Hello all: Due to my current lake of time I have changed to receive messages in the "digest mode". Even so I rarely have the time to open a digest. But when I do I fell disappointed and probably will have to unsubscribe completely. Before doing that I will repeat something that I have already send to the list some time ago (1 or 2 years ago - and probably with a different set of subscribers to the list). In messages to lists the netiquette recommends that participants: 1) Quote only the relevant part(s) of the message they are answering to; 2) NEVER include after their signature the full message(s) they are answering to. This is so because messages to lists are distributed many times, and that technique uses too many resources, but also in benefit of those subscribers that receive messages in digest mode. I don't remember if this remark is included in the FAQ's of the list, but I ask Chris to clarify if it is so and, if he agrees, include a reference to this and resend the FAQ's to the list. As my previous message was not understood, I have decided, in a last attempt, to give the readers the possibility to see what a digest looks like without my recommendation being followed. Please note that "there are 8 messages totalling 4326 lines in this issue" of the digest, and that probably only 10% of that is new text, the rest being messages that the reader have already red, and there is no need to repeat. Of course you are not obliged to read the digest... I apologise in advance to all the list member that receive the digest mode and to those that will consider my evidence impolite.. With best regards, from (today) sunny Portugal Artur ---------------

What would the risks be if we opened space and it wasn't certain to be safe? Do any of you have experiences which didn't turn out to be safe - and what happened next in the organization? Do you follow up and ask what happened in your client's organization, e.g. half a year later? I hear some people saying they had one experience in Open Space which wasn't well embedded in the organization and then got frustrated and decided they would never go for it again. This of course is the worst case and bad publicity for our passion, Open Space. Please share your bad experiences, we can all learn tremendously from them.

As a guy who has been (and is) in a couple of those organizations Tennyson mentions....and struggles with finding a way to open the space, I'd hope that when you get a call from me, or another explorer, you'll be open to going in there and doing what you can. Most organizations have some folk who want to move toward better space; sometimes they're fortunate enough to be in a space where they can assert a little leadership to start down that path. But it is a dimly lit path and many of their colleagues will discourage them. Those who've been down it must come back and light the way, offering guidance and reassurance to the newbies. Seems like we have to fight the desire to only open space when we're sure it's safe?

That was just the sort of low-down I wanted. Now I have a good idea what you mean. It is a wonderful way to open some space for people who often find it closed by the "do-me" meetings so prevalent in our society. You are to be congratulated for being innovative in opening these spaces. Which brings me to something you told me off-line a few months ago, something I think others might be interested in conversing around out here in the open spaces (if you are willing): how you view opening space in corporations and hierarchical organizations and similar settings which seem to me to prefer closed spaces and control. Why spend your time and energy trying to convince people against their natural inclinations? Is it not an uphill battle, and would it not be better to work where the seed could fall on more fertile soil? :- Doug.

GTI's = mission is to imagine, assess, and advance a great transition to a = global future of enriched lives, equity, solidarity and a healthy = planet. It takes seriously the slogan of progressives everywhere that = "another world is possible," but proposes that such a world must first = be imagined creatively as a plausible human project.=20 GTI's network of 200 participants from 40 countries contributed to the = preparation of this series = (http://www.gtinitiative.org/default.asp?action=3D43) through a more = than year-long process of general exploration of ideas, thematic working = groups and review. The 15 papers in the series elaborate the global = challenge, future visions, and strategic directions in various domains = of culture, politics, technology, economy and society. The papers offer = no "blueprint" of the future, but are meant to be imaginative ventures = that engage and intrigue others to contribute to the enterprise of = inspiring change beyond the crisis and despair of the day. According to = Paul Raskin, the Coordinator of GTI and President of the Tellus = Institute, the GTI's paper series will " sharpen the critique of = conventional thinking, deepen the understanding of the global possible, = identify critical levers for change, and promote a coherent popular = movement." The GTI is facilitated by the Tellus Institute (www.tellus.org), formed = in 1976 as a a not-for-profit research and policy studies organization = based in Boston, and now a world leader in assessing critical = environment and development issues. Tellus has worked at every level -- = global, regional, national, local, and enterprise -- bringing both = vision and analytic rigor to fashioning strategies, policies and = decision-support tools. Key foci have included energy, water, = sustainable communities, corporate social responsibility, and climate = change. Our projects are distinguished by an integrated perspective that = illuminates linkages across spatial scales and the environmental, = social, and economic dimensions of development.
