have two feet and you are 
invited, as far as possible, to use them to reconnect your body with 
your mind.
You can join another group, you can stay at the coffee break and keep 
drinking and eating, you can even go home or back to the office if 
that's there your head is.

If you neither learn nor contribute (2 things), look for a more

place
might be on a dancefloor, in the swimming pool, gardening all by

Re: [OSList] Meeting of the tribes: Our gifts for crisis and change

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Harrison,

yes, "whole system in the room" differs from "all who care".

In FutureSearch a great deal of effort is undertaken to identify parts 
of the system... in a community/neighborhood this may add up to 100 or 
more "parts". Once all have been named they are grouped under 8 
headings. For instance, a day care would be grouped with related parts 
and move into the group "Children". For each of these 8 groups 8 people 
are searched for that are willing, able and influential. They gather for 
3 days and wind up with actions... It might take up to 6 months and more 
of planning with many meetings to get this "system".


My motivation for mentioning the planning for an ost-event with the 5 or 
so prerequisites in mind and
picking diversity as one of the prerequisite roots in the question of 
Rolf Schneidereit on "exchange between tribes like...".


I wonder if the "exchange between tribes like..." might be achieved 
sustainably as a part of ongoing practice if every exchange that any 
"tribe" is engaged in anyhow and anyway (as our WOSonOSes and other 
exchanges) simply takes a closer look at "diversity" and then invites 
those of other tribes that they feel increases "diversity" for their 
exchange.


This would intensify the exchange in a simple and ongoing way without 
arranging an additional exchange between the "tribes". It would also 
give space for discussing such things as "liberation, participation, 
collective intelligence, deep dialogue" and other grand things 
participants care for.


I have and still do encourage the conveners of OST exchanges of all 
kinds to increase the diversity including the invitation to folks from 
"other tribes"... completely independent of any "crisis" but keeping in 
mind that I love "crisis" because it is one of the prerequisites for the 
Force of Selforganisation to really get steamed up.


Usually, our exchanges are focused on our craft but there are many more 
things that happen in exchanges such as in a WOSonOS. And it would not 
surprise me if any of the "tribes" that Rolf has in mind (Peggy could 
add 150 more, all gathered in her marvellous Book on that topic) 
experience similar things aside from the focus on the craft.


Thus, as a participant in the WOSonOS this October in Berlin I hope that 
those of you reading this from other "tribes" join in. Here is the link

https://wosonos2020.berlin/


Reading the first line of the invitation:
"WOSonOS is the annual worldwide meeting of Open Space practitioners..."
simply imagine that "practitioners" can be expanded to "all who care"...

Exchange... yes. And on that note I might suggest that "getting the

to the idea of diversity -- but not quite the same thing a my meaning 
when I described "diversity" as one of the critical five preconditions 
for self organization. My understanding of diversity may be achieved 
when "all who care" are there (for the OS). "Caring" is the operative 
word. Putting it simply: "If you care, you got to be there." "Those who 
care might include: The whole system, less than the whole system, or 
more. I've had the experience (as I am sure you have as well, Michael) 
when total onlookers, just casual observers, suddenly discover that they 
have an interest, some input -- and actually care. Sometimes they just 
stand in the doorways, but on occasion they just moved right in and took 
over -- to the benefit of everybody. Why or how -- who knows??? But they 
cared! I've seen this happen often enough that I added another little 
reminder to myself and whomsoever..."Honor the Stranger." They always 
show up and their gifts can be extravagant. Strangers in out midst is by 
no means a bad thing.

Re: [OSList] Meeting of the tribes: Our gifts for crisis and change

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Rolf,

exchange is what OSLIST thrives on.

For me, it is (was) THE  worldwide place for reflecting and learning and 
unfolding about my working and living as an os facilitator... in 
addition to my regular interaction in local, regional and worldwide 
OSonOS, including the Stammtische in Berlin (inactive for the duration 
of physical contact restrictions with the hope that the WOSonOS in 
Berlin in October of this year will be possible and, of course, 
Stammtische again...).


Looking at the 5 or so prerequisites for the unfolding of 
selforganisation (the center of my craft), I have always looked 
specifically at "diversity" (or as some say "getting the whole system in 
the room") and advocated that our os-exchanges would profit from high 
diversity as far as participants are concerned. I always felt that 
"diversity" was one of the prerequisites that we have some influence in. 
For instance, who all we would invite to our events (including OSLIST).


Looking at that aspect, diversity can be expanded in the same way as we 
suggest to our clients. Usually, we ask some simple questions in the 
planning stage of an event, such as "who all needs to be at the event to 
increase the chance for fullfilling both our aspirations we have around 
the "burning business issue" and the chance for action on the stuff that 
we feel needs to be taken?".


Often, I have found that in answering this question some pretty relevant 
groups were not in focus, such as "the customer" which, in a school 
setting, might be the students, in a parish the folks that attend the 
worships, in a company that specialises on "customer tailored 
nutritional products" the consumers of those products... or, in an os 
for the future of an NGO the folks that provide the finances or the 
government agencies that are needed for cooperation or the competitors 
in the same or related fields.


Now, my and the efforts of others to increase "diversity" in "our" 
events have been only partially successful. Asking ourselves the 
"diversity" question certainly surface those that should be invited. For 
an Open Space Learning Exchange or other events we invite to for 
reflection and learning  etc. that might be:


--- our clients
--- children
--- scholars, scientists, researchers
--- facilitators of all kinds
--- caterers
--- facility managers
--- event managers in hotels etc. where os events take place
--- journalists (newspapers, scientific journals, radio, TV, internet...)
--- non-facilitators that are curious
--- former participants of os events
--- writers that have produced works around ost
---
---

If we had a planning meeting, this list would certainly be expanded.

In this spirit, we would help expand time and space for 
selforganisation... any time, corona, war, hurricanes, climate change, 
you name it... even in peace and other happy times.


Apart from expanding on this I presently am participating in efforts in 
my immediate familiy, our neighborhood, in Berlin and so on, to slow 
down the spread of Corona to find ways to live with it.


Personally, I am enjoying some of the side effects of the presently 
challenging situation: practically no contrails over Berlin with clear 
skies and many more stars than usual, the reduction of noise (hardly any 
cars), the enormous unfolding of actions in civil society... in the face 
of closed schools, limiting contact restrictions, a dearth of protective 
masks, shortage of toilet paper... what have you.


Greetings from Berlin and looking forward to analog hugs maybe 
definitely at the WOSonOS this fall

Dear Mates,

would like to get your feedback. I'm wondering: is now the time to intensify 
the exchange between tribes like Art of Hosting, Open Space, Liberating 
Structures, World Café; Theory U and many others?

With all individual differences - we share extraordinary times. We're facing an 
urgent crisis which will cost many lives, we're shure to expect the next 
economical crisis and we're amid the fast expanding crisis of the ecosystem and 
the climate.

Could it be helpful in this situation if the different streams for liberation, 
participation, collective intelligence, deep dialogue and so on comes together 
to share their insights, their initiatives, their gifts? How can we support 
each other to support the common good and the necessary transition?

What do you think and sense? I'm going to sent this question to the AoH- and 
the OS-List. If this call resonates with you feel free to sent it to other 
communities you belong to.

And how?
The idea appears after a virtual Open Space. One insight: We can do a really 
large gathering online. After that I've offered Lucas Cioffi from Qiqochat a 
sponsorship for an online event with up to 300 participants but he declined: He 
will offer the use of Qiqochat for such an event for free! What we can do there 
(for example):
- Check-in (perhaps as Impromptu Networking)

Re: [OSList] A VIRTUAL OPEN SPACE EXPERIMENT

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Juan Luis,

thanks for the invitation to your place near the sea.

Yes, "life is occuring us" and, life is open space.
In the face of what is occuring right now I find guidance in "Dont Just 
Do Something, Stand There!".
Presently I overwhelm myself with the bustling and hustling to somehow 
create a parallel world which will carry us over to the time afte the 
Corona Time.
I am confident and also ready to be surprised to find the Time after 
Corona to be quite different from the time before Corona. This entices 
me to halt and not to act now but be in a more "Stand There" mode. Being 
in the comfortable situation of not having to earn my living at age 80 
in a fairly social system, I might be privileged to afford just standing 
there. Still, it is an option.


By the way, you can relax about the "quarantine being renewed 
indefinitely". All these interventions have to be limited and when they 
are extended again limited. This is part of the European variety of 
Democracy and probably in all regular Democracies, since it infringes on 
one of the basic rights and them cant be infringed on without a limit.

HI EVERYONE

Thank you Michael for sharing my new coordinates, where the next first of April 
I’ll be accomplishing my first year of living here.

And it would be wonderful to receive in this place, when the crisis get over, 
the visit of my friends of Europe or whatever other part of the world at this 
little location of Valencia, near to the sea, called El Saler.

As I told you Michael in my personal email sent to you the other day (Have you 
received it my friend?), Coronavirus is remembering us with big force that we 
must be prepared to be surprised !!!

In some way as always life is occurring us in a big Open Space.

And that's why definitively also I have come from Chile to Valencia, in the 
most profound I'm carrying forward the adventure of taking a look if it is 
possible to stay in Europe, using for these my Italian passport that could help 
in my citizen integration.

And just two days before my debut in these lands with the facilitation of Open 
Space, a state of alarm is declared throughout the Spanish territory, forcing 
all its citizens to follow a quarantine that will be renewed perhaps 
indefinitely. And well, we had already decided a couple of days before this 
decree to postpone the event that we had scheduled for Monday, March 16. Here 
you can take a look at the Agora Valencia invitation in the context of the 
World Happiness Fest (WHF): https://tinyurl.com/ungelnv

Our intention with the WHF people in Madrid is to carry out this event with the 
greatest enthusiasm as soon as the pandemic is overcome.

I will maintained inform you all.

Love & Peace,

Juan Luis

*Asunto:* [OSList] A VIRTUAL OPEN SPACE EXPERIMENT

Hello All,//

//

A huge leap, a bold move. Later today and this week, we are launching 
the Virtual Agora Gardens as part of the World Happiness Fest 
activities. It will be a self-organizing conversational space using the 
combined technologies of QiQo Chat (where you can choose your garden and 
topic) and Zoom (where you then engage directly in face-to-face 
conversations on topics of your choice).  A unique feature of this 
Virtual Agora (gathering) is that people will be hosting each other. No 
leaders, facilitators or official hosts. Self-organizing like in nature!//


//

You can check out the space and concept here; 
https://worldhappinessfest.qiqochat.com/cafe//


//

All are warmly invited to join this experiment, lending your passion and 
skills as hosts and facilitators, helping us informally open and hold 
space for others and with others.  It is free and lasts all week. You 
can drop in anytime and stay as long as you want. //


//

As the planning for the World Happiness Fest was underway, there was no 
way to predict the alarming and unfolding circumstances of the 
coronavirus.  The Global Happiness Event is in its third year and has 
been increasing exponentially. Over the past weeks and month, the 
planning team, organizers and world hosts have been adjusting, creating 
and responding with such sensitivity, generosity and heart.


//

With this latest Virtual Garden initiative, it’s also been a race 
against the clock. What was intended to be a small Open Space 
experiment, complementing the many activities (presentations, live 
events, and more) of the World Happiness Fest is now potentially a place 
and space that will fill an urgent and important need for many. //


//

*A bit more background:*//

//

The World Happiness Fest Week (March 16th - 22nd) 
https://www.happinessfest.world/en/ is launching today from Madrid.  All 
in-person events and presentations _now _“without audience” will be 
recorded and live streamed free. Many of the in-person Agoras 
(gatherings) – about 80 around the world have been cancelled or scaled 
down which will certainly shift the attention to virtual. Many of our 
colleagues in the Open Space community were/are hosting Agoras where 
they live: in Canada, Nashville, Spain, India and other places. //

Re: [OSList] Law of Mobility, reimiagined

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

In some countries you dont have a choice. If you are in a group of five 
you get in conflict with the Law. But 4 is ok. But since just the number 
"4" is really bad luck, a terrible omen in some cultures, I would leave 
that constellation and be in groups of maximum 3. And since 1,5 meters 
is the minimum distance to other people this constellation will fit into 
my living room. Once. In the garden we could have about 7 such trios. 
All abiding by the various rules regarding the distance between folks. 
Lots of givens. Lots of control. But dont worry, Selforganisation will 
creep up.

mmp

PS: For a few days I have now been in a group of 1. And in a few more 
days there will be a general curfew. You can leave your home only for a 
trip to the grocery or a pharmacy or for work. For Berlin this will mean 
that for that half of the population that live in single person 
households (1,7 Million) groups of 1 will be the rule. Not quite 
voluntarily. But it will be a blow to the spread of corona.

Dear friends,

Why wait until WOSonOS? Editing Wikipedia pages is not difficult. I am 
a Wikipedia editor myself, it is not hard to learn.  Wikipedia is like 
Open Space. Anyone with a good mind and a good heart can do it.


I am willing to have a go at correcting the mistakes. Anyone of you 
who will be reading my improvements and who wants to suggest further 
edits, is welcome to email me and I will process it as soon as I have 
time.


This week is quite busy for me already, it may have to wait until the 
weekend before I get around to making the first edits. If you are OK 
with this plan, I will do it within a week and I will let you know 
when I have worked on it.

It seems to me the next WOSonOS in October in Berlin is an opportunity
for all interested in this to post the wikipedia entry as an issue.
Maybe even in different languages (I never would suggest translating
the
english version into another language), such as German, Swedish,
Chinese, Hebrew, Dutch, Italian (I am suggesting these knowing that
folks from countries where these languages are common will be at the
WOSonOS).

In general, I love wikipedia and the way that stuff is characterized
("This article contains content that is written like an advertisement.
Please help improve it by removing promotional content and
inappropriate
external links, and by adding encyclopedic content written from a
neutral point of view. (July 2018) (Learn how and when to remove this
template message") gives you hints on the quality of the entry.
There seems to be no way of avoiding folks messing with an entry that
are from a different planet.

Yes, Bhav!
And I share the thought of Thomas, the wise man fromn Sweden: Nobody 
might show up or all of them will come. Selforganisation will take care 
of it. And if nobody comes, the Wikiperson might enjoy the break and 
turn into a butterfly or join a group on something that interests 
her/him much more than this over and over editing stuff.


See you in October and if you are in Berlin, or any of you reading this, 
before the WOSonOS there is always a good chance of an extraordinary 
Stammtisch.

And here is a random idea.

Berlin has the second biggest Wikipedia organisation in the world, over 
100 people.


One of the things that Wikipedians love to do is to run live 'learn how 
to edit the Wikipedia' sessions.


I am quite connected with the Berlin organisation, and Jo T has met them 
as well.


I could ask if:

  * Someone from the Berlin Wikipedia community wants to offer an
editing session at the WOSonOS.
  * Whoever shows up for that session will both learn how to edit the
Wikipedia and practice editing by working on the Open Space
Technology page.

*What do you think/feel?*

Hi Ya'll,

Yesterday, I checked Wikipedia for a quick encyclopedic description of 
Open Space Technology.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Space_Technology

It seems that several edits were made in the last 6 months ago or so. Up 
until mid 2019 I thought the wikipedia entry was good (if lacking in 
some nuance out of necessity). After changes, the current entry 
describes a very unusual Open Space. The Open Space it describes is not 
an Open Space that I want to be a part of.


I recognise Wikipedia is not going to be perfect, but I feel like the 
current entry is actually misleading, and I think it's harmful.  I'd 
like to do something about that.


I'm raising this to the OSLIST because I see that Harrison, Chris 
Corrigan and others were actively making edits on the Wikipedia entry 
and discussing it on this list between 2008 and 2015 at least. I don' 
see anyone from this community working on this now (although I could 
have missed some signs). However, I know there is  history and 
experience here dealing with the Wikipedia ecosystem.


If it's a good use of time and energy, I can help make edits to the 
page, but my question is how would we approach this as member of the 
community on OSLIST? What experience and history can members here bring 
to bear.


(Btw this IS my first posting to OLIST, but I've been lurking around, 
and meeting different parts of

this community online and face to face.)

That's the gist of my question. A few details/examples follow my signature.

Cheers,
Steve

A few of the more outrageous details/examples (IMO)

There is text that appears to describe the sponsor introducing paid 
speakers in the opening. (I don't think a circle is mentioned).


In fact, the article keeps referring to the "speakers" and the "speaking 
schedule", which gives me the impression that Open Space is a talking 
head conference that's simply easier to organise because you don't have 
to make speaker schedules in advance.


This statement from the article seems antithetical to Open Space 
Technology to me: "At the end of the best open space meetings, a 
debriefing document is compiled summarizing what worked and what did not 
work, so the process can go more smoothly next time ... Constant 
improvement of meeting design is vital for attendees to feel taken care 
of and to creating the perception of value from the meeting proceedings."


The article claims to be paraphrasing Micheal Hermann's post here at 
OSWorld 
https://web.archive.org/web/20150518200725/http://openspaceworld.org/wp2/what-is/ 
by stating: "Several meaningful outcomes can and should be specifically 
built into the process (safety, trust, courtesy)". I don't Michael says 
anything of the sort. Don't think he would. But if he does say it, he 
doesn't say it in the post referenced by the citation.

Re: [OSList] How do you "hold space?"

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Jake and you others, (after finishing this piece I suggest you 
first get yourself a cup of coffee or other beverage you cherish, find a 
couch and take a little time to read this lengthy piece)


I as facilitator will increasingly get into the mode of "total presence 
and absolute invisibility" by reflection. As I inch up, or millimeter 
up, in this regard the easier does it get to hold "time and space".


Now, this is both more than rocket science as well as simple. However, 
and this is the tough part, not easy.
After pushing myself in the early years of my practice I eventually 
realized that "total presence and absolute invisibility" requires 
life-long attention and learning. As does holding time and space. Both 
are part of this. And if you start with OST late in life, as I did at 
the age of 56 and three decades of OD and related stuff behind me, its 
mainly a lot of un-learning.


Okay, here are some of the things I reflect on... best with others right 
during an ost event (I actually plan timeslots for this in the agenda 
the team has for itself):


--- Being unattached to outcome and not getting involved in content is a 
prerequisite for having the high energy required for attaining the mode 
of "present and invisible." (I think it was HO who tells the story of 
being asked by someone during an OST event about apparently doing 
nothing... and him responding with "Doing nothing is what I get paid for.").
--- One thing I can arrange for and reflect on before getting into a 
facilitator situtation, is not to facilitate an ost event in a situation 
that I have stakes in (like in my own organisation).
One practice tested way is to help oneself and other facilitators in 
this regard is to arrange for a "rain check" system: I work as 
facilitator without pay in your organisation and you in turn work as 
facilitator without pay in mine. That allows us in each case to be fully 
participant in a setting we have stakes in. And for lots of learning. 
Which happens easily in sustainably reflecting my practice.
--- One more thing I can arrange for once it is clear that I am 
facilitator in a specific event is to have an assistant who supports me 
in doing nothing and reminds me to stay out of the way. (This reminds me 
of a story about one of the Ceasars in Rome who hired someone to quietly 
tell him that he is not God when everyone adored, admired, fell on his 
knews before him.) The assistant, in turn, has a team to take care of 
all the nitty-gritty stuff around setting up the event and caring for 
the event without being space invadors.


--- What is central to my role as facilitator in regard to 
"holding/expanding time and space for the unfolding of the force of 
selforganisation"?
OST has this as its central characteristic. I know of no 
approach/method/process/etc. that has "holding/expanding time and space 
for the unfolding of the force of selforganisation" as its central 
characteristic. It is unique to OST. This I think is also one of the 
reasons why it always works, appears familiar to everyone once they get 
into it, is effective in all cultures, etc.
As is often told, there is really only one effective way to reduce the 
unhampered unfolding of the  force of selforganisation: Control.  Mind 
you, the force of selforganisation does not appear completely (this, I 
think would stop everything, the universe would disapper). It can get 
very tiny, but its there... an organisation or a group or a neighborhood 
would not be unless the force is still active. The way, it often shows 
itself, is in the "informal" part of a system that is used by everyone 
to make things work. It can also rest in the "informal" leaders in a 
neighborhood that Saul Alinski, among other things, looked for in 
working with communities.
--- So, all situations, tempting as they may be, in which I exert 
control are counterproductive for the central characteristic of OST. 
"Control" can be around little things that I intuitively do in 
situations where I feel I need to step in: Walk up to the Bulletin Board 
to pick up an issue-poster that got unstuck and put it back in it place. 
A bit more control might be my suggestion that no issue needs to be put 
up more than once. And even more control is active when I proclaim that 
a certain issue has nothing to do with the overall Theme of the event.
--- Being fully present for me is also a prerequisite for dealing with 
space invadors. There are no recipies for this. One thing that helps me 
is to start counting before I address the space invasion. Most often a 
fellow participant will speak to this before I reach 6. For me, this has 
nothing to do with "trusting" the group. I prefer to say that I know 
groups will handle stuff like this all by themselves. If they are let. 
Sometimes in the early part of the ost event a participant will walk up 
to me and request that I come to a break-out session that has problems 
with the issue or the process. The first time I was

Again, a bunch of great ideas and perspectives on this thread.

After considering it more, I am going to propose to the sponsor that
we adjust our convergence process. Per Michael and Chris's
suggestions, I will propose that participants organize the notes
into themes. This will assist meaning-making and pattern
recognition. Then, I will invite participants to vote on the themes
that they would like to see turned into OKRs. The top 3 get turned
into OKRs using the iterative sprints.

This approach seems more organic and simple. It also seems to flow
better, and it requires less facilitation.

I also like Ilan's ideas about structuring the notes towards the
outcomes. I may also incorporate that.

Thanks again!

Extending this to an Open Space format, let the structure guide

For example, have the session summary sheets have, in addition

about 3 SMART key results) - if you want to guide participants
towards the OKRs concept. That said with a invitation to favor
the more open and the less prescriptive approach.

As for the initiatives session, one thing we had at a client is
to prepare a large board with a table having tall rubrics for Os
on the left side, and wider and shorter rubrics for KRs in the
right.
During this session, participants - conveners and other - were
invited to place their Os and KRs in the board and share what
they found passion and responsibility for to take forward.
In effect, that way self-organized teams were formed to make
these initiatives happen.

Re: [OSList] From Open Space to objectives and key results (OKRs)?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Jake,

seems there is a lot of stuff that you busy yourself with that might be 
better dealt with by the sponsor of the event and the Planning Group for 
the event.


My experience is that after assisting the sponsor in finding out whether 
ost (check the 5 or so prerequisites) is what is needed from his point 
of view for whatever sticky isssue he needs to deal with the next step 
is to have the sponsor install a Planning Group. This group needs to be 
in some way a microcosm of what is expected to be the mix at the event. 
Usually, that would be the sponsor himself and a few more folks that are 
affected by the main issue directly and indirectly. Also, usually I 
facilitate the meeting of the Planning Group. It usually meets just once 
and then is in charge of working up to the event.


Any time you find yourself worrying about what might be usefull for the 
process or feeling you are shortcutting stuff, you are working too hare.


Now, all this sage advice might be of little use for you considering you 
are already too far down the stretch. But there is always the 
possibility to go back in case I realize something is awkward or 
whatever or requires my energy that should really come from the client. 
When I was in a situation like that and did go back, it never backfired. 
On the contrary, it secured a much better procedure for everyone... all 
in accordance of the wisdom in your signature
"When the mind is quiet, the sun of your heart will shine once again, 
and you will be free of problems."

Hi folks,

Anyone have experience using Open Space to develop OKRs with a group?

I am facilitating an Open Space event in late February. I plan to use 
the 25/10 Crowdsourcing method to prioritize draft objectives (O's) and 
then 1-2-4-All to develop the key results (KR's) for each objective.


The sponsor wants a maximum of 3 objectives. It might get a little hairy 
if the clear cutoff for the 25/10 Crowdsourcing is greater than 3. Guess 
I could use voting to narrow it down. Also, I am exploring if consent 
decision-making could be useful. The sponsor might need to make a final 
call on the top 3 if the group is split.


Thanks and much love,

Jake

MIAMI (AP) — When the Chiefs won their first AFC championship in 50 
years, chairman Clark Hunt and the rest of his ownership family decided 
that they would bring everyone associated with the franchise to the 
Super Bowl: the coaches and players, the front-office staff and scouts, 
the janitors and receptionists, and all of their families.


Hunt estimates the team brought 2,000 people total, or about 3 percent 
of the capacity of Hard Rock Stadium.


“We’re still counting and I’m sure I’ll never know the exact number,” 
Hunt said with a laugh. “One of the things we talk to the staff about is 
that we’re one team. There’s not a football side to the staff. There’s 
not a business side to the staff. I make that point to the players when 
I talk to them at training camp. I make that point to the rookies when I 
talk at the rookie dinner. We wouldn’t be here without every employee in 
the organization. We felt it only appropriate to bring the entire team.”


That includes the security staff, too.

Any other way to access it?

I tried this as a response… the cybergremlins intervened, so here goes 
another!


ho

Sagit … I confess that my response to your note was equally, or perhaps 
mostly… a response to the present moment. This is not the first time 
that Planet Earth in general and/or your particular part of the world 
has hovered on the edge of serious chaos. Each of us may hold whatever 
opinion(s) we wish, and I certainly have mine – but several facts are 
indisputable: Nobody really understands what’s going on, even less do we 
understand where it might be headed, and most of all -- nobody has the 
exit plan. Under these circumstances, and while we hold our breath, a 
little conversation with our fellows might be in order. But how?


There are some 8 billion of us on the planet, divided at least 8 billion 
ways … not all of them happy. Having a useful conversation under the 
circumstances seems rather impossible. Doubtless there have been 
processes, procedures and structures developed for human beings to 
pursue their issues by less than violent means. But all of them seem 
rather inadequate right now. We do not have sufficient facilitators, 
interveners, therapists, parliamentarians, process re-engineers, 
conflict resolvers, etc… for the job, and even if we did have the 
number, the necessary time for positioning and preparation doesn’t exist.


Are we out of options? Maybe --- or then again there may be an option 
we’ve had all along and never quite took seriously.


Some people call it Open Space, which could make it sound like a novel 
procedure or process to be applied immediately and globally. In my 
experience those words sound nice, maybe even comforting, but do not 
describe reality. Open Space is nothing new, strange or different – it 
is precisely what we have been doing for the past million years, or 
however long it is that /Homo sapiens/ has been doing whatever it does. 
 From the very beginning we sat in a circle, posted our wishes and 
dreams (sometime on the wall of a cave), opened a market place to trade 
and share our ideas…  and then we went to work. Sometimes these circles 
formed on a more or less regular basis (weekly market sort of thing) but 
the really critical and important ones happened when they happened … but 
always when there was an issue that grabbed peoples’ attention, that was 
so complex that nobody could figure it, involved so many different sorts 
of folks that nobody could count their kind, stirred great passion and 
usually conflict, and had to be dealt with NOW.


Over time there was a move to institutionalize this primal circle and 
give it a name like Senate or Parliament. And it didn’t take long for 
some to think they were in charge. Often this worked rather well and it 
seemed like the established order was maintained. Every so often, 
however, A BIG one would come along and suddenly we were back to basics. 
Even in the 21^st century that can happen.


So how do you have a meaningful conversation with 8 billion people? We 
have the means, and it comes with our genes. I suppose the issue of the 
moment is to get out of the way, and let it happen. Doing that may well 
open the door to a whole new understanding of who and what we are, where 
we are going and how to get there. We even have an electronic assist 
that our precursors could never have dreamed of. To all of this I can 
add my own personal experience – that never in 30+ years, often in 
extreme conflict situations have I seen any sort of physical violence 
and ALWAYS witnessed the previous combatants in respectful relations 
with each other… sometimes surprisingly so. They shed common tears, 
danced together, laughed and even hugged each other. They did it all by 
themselves with no prompting and no assists. Wonderful!


But what about now? How to get the ball rolling, so to speak? 
Truthfully, I really don’t know. I can also imagine that it will happen, 
if only because it has happened before. If anybody out there is 
searching for a mission, something useful to do with their life and 
talent … opening this door might well be a good place to start. Or there 
are other possibilities I would really rather not think about.


Harrison

Re: [OSList] the largest Open Space (Participants)?

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Lise in Copenhagen,

what do you mean with "the number isn't a big deal"?

Remembering that OST gatherings work from 0 human participants (there is 
one reported, where a dear colleague of mine in a remote German village 
in the Black Forest gathered a bunch of dolls, had them take on 
different roles, facilitated the event as a sponsor and had a wonderful 
time), and up the ladder to 2, 3, 5, 9, 12 ... up to 3000.


I myself was part of one with 2108 as co-facilitator with HO on May 3, 
2003 in Würzburg, Germany. Thats at least the largest in Europe, I 
think. Here more details in the Open Space Worldscape

https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/165-jetzt-meine-leidenschaft-meine-verantwortung-ueber-die-tagung-hinaus-now-my-passion-my-responsibility-beyond-the-conference


If you scroll down to the end of that entry, you come to a very detailed 
fotoshow with 97 pictures that Erich Kolenaty put together

https://www.transformation.at/documents/OS_Wuerzburg_minimized.pdf


Erich, you can see here in the World Map

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/erich-kolenaty
His website talks a lot about Large Group Interventions (even though I 
would not call OST a Large Group Intervention since it works beautifully 
for any size of group)... here is his great website and believe it or 
not its is there in German and English

https://www.transformation.at/


Since you asked for the biggest of all I think Peggy Holman facilitated 
one with 2100 youngsters in Colombia... here you can see her in the 
World Map

https://www.openspaceworldmap.org/worker/peggy-holman


and her website has a grand section on open space

https://peggyholman.com/openspace/


and a very detailed and wonderful account on the largest she ever did, 
see here

https://peggyholman.com/papers/articles/good-work-for-2100-colombian-street-kids/


and one string of os events throughout the State of Washington with 20 
os events, probably altogether more than 2000 folks

https://peggyholman.com/a-conversation-about-the-arts/


But I do dimly remember that there was on os event with 3000 people but 
maybe thats just a story.


I wonder why we never had  a WOSonOS with 3000 people. Imagine we were 
to invite everyone attached to os, participants, facilitators, sponsors 
and met for three days.


How about Denmark?

Greetings from Berlin where I am off to our regular Stammtisch where we 
have between 1 and about 20 participants... including great greek food 
and beverages... its been going on for 12 years in the same greek pub 
that in itself is a veritable open space organisation. But thats another 
story


Cheers and greetings to Copenhagen

Re: [OSList] Quite a few questions about Sponsors, empathy and a safe open space for all it’s participants

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Sagit,

you are lucky to be Tova's student!

To your questions:

1. "Sponsor" in my understanding is the person who actually opens the 
space by greeting those who are present, speaks briefly to the heading 
under which the event takes place, talks shortly of his expectations and 
hopes for the event and passes the mike to the facilitator... to get 
down to business.
In case a school holds an open space, the principat might take on the 
role of sponsor but it could also be someone selected by the planning 
group such as a student or a parent...

In case a business holds an open space, the CEO might take on this role
In case of a formal Community Organisation it might also be the CEO or 
someone from the Board of Directors

In case of a political party it might be the General Secretary of the Party
In the case you mention, the head or chief or whatever one might call it 
of the association can take on this role... in other words the head or 
appointed person of the internal body of the association


Yes, I think the sponsor has a vital role... as facilitator I had 
contact with the sponsor long before the event took place, the sponsor 
organizes and is part of the planning group, the sponsor is active in 
what happens after the open space, the sponsor is present at the next 
meetings after the open space event...


2. From my point of your empathy will be present or develope during the 
unfolding of the process before, during and after the open space event. 
I dont pay any attention to it.
However, I encourage the sponsor and the planning group and myself with 
the open space facilitation team to pay a great deal of attention to the 
space in which it takes place and arrange everything so that the force 
of selforganisation can unfold... this is a huge topic by itself that 
can be influenced by everyone involved... readable signs and posters, 
fresh and delicious food from the beginning to the end, fresh air and 
windows to the environment of the place... and many other things that 
can actually be influenced. Doing this well will provide a setting in 
which the participants, including the sponsor, will feel welcome, move 
with ease, navigate without too much barriers, have everything to be 
productively active (it does take a lot of energy)...


3. Some aspects were discussed above... a safe and comfortable space can 
be created. From my experience I know that the other stuff you are 
talking about will be taken care of by the folks that gathered for the 
event. Anything you do that the group itself might be able to do is 
simply closing down the space for selforganisation. This is one of the 
toughest task for just about everybody, just to stand there and do 
nothing in the knowledge that the group will take care of it.
Of course, if you know that folks are so fired up that they might come 
to the events with weapons (Harrison described one such an event) its a 
good and sensible and needed intervention to provide for a process for 
folks to leave their guns at the entrance.
If the open space addresses some really wicked stuff and spirits are 
high, there is no way to get much progress in a three hour event... it 
is more likely to work when you have the full 16 hours spread over three 
days, sleeping twice.
Mentioning at the introduction that the bulletin board will be open all 
the time and that there will be opportunities in addition to the opening 
sessins during evening news and morning announcements... will show you 
that participants will post stuff not only in the beginning (for 
whatever reasons that you need not worry about) but throughout the event.


Wishing you a great time in your plunges

Hi everyone,

I’m Sagit,  another one of Tova’s students :)

I'm interested in learning more about three different topics so thank 
you so much for sharing your experience and opinions in one or all!



Sponsors -how vital are they for opening a space?

For example, in the case of an association that is dealing with a 
significant conflict. Since there is no external body that runs the 
association, the question arises as to whether open space can be held 
without sponsors? Can a community have an open space without a sponsor?



Some questions about empathy and open space -

The first one will be - Is empathy important for a successful open space?

And if empathy is important -

How can empathic space be created and maintained for all its partners 
and voices that want to be heard?


What techniques and tools do you use to bring empathy to the open space 
and how do you invite other participants to hold empathy together?


Do you have any signs or metrics for measuring the levels of empathy in 
an open space?


  Did you come across occasions where it was difficult or

Dear Mark,

not coordinating or coordinating in such a way that everything happens 
on the same date might turn out to be a relevant and easily achieveable 
contribution to save the climate.
Also, it challenges everyone of us to make up  our minds on what we are 
most passionate about and care for.


While I dont have an answer to your question  it did pop up in my mind 
that your question might be one of your issues in case you turn up at 
the WOSonOS.
It would not surprise me if some very surprising ideas and even projects 
might pop up.


Happy holidays and frolicking wherever you are, which, as you know is 
exactly the right place

[OSList] Definitions...

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear colleagues,

reading this from Mark Carmel in the note of Dec 5

"What IS Open Space Technology if not to inspire participants into 
action to pursue their passion to accomplish their aims? Their purpose? 
To become successful in their life?"


made me wonder about this statement and about the many other things OST 
is supposed to achieve, accomplish, etc.


I suspect that all statements in this direction are manifestations of 
the assumptions we find to be pretty solid truths.


The manifestation of my assumption around OST goes like this
"OST is a tested and reliable approach to expand space for the unfolding 
of the power of selforganisation."
Nothing more, nothing less. This also keeps it entirely open und 
unpredictable what happens when the force has a better go at it in 
comparison to the normal conditions under which is restricted.
When we take a look at what happens in OST events we can see myriads of 
things, including folks taking action on stuff that they care for and 
are ready to fight for.


In my thinking I believe  I as facilitator should not worry or bother 
myself with what can be achieved with OST. I simply know that there will 
be more space for the force. What happens is definitely  of interest to 
all the folks involved.
And usually they know but dont take much notice of the fact, that they 
have been doing and achieving all this stuff under the influence of the 
force of selforganisation, all by themselves. They dont really think 
much of it because they apparently are pretty happy with what they are 
doing. And any attempts on my part (or other facilitators) to get them 
interested on what wonderful things they have been achieving (Community, 
Leadership of All, Selfmanagement, Vision building, Goal settingthey 
are rather bored with those exercises and want to spent their energies 
for getting on with what is at hand for them).


Definitions of such things as "success" are endless. In the context of 
an OST event I have become more and more interested in not being noticed 
after the market place activities. The less I am noticed the more 
success I feel.


Greetings from Berlin
mmp

[OSList] World Open Spacc on Open Space in Berlin 2020 or Bust

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear friends in the LIST,

just had a note from a dear colleague in Ottowa who wrote:

"I  hope to make it to Berlin and have noted it on my calendar for 2020 
as a way to influence the gods and the odds of getting there."


Knowing of the influence of the gods all over the planet and elsewhere I 
did send her my suggestions in support of her wish.
Here it comes as something for all of us seriously wanting to join 
WOSonOS next year in Berlin:


"Another way to open space for the support of the gods for your trip to 
Berlin next year is the


PIGGY BANK approach:

Make it a ritual right after you had your first beverage in the morning 
to add something to the piggy bank. It also could have something like 
"Berlin 2020 or bust" (in English and French and especially effective in 
German "2020 nach Berlin oder Flaute") written on it. You might put it 
in a place where every visitor to your home or office (very radical, 
have two piggy banks!) simply cant overlook it. Anything valuable such 
as coins, gold, paper money, bonds, stock certificates, precious stones 
(diamonds are grand)... you name it."


Of course, we should start an intensive interchange on more tested 
approaches right here on the LIST.


Berlin 2020 or bust!

Have a grand day wherever you are... and make sure to get Greta off your 
back (she is about to arrive in Spain by sailboat to join the Global 
Climate Conference in Madrid) by planning CO2 poor ways of moving about...


Greetings from Berlin

[OSList] Extraordinary Stammtisch ...

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

... in Berlin on Thursday, November 21, starting at 8:15pm  at

http://www.kreuzberger-weltlaterne.com/?lang=en

on the occasion of the visit of Harold Shinsanto to Berlin.

So, if any of you happen to be in town, drop by.
Nobody knows what we will busy ourselves with. However, whatever it is, 
it will have heart and meaning.
Harold has just been at this years WOSonOS near Washington DC and the 
planning for the 3rd WOSonOS in Berlin in October of 2020 is picking up 
steam, so that might be something...
Otherwise, as always, its big helloes and tales and greek food and wine 
and laughter at our hangout.


The Kreuzberger Weltlaterne is near the Subway Station Kottbusser Tor, 
just a 5 minute stroll.


See you there

Re: [OSList] WOSonOS Privacy Guidelines

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Marc,

back in 1996 I received the invitation to use OST (Open Space 
Technology). This gift came from Harrison Owen.


It did not come without strings attached.
A kind of "price", if you like:
I was firmly admonished to share stuff that I learned in the process of 
working with OST.
"Right!", I thought and still think so. To share this stuff has been my 
daily practice since then and I love it.


We are in an ongoing experiment with this technology. The parameters and 
conditions under which this experiment is conducted continuously evolve 
through our communicated experience and learning.


The first 16 events I facilitated in the 12 months after running into 
Harrison confirmed that OST always works when certain prerequisites were 
in place. It keeps on working even more reliably as our learning is spread.
One of the myriad ways of spreading our learning and honing our skills 
in this work are the many varieties of "learning exchanges".

The best know are the
--- WOSonOS moving around the planet
--- regional OSonOS (European Learning Exchanges, for instance)
--- national or local events (in some places they occur or did occur or 
are started again and again in the UK, Basque Region, German language 
region Austria-Germany-Switzerland and many other places)

--- local exchanges and not to forget
--- Stammtische (the next one in Berlin is just a few days away, Monday, 
November 4 at 7pm at this location

http://www.kreuzberger-weltlaterne.com/?lang=en


As far as sharing of proceedings of our own events (we is the sponsors) 
the present practice can be seen here

https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/osonos/
Not only can you see the dates, places and conveners for each of the 26 
WOSonoses listed there (the 27th of this year has not been posted yet, 
its all selforganizing, nothing gets in there except stuff that someone 
puts there) but also proceedings, such as the for the  18th in Berlin in 
2010

https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1771-wosonos-proceedings-pdf.pdf

and also for the Action Planing

https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1770-wosonos-action-planning-pdf.pdf
Although this took place almost a decade ago, the pdf documents had a 
navigation built in... you can reach the individual documents by 
clicking on the items in the sidebar.


The proceedings for the Florida WOSonOS in 2013 are an example of a 
fancy set with pictures and stuff typed up and a list of participants 
with names, email addresses and places folks came from (if things went 
correctly, the photos and address stuff could be there only if everyone 
agreed to that).


For proceedings of events we facilitate there are other modalities. What 
happens to the proceedings is in the hands and responsibility of the 
sponsors of events.
Nevertheless, there is a data base that lists about 834 events that have 
taken place around the planet... mostly its the Title, length of event, 
dates, number of pariticpants, www of the sponsor, locations, names of 
facilitators, Assistants and Team, Language used, tags... but not 
proceedings.

Here are a couple of examples

https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/745-issues-and-opportunities-for-the-future-of-anafae
https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/813-novartis-2006-novartis-to-firma-w-kt-rej-wszyscy-najlepsi-chcieliby-pracowa-a-ci-co-w-niej-pracuj-to-nie-chc-z-niej-odej-co-zrobili-my-w-latach-2004-2005-aby-to-osiagn



As far as poems are concerned: There used to be an annual competition 
for the finest poems on open space... here is an sample of how that went 
(in fact, the archives of our list are a real treasure chest for almost 
any angle of our learning), inlcuding a sample of the poems

https://www.mail-archive.com/oslist@lists.openspacetech.org/msg01649.html


and a sample, authored by Ralph Copleman
"Dare to Facilitate Open Space!

Against best counsel,
Dare engagingly,
Facilitate!
Get help in just knowing Love matters!
Now Open-positively-quite-remarkable-Space today!
Undo victimhood,
Wildly x-perience your zest!

That's it."

...

cheers

Dear OSList community,

Will you give me some guidance on conventions on sharing Proceedings from 
WOSonOS outside this group. Is it appropriate to, for example, blog the 
beautiful found poem of our final check-out in Sunday’s closing circle? Is it 
appropriate to share Proceedings pages among folks who have an interest in OST 
facilitation or an interest in a particular domain that we discussed supporting 
through Open Space?

Thanks in advance! Blessings!

Re: [OSList] Skye Listening for the Harmonies

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Skye,

I wonder whether OST as such can help us experience harmony, wholeness.

Form experience with OST I know that it is an effective tool for 
expanding time and space for the force of selforganisation to do its thing.


It might be/appears/feels that OST is not out to control anything (in 
contrast to many control-mechanisms I frequently experience). Controlled 
processes and procedures reduce time and space for the unfolding of the 
force of selforganisation.


Now, I wonder whether the force of selforgniation is after harmony, 
wholeness.


I suspect that there are many concepts of harmony and wholeness 
depending on our religious, historical, biographical, cultural, 
political... etc. background or matrix (having spelled out 5 variabels I 
see that this is in an order of very high complexity and more variabels 
abound).


Life could also be synonymous with force of selforganisation. This might 
come to me because I know that if the force of selforganistion gets 
close to zero its in a way similar to -273,15 Degree centigrade (0 
degree Kelvin)... nothing moves anymore.


Ineffable is the experience of whatever it is that happens when the 
force of selforganisation is active. I sometimes have seen a bluish hue 
during an ost event. It is however, not a "nice" experience nor an 
experience describable with our limited linguistic repertoir... 
ineffable! The closest I have gotten it squared  for me is "awesome"... 
well, even that is inadequate.


Yes, I do love the feeling of the awesome-part-in-me.
It impulses me with supporting OST being employed over and over again 
and when I see it happen, I have a smile in me.


Just got interrupted by a phone call from our midwife daughter who told 
me of her highlight today facilitating a birth. Its ineffable. She also 
studies midwifery after many years of practice. She reports that in her 
"science" the process of giving birth is called "Selbsttätigkeit des 
Leibes" (close to self-activity or self-organisation). This concept is 
outside of the kind of "science" as we usually might conceive science 
(segregating, linear, evidence based,). So it is in he realm of 
philosophy.


Cheers from a sundrenched afternoon in Berlin where I met tired 
schoolkids on the bus moaning over the first day of school after the two 
week fall vacation... out of a phase with much selforganisation back 
into a phase with less selforganisation...

Am 21.10.2019 um 13:43 schrieb Skye Hirst via OSList:
How does Open Space Technology help us experience harmony, 
wholeness?This may well be the most ineffable idea in today’s busy 
world.Life seems to present moments of such harmoniousness and we may 
notice them when they happen and then forget them.They don’t get 
highlighted as something possible on any dependable scale, so they get 
passed over, dismissed as a “nice” experience but most likely we don’t 
share them.However, the artists among us will capture them through their 
medium. We love the feelings this work gives us, this reminder of those 
numinous realities.


What happens in OST?What are those realities we experience more often 
than not while participating in a concentrated time around an invitation 
question, an urgency, a group of people sitting in circle, creating an 
agenda and sitting with questions, getting to deeper ones?


I believe OST is micro of a macro reality that life’s organism ways 
provide for us in every moment.“Come to the circle, tell us your tale, 
you are not the only one who is hurting.”This phrase from a song written 
in the 80s by a friend, speaks of the power of OST.There is something so 
powerful about being reminded, you get to choose how and where and when 
you give your attention.It has been called an antidote to the world of 
hierarchical dominating meetings, work life and organizationally dead 
structures.


So I say, I want to capture the ineffable, but how silly that is.And 
yet, we can point to shared experience, to knowledge that goes beyond 
words, to celebrate this most amazing, awe-generating process abiding in 
living structures, living “becoming” events that are 
/alivenmaking/.Let’s listen for the harmonies, for the moments of felt 
sensing our wholeness, our unity, and our differences at the same 
time.This is a “both and world,” not an “either/or” one.It takes work 
only in that we remember what we can easily forget with distractions and 
constant “busy-ness.”Notice when those moments of peacefulness enter 
into the “field” when we take a long breath and let it out fully, 
sitting with one another without needing to fix or change ourselves, or 
the other. What are your experiences of “fulfillment” of listening in to 
deep knowledge of being alive?


One OST participant spoke of it as something one cannot talk about, but 
to experience it is to have lived, feeling aliveness and we want it more 
and more. Then we want others to have the experience so we try to talk 
about it.I say, “Come to the Circle, tell us your

Video

Please upload to Vimeo Phelim. Then anyone can see it.
Is there an OST Channel on which to load it—on Vimeo or somewhere, Harold?
Thanks!

Generally, it is considered good internet practice to not send large
files to a mailing list, but a link.I am also very curious, so I
hope the uploading works.Met vriendelijke groet,Koos de Heer

Koos is right.

And actually, our mailman software does not let large emails
through. Even
emailing photos endangers the OSList being labeled a spam site.

Please use YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Box, or any number of free file
hosting platforms and then mail the link.

Then it won?t clog up email a thousand email inboxes, and only those
opt to
click the link do the megabyte/gigabyte download, so the OSList won?t be
blamed.

Cheers,
Harold
