forgot to mention, birgitt... have made the other changes you've sent
directly...
if anyone else has little things to edit/update, there is a good chance
that the page in question is directly editable by you. just click the
'edit text' link at the bottom of the page.
some pages are 'read only' as they represent the current 'givens' that
hold the whole .ORG space together. some of these pages are easily
changed and others not so easily, but feel free to post your ideas to
the list or to me directly, as you discover things at the site.
like i say, the next big invitation is coming soon enough. hope to see
you there! michael

hello birgitt, thanks for your reading and questionning.
the article you mention is perhaps four or five years old. i wrote it
when the .ORG site was first set up. might not be perfect, but it
doesn't seem to have done too much damage in the meantime. many i know
have used this article specifically as their marketing piece and i think
a good bit of it is quoted from things i've heard harrison say. it's
also been translated directly into 10 or 12 of the languages that are
listed on our homepage now. which is to say that there are indeed many
diverse views already represented in the .ORG pages and that the editing
you are talking about is no small task. literally not one of us in the
community has all of the skills needed to make the changes you are
suggesting. it's already that big.
that said, i am soon to post an invitation to come and do exactly the
work you are asking for, make space for all of the various viewpoints
that are passionate about and responsible for the practice of open space
in the world. this will be an invitation to this whole community to
give collectively-developed shape to that which i and a few others have
started and nurtured over the years. there is much new ground to be
covered and cultivated.
i am a bit worn out just now from the work of getting ready for this
moment, but as soon as i catch my breath, the invitation will be
launched, the space opened, and i hope you will be part of the community
that will gather to take our online self to new levels of organization,
clarity, peace and wholeness. i am really looking forward to what will
grow together in these new spaces.

Michael,
thank you for sharing your website with us and for all of the information
and insights that you have there about your knowledge of OST.
H
...I KNOW that this cannot be guaranteed and it might cause us as
independent
workers with OST problems when it says so on this site. So....what is the
option regarding www.openspaceworld.org regarding items that there may be
disagreement about in terms of what is portrayed out into the world
regarding OST. Part of what might need to be sorted out are "what are the
givens" regarding www.openspaceworld.org
Michael, I think you have put together such a fabulous community resource
and I am wondering how it can become representative of the diverse
viewpoints about OST. I thank you for your work and your gift to us all.
