Tricky and not much to add to what others have said except to wonder why
these two HAVEN'T been fired yet, and what is stopping that from happening?

If it was me, I'd probably opt to take a strong recommednation that we
figure out together how to have the real conversation.  Discerning what that
truth is is a tricky proposition, but  it sounds like there is another
conversation to be had, otherwise the firings would have already happened.

Hard to speculate, from afar, but those are a couple of thoughts.  Good luck
with your decision.

Well, well, I wondered why they asked you, an old hand at group work
in far flung places, to do one on your doorstep.

Guess you have two choices: First, refuse to facilitate on principle
that it perverts the spirit of Open Space with a hidden agenda; or
second, do it.

If you do it, is there any possibility you have made the wrong
assumption about the sponsor?  Is there a chance the sponsor might be
undone during the process and be thwarted?  Might other people defend
the potential victims?  Who knows what might happen.

On the other hand, the process could be used to keep everyone in line
in the future.

Looks like a gamble either way.  At least the event might bring
everything into the open.   Anyway, the sponsor would try and do what
they wanted behind the scenes.

Please let us know what you do about this dilemma and especially what
happens

Good luck!  .

All the very best
