Thanks Harold for digging into the topic and sharing your assessment!

My other topic is below.

2.
Will others join me to research any eligible university faculty or faculty
emeritus who might be willing to submit a Peace Prize nomination?

I have begun to sketch a draft list including some folks who are on this
listserv. And also including old friends in the OS world who might be
eligible - tho have not contacted these folks yet. Dr. John D. Adams, Dr.
Antonio Nunez came to mind recently.

Other topics can of course be placed on the wall that Barry invoked for us!

Warmly
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I'm going meta here. Let's look at the nomination process: 
https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/Nomination


It says nominations must be submitted by *January 31*. "In order for a 
nomination to be valid, it must be submitted no later than January 31." 
So we are preparing for the 2022 nomination process at this point.


Let's look at who can nominate:

https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/Nomination/Criteria-for-nominators

The relevant clause is here (emphasis added):

University professors, professors emeriti and associate professors of 
*history, social sciences, law, philosophy, theology, and religion*; 
university rectors and university directors (or their equivalents); 
directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes


The Open Space Institute - U.S. isn't allowed to nominate exactly, it 
would be it's director. OSI-US has never had a "director". That 
typically is a paid position. We could probably work around that issue, 
maybe, but let's say we could. What is a "Peace Research Institute"? I 
can't find a definition anywhere, but there are numerous organizations 
with "Peace Research Institute" in their name. Like the "Stockholm 
International Peace Research Institute".


I just don't think the OSI-US can morph itself into an entity that would 
qualify us as a nominator. It is likely to get our nomination 
disqualified. Our best bet is to find a Professor,  Professor Emeriti, 
or Associate Professor in the relevant subjects.

Hello Mark!

Jeff and I connected today about this today, and we are definitely
interested in moving this forward.

I would like to pose a question - A theme:

By all means, feel free to edit the theme if you feel so moved

*How will we appropriately Honor the significance of the impact on all
beings through Harrison Owen's discovery and dissemination of Open Space
Technology?*

A nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize seems to be a good start.

All 8 Billion of us are hereby invited to join us to explore issues and
opportunities relating to this important and complex theme.

For sure, our participants will be a wildly diverse group and potential for
conflict runs with the territory, - we know that resolving to succeed with
this nomination will be a HUGE leap towards Harrison Owen's realization of
his lifelong work of bringing all 8 Billion of us into useful conversation.
We know that this is possible  because we know that it matters not how MANY
people join this gathering , , , It's WHO comes. All the right people will
Show up and be fully present.
NOW is the right time for this . . . Right HERE wherever we are  . . . and
whatever happens will be the only thing that could have . . . And we might
just break the 5th principal, because, with success comes a universal
conversation which we know will never be over. Bumblebees, Butterflies, and
the law of 2 feet . . . and our only expectation is that we'll be surprised.

Let's get to work - We've got @ 8 months to submit this nomination
