Michelle and Linda,
You raise a topic of great interest to me in your recent messages on the
"voting process".
I had been using an approach to convergence other than by "votint", an
approach that some of us developed at the OSonOS, 3 years ago in
Toronto, but was not totally content with it so I t

Reflections on recent postings here. Apologies for the length.

Linda;
The event that I facilitated with a colleague last weekend had a format
similar to what you describe- 1 1/2 days for open space discussions and
