Brilliant, I love it.
There was me thinking our wall could be done with the agreement of the owner
- perhaps by buying or asking for the donation of some poster advertising
space. A flash mob could do Open Space as a form of art work - perhaps even
in an art gallery...
What could the objective be
Thanks for raising great questions that touches on a topic I've been
thinking about for some time:
It seems to me that one of the most important jobs of a President today
should be to engage the American people, maybe even the world's people, on
important topics of conversation. Corporate ethics, e
opening space for art that is life.
thanks for this, daniel.

If the lessons being learned in the 9/11 hearings are that information,
concerns, urgencies are not getting around...then:
Isn't there some way that the incoming and outgoing administrations
could have a big Open Space event to transfer information, concerns,
urgencies each time?

Dear Chris and all
Spot on, Chris. For my money.
I confess to never having used the word "givens" in any context with a
client. Ever.
But I know the concept is important for me to understand and be aware of
and take into consideration when I am working through the formulation of

Dear All
For the record and for sharing, we opened space here in Melbourne for
perhaps the Sixth OSonOS in this part of the world, March 17-19. It
seemed proper to open on St Patrick's Day as Brendan McKeague - an Irish

Colin--
Your post has been on my mind and in more than one entry in my journal
since I read it. It has sparked my imagination. Thank you.
Your idea about a big marketplace wall in a public place intrigues me.
Could you extend it a little? What might it look like? How could we pull it
off?

Michael -- it seems to me that the Emry's have it mostly right. The real

also the assignment of responsibility in an arbitrary fashion. The way
