"Hello, and welcome to the third-day of this Open Space. Facilitator A who had spoken on day 1 has given the responsibility to open the space to me: let me introduce myself: I am Facilitator C from X in Z. It is a great honor to be opening space for you today, after Facilitator A has already delegated so nicely to Facilitator B yesterday, and didn't he do a marvellous job? Thank you B, for opening space yesterday, and thank you A for having delegated this important responsibility! And thank you all for showing up today, after all, it is _you_ who this is about, isn't it? It is all about the _participants_! And remember, the space is always open! Except, I guess, when the facilitator is speaking! Hihi! So now, after these words of introduction, let me explain to you the *principles of Open Space*! You have all heard these before, but what the hell, as I am standing here now and Facilitator A has given me the responsibility...." I never got this "facilitation" on what-is-not-the-first-day. What does it take more than to say: "Hi folks - anyone got any new topics?" and sit down?
