It sounds to me like you are still struggling under the impression that you are in control.
I guess I am imagining myself as a participant that wants to use a slower, more reflective process to consider a particular topic, rather than a fast and loose conversation. I fear that if I merely say, I want to talk about x, that I will end up with a group that wants to use a fast and loose conversation and my only option if I don't like it is to use the law of two feet. So, I want to invite others to talk with me about x in a particular way. And the manner of conversation is as important as the topic. Perhaps I really want to use an inquiry circle process. Is there simply no way to do that in Open Space?
In thinking about the Dialogue and Deliberation conference where the demonstration of process is important, would OS work?
