Hi Gabriela,
Congratulations on your selection for the PoliticsOnline list!
I just voted after some earlier difficulties with trying to access
the site some days ago.
Whoever votes are the right ones, at the right time.
All the best with whatever happens,
from Allison
(in Healesville, south-eastern Australia, on a cool, still blossomy,
spring, Saturday morning).

Dear Claudia,
Big T H A N K Y O U for your vote and for your very kind words!
Yes, it is an indescribable honour to be selected and listed among
all the other 19 positive and future-oriented (and million-users)
Internet projects.

... Yes, yes :) I am sure, all this is already happen -- here some
memories and experiences:
About three months before I exprienced the strong vision of
OpenSpace-Online in 1999 a question arised in my mind. I begun to
ask myself, what can I do to help to spread OST much more than in
the present. At this time this question came again and again into
my mind and I found it very, very strange. Especially because I was
at this time already very active with and for OST. I co-
facilitated a few Open Space Conferences and I was very busy with
"planning & conducting" OST trainings together with Michael M
Pannwitz. "How can I spread even more Open Space?" I found this
"inner besetting question" very curious. But over months this
question appears again and again. When I experienced the deep flash
of inspiration ... it was very C L E A R ... this was the
answere ... and OK, I understand, this is my job :).
And now since a few years, wonderful things happens. Most of the
people or organizations, who get in contact with us have no
knowledge about OST / OpenSpace. They simply look for fast and easy
to use group meetings tools -- mostly via search engines. ´They
have an urgent topic and a group and the problem of not being
physically together ... they "jump into" a first try to use
OpenSpace-Online without being interested in the "deeper" online
method. But then, when they feel ... wow ... something here is
special, some of the participants and sponsors begin to be corious
about the methodology and also often about its face-to-face roots.
Then they often read our eBook. This kind of "own aha-discovery's"
have led a lot of OpenSpace-Online users to read Harrisons User
Guide (its always my first suggestion) and to other wonderful
personal and business changes, which we all know very good :). I
have had so many of these aha-talks in the past and this is simply
"heart-filling".
I am sure, the jury's Global Top 20 selection and/or the Top 10
award is a good help for both watersides of the wonderful "passion-
and-responsibility-river" Open Space.
Thank you, dear Claudia and all who are crossing their fingers for us!
Now, only 2 Voting Days Left ... its very exciting.

particular reason for such supreme and unsurpassable affirmation.
