Here is a network of individuals who are in touch with one another and with OST events that are taking place all over the world. I'm not sure that we can ever be successful in guarding against those who might "sell" something incomplete and call it open space. Rather, it seems we could do more to create awareness that a community of people exists who know one another (even if only via the web), and who share and learn from each other on a daily basis. What we're in effect looking for is authenticity. I think we give that to ourselves.
