Friends:
As I read the numerous postings regarding the relevance of the
conversation and whether it ought to move or not, I was struck by a
thought of something that should have been obvious to me. How about,
"what ever happens happens." If the conversation needs to take place,
then it will, and it has. And when it's time for it to be over, then it
will end. It's déjà vu all over again.

As with most things -- there is no single, one, right answer. The list will
be what it is -- though personally I would be much more interested in what
we are learning about Open Space (or opening space) in the new reality...
than perhaps some other material. But I can (and do) DELETE as necessary.
The Caucus space serves well for an extended discussion of a particular
topic. And, as usual, When it is Over, it is over. Which explains the level
of "inactivity." The way, I think, we were using both resources was to use
the list for What's Hot and Current... and if deeper, sustained discussion
seemed warranted, move to Caucus. In the past what I have done is to let
everybody know via the OSLIST that extended discussion on topic X was
possible on Caucus. And. Whoever came were the right people (surprise).
It's worked before, and if you want to use Caucus, and are having trouble
-- starting a discussion or just plain navigating -- let me know
offline <owe...@mindspring.com> and I will be delighted to guide you
through it.
