Kerry, Thanks for your response. Yes, I have to get myself out of the way here, and letting the Committee decide what to do with the madam's plan and to have her experience a limited-audience re-thinking of her assumptions makes sense. The "document" to be produced by the steering committee might be the way to acknowledge her idea while contextualizing it in what might still be an open-ish process for the large group. Whether it can be a true open space will depend on her willingness to have her plan become an idea rather than the idea for how to move forward.
We spent a glorious week in the highlands last summer. What a great country to live in! Thanks again.

How about distributing her plan to the Steering Committee and asking the Committee to deal with it during a half day event? She will then experience her plan's acceptability to the core group wanting to move the project forward. Let them deal with it while you step aside. Once the Steering Committee completes it's work, they can distribute their agreed document to all participants before reconvening an OST event for the 60 people and anyone else interested. The emphasis of this second event would be to agree the way forward and create action plans to make it happen. Good luck.
