Thanks Doug,
It's good to hear other groups have met this way.
How do you manage break out groups on Skype?
I have used Skype a little, but not for Open Space.
Does each break out group need to make another call, using a
different phone number?
Or does the whole group stay together on the original number?
I'll have a look at the Doodle site.

Allison--
The Open Space Institute-US board meets in open space monthly via
conference call, using one of the free conference sites.
Climate Space people met internationally for several months using
Skype.
And people are using Skype and conference calls to meet in open space
from all over the horizon, by posting an inviting question on the
OSlist
or elsewhere, offering some alternative times (you can sort through
them
with sites like doodle.com), and then giving out the telephone number.
So I'd say come up with an inviting question, send it out and open the
space. Maybe 4 or 5 of you can meet that way ahead of the rest to
decide
on the inviting question.

Hi All,
I am unsure how to proceed and would appreciate your suggestions or
thoughts.
As one of a hundred members of an Australian professional
association, I have offered to be on a new, nine person working
group.
I was asked to set up this group, by ringing people who had expressed
interest in the association's future.
(Concerns had been expressed by several members about our future and
how to establish a suitable structure.)
The working group had been asked to look at structures including
incorporation and to write a constitution for the association.
Members of the working group are scattered through much of Australia,
so phone or similar meetings are more likely than face to face.
There is some interest in using Open Space.
One member of the group recently attended a 5 day Open Space
gathering and was most impressed.
I have sent the openspaceworld web site to group members.
For some reason I am having difficulty with finding the next step.
I guess it has to do with invitation.
And with knowing how we can best 'meet' if Open Space is chosen as
our group's meeting and operating structure.
It might be to do with finding a suitable technology.
The bodywork we all perform has many of the same principles as Open
Space, in a physical way.
Greetings from a cool, clear Autumn day in South-East Victoria,
Australia,
from Allison.
