Hi Thomas,

Thank you very much for the manual, it has been useful already - it's a great resource.

Cheery, warm wishes from a clear, sunny Sunday morning in Oz,
Allison.

(PS I now seem to need to hit the "Reply All" button, and no longer the "Reply" button, in order to send a message to the OSLIST.
Or else the reply only goes only to the individual sender.
That might explain why some messages have been going astray.)

Dear Allison
I sent you the manual – we have had quite some learning lately and I just recently started to use “online-WPPF” with my clients. I will let e network of facilitators try it in a few weeks. They come from a large global company
longing for this kind of method… Exciting!

There is quite some useful stuff in the manual – even though I think we could update and add quite some learnings we’ve had. The main thing though
is sooo simple – just use the circle and a talking stick.

Feel free to contact me any time if I can be of any assistance
Warm regards

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for this information.
I did part of the Genuine Contact Program training some years ago.
At that stage, I was not aware of an online version.
While I was studying at uni, I stopped receiving Genuine Contact emails.

It would be sensible for me to look into software further.

I would really appreciate your sending the document that you mentioned.
My best address for that would be <mb...@iinet.net.au>

Thanks,
Allison.

Dear Allison
I have put quite a lot of energy into developing methods for distance
meetings, together with other collegues. We use an online version
of Whole
Person Process Facilitation (The Genuine Contact Program) to
facilitate
distance meetings - with great results.
Some pieces I also used in some of the telephone conferences we
have had
with OS-Institutes through the last years. I start by asking each
participant to draw a circle on a piece of paper (can be prepared
beforehand
by the facilitator if you have a suitable software which allows you
to use
common whiteboards (we have a license for LiveMeeting).
Then each person has a seat in the circle. This gives you as
facilitator at
least two options using rounds and placing an object in the center for
people to take if they want to speak. This way people may speak
until they
are finished w/o being interrupted.

Using a good software can give you more options - showing documents,
whiteboards, textdocuments, spaces for break out groups, video and
whatever.
That way it's easier to have variation, give space for different
learning
styles and have high energy throughout the meeting and also achieve
more!

Maybe Skype is good enough these days, even if you will not have
all the
functions mentioned above. Earlier we had lots of problems with
interruptions using Skype, MSN and other freeware. So now we had
LiveMeeting
for a year.

We gathered some experiences (for facilitators and participants) in a
document a couple of years ago -time to update - but I could send
it to you
if you like.
Warm regards
Thomas

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.
