Harrison,
I thought of your call for some "Radical demcracy" as I read this piece
by Margaret Wheatley who is entering into conversations with Americans.
"I've begun to invite the people I meet into conversation by asking:

Here is another question I have:
It is not always easy to gather a group of people on a given issue for a
full day, less 2 or 3.
For example, if a city council wants to use OS to involve citizens in
resolving a given issue, it seems difficult to propose a full day or
two. In such settings, meetin
Hi Florian,
It's been a long time since OSonOS Vancouver!
I just forwarded this post of yours to Robert Gilman, a local (Langley,
WA, US) friend and (hopefully) soon-to-be city council member who is
interested in doing community-wide open space as part of an ongoing
civil infrastructure. I am

As you have gathered folks do everything under the Sun from 1 hour to
three or four days. And it also seems that some basic rules of thumb can
be helpful. Just remember it takes an hour and a bit to get going (open
the space, post the issues, etc) so if you only have three hours, I find

It has been done. Dave Koehler has done it several times in governmental
and school settings in Peoria, Illinois, USA. Perhaps he will jump in.
I did one this spring that was 3 hours each day, for three days, each a
week apart. It was in a community setting, dealing with elder care

I've done one with twenty people for three hours. Three sessions of 45
minutes each plus a little extra time because the rooms weren't adjacent...A

hello dominique, glad to see you here.
dave koehler invented a fine method for this and he (and we)
have used it successfully in peoria, illinois, usa...
the model is three consecutive evenings.

Dear Mike Copeland
Write-on, Mike. If people are in conflict during open space, let
them resolve it or move onto another break-out group.
We did an event once when seventy percent of time was dominated by
the past, i.e. management's failure to recognise the demand by staff
to form a union. As

You remind me of a French, Canadian, Kiwi guy I know who lurks and pot shots
this list serve from time to time.
Great to see you launch into the list full blown. Welcome and keep on asking
your questions. I found it very scary at first but was amazed at the
response from this lis
Dominique,
I've opened space for as little as an hour and as long
as three days and everything in between.
Here's a link to a session last month in Washington DC
held only between 10am-4pm including a leisurely
