Hi I agree with Bob, also I believe that sometimes there are boundaries that are real, and by not acknowledging them you are doing the same as when you close off things too much, namely creating a false basis upon which to work.
To me addressing these issues is also about having the sponsors confront their own limitations, and perhaps their own fears or hidden agendas as well. In that way it can be very unpleasant to address these issues but to me the biggest value of Open Space seemed to how it focusses people about the here and now of an issue. If there are real limitations, they seem to form part of this context....

I don't think givens are always useless. I do agree that they can limit creativity and exploration. I also think there is another aspect to the issue. Sometimes I'd rather be free to explore within a known boundary than not know when I was going to drop off the edge of the world.
