Hello Christine! Your message gives me the opportunity of "returning from the cold" and share with you some insights from my experience with "Bolivian Time" (everyone arrives at any time), 15 mn late would be a record here!
If you already know who comes on time, appoint "the usually late ones" for 1:15 or 1.00 pm You may start on time and keep the four principles and the rule posted at a noticeable place, so late comers could see them. Same would apply for the organization panel and you may have (previously written) instructions posted near it. Participants already working, could acquaint newcomers as they join the different working groups. If you would not like to "over manage" your gathering, just let the water flows as it should. At the closing circle you will have a chance for making some remarks or... refflect. Good luck; have my warmest regards from La paz Jaime * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
