Thank you Funda and Viv. Your responses to my inquiry has brought light to my curiosity, and of course I will following up the we20 meetings in London.
Cheers, JL www.juanluiswalker.blogspot.com De: JL Walker [mailto:[email protected]] Enviado el: sábado, 28 de marzo de 2009 10:35 Para: 'OSLIST' Asunto: Progressive Governance Conference (Chile '09) In some way, in my metaphorically host condition of this summit, there are a few questions that seems impossible for me dont asking it to all of you now (and of course also applies with the G20 next week): What could happen if all this stuff goes around in an Open Space format? Don´t you think that its most profound purpose clearly deserve it? What could be the difference in the results? Appreciatively, Juan Luis PS: For more details about this event go to: http://www.policy-network.net/index.aspx?id=1930 http://pgc09.wordpress.com/ De: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de funda oral Enviado el: domingo, 29 de marzo de 2009 8:20 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [OSLIST] Progressive Governance Conference (Chile '09) Hi Juan, In OST format governance would be possible NOW. Governance actually is a choice in PRESENT. It is NOW or NEVER. And it can neither start nor progress in Conference Format. Regards, Funda De: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] En nombre de Viv McWaters Enviado el: sábado, 28 de marzo de 2009 20:19 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [OSLIST] Progressive Governance Conference (Chile '09) Hi all Thought you might be interested to know about we20 (www.we20.org) we20 is a grass roots gathering of small groups all over the globe around the time of the G20 Summit in London in early April. The idea came from a group of friends in London (probably having a chat over a beer - but I might have made that bit up ;-) Johnnie Moore who is a London-based facilitator using Open Space influenced some of the thinking around the way to conduct we20 meetings by suggesting Open Space (OK - I might have made that up too, but he's certainly involved). We cant afford to leave this global mess to just 20 suits in London can we? Globally we face a huge challenge. A global economic crisis. 7 billion mouths to feed. Uncertain futures. How does that translate to our region? So Geoff Brown and I will facilitate we20 gathering locally this coming Friday using Open Space to explore the GFC as an offer to help us build resilient local communities. Check out this film for a quick intro: http://www.youtube.com/we20media we20.org will act as a hub for we20 meetings, a place to organise meetings, discuss plans and vote on the issues that matter. we20 are not aligned with any particular interests and will try to help implement ideas from we20 meetings. we20 meetings are being held by people like us across the world to create ideas for improving our lives. The G20 leaders meet in London on 2 April. 20 world leaders. 20 people together making plans that will affect our future. You may have ideas to change your neighbourhood or ideas to change the world. Whatever change you want to create - it matters to we20.
