Great question, David. I agree with Doug, Lisa and Harrison. Offering
things that look like incentives or rewards doesn't seem like a good
idea.
But, a couple questions do come to mind. Who are the people doing the

People susceptible to a bribe obviously care about the bribe - but one might
ask - what else do they really care about? I would guess that in the
situation you describe you want people who truly care about the future of
your university. If it were me, I would just lay it out plain and clear -

On the one hand, every Open Space I've attended has had nice lunches, simple
breakfasts, some snacks, and sometimes even a relatively fancy (even if
potluck) reception. None of those things seem like rewards or bribes, though

David, my first hunch aligns with those of others (don't do that) and yet it
doesn't seem so bad in my eyes to say something about a nice lunch, which is

Hi Spark,
Find people who draw what the dancers say, and show them the images afterwards. Still better: add some words to the images, that is called “Visual Language”. I am tired to
