Mark, Thank you for your passion and interest in the integrity of OST. My comments were really a challenge to me that I must as the facilitator accept whoever comes, we use the word "right" to convey the fact that everyone who chooses to come has the same status and opportunity. I must respect this unconditionally within the framework of the conditions of the meeting.
You are so correct in identifying the "weasel" words that are infiltrated into the system and of course I am not suggesting that rewrites are required. May I suggest that we stick to the basics and hold them as a rock to "break ourselves on" as Covey puts it. So be it. "Whoever comes..." as a facilitator I must accept as they have accepted the invitation and in honouring that acceptance we are together as one. The next thing is to ensure that "everyone" can be an active component of the OST (Butterflies and Bumble Bees included). My recent cancer attack and being a paraplegic using a wheel chair and other mobility devices just emphasizes the need to be aware of how easy it is to exclude people from parts of the space. Mark OST requires a very special dedication on behalf of the facilitator to understand and implement things like "....right". To conclude you emphasize "right" is a judgement, it is a judgement that I, as a facilitator or participant, accept rather than make.
