Ok, plunging in here... deep waters!
One thing I'm noticing, is how words "sound" different, within different
communities...
some of the posts above, seem to assume that "authorization" is about the
"standard" world view...
and sometimes, some parts of me resonate with that... it's a word that

I use Open Space regularly with adults with a disability. Remember who ever
comes is the right people, my challenge is to ensure I find their ability and
not be distracted. These are people who have passions and are willing to take
responsibility for their lives and their environmen
Dan, Peggy, Michael, David, Kári, Paul,
Such a rich topic.
I don't think Dan is "barking up the wrong tree at all".
Perhaps this is just my own experience, sensitivity, and upbringing -
but I deeply resonate with the changing sense of authorization that

Michael -- you REALLY DID IT! Marvelous. And I just loved your thoughts...
"For some reason, I often cringe seeing the complex and intricate endeavors
to fathom, understand, get our hands on... the stuff that we are, I think,
not equipped to comprehend... still, wouldn't it be wonderful to get ther
For a lady without words... you really did good! And I admit, as I think you
would as well. Words never quite do it. So what else is new? Thank you.

It's no joke, the Open Space Hotline is coming up tomorrow, *Tuesday, April
1st - 12 PM Eastern!*
The OS list is hot and the OSers are even hotter :)
You are all warmly invited to come with whatever is up for you at the
moment - projects, thoughts, questions, curiosity, or April Fools' jokes

OS is an intrinsic experience comprised of infinite of infinite relational
"fields," let's say, using the words as kind of metaphor-like pointers.
Remember that old TV commercial - for this and that is MC but for the
intrinsic experience - it's priceless, I'll say intrinsic experience is

Dear Dan,
my beans tell me that

is that force which has brought about everything since the Big Bang, the
same force that is active in man made systems... or in less structured

Peggy,
Thanks for your reply. You hit all my favorite notes hereand now you
got me going. I'm being triggered! I'm spilling my beans...
I currently believe that self-organization is actually the

Harrison, thanks for your reply and your perceptions. I'm starting to
believe English is woefully lacking with respect to describing Open
Space dynamics, with any kind of clarity.

Dan - I think I see the source of your dilemma (stuckness). "Equivalence of
authorization" (or non-equivalence) is a valid consideration in the
traditional organization, characterized by pre-determined hierarchy,
authority, control, and all the rest. The situation in Open Space is of a

Dan,
You ask great questions!
My take: like most of life, authorization is more nuanced than your statement
below.
Like you, I believe everyone has 100% equivalent authorization AND they also
carry the imprinting of habits, context, self-talk, existing relationships, and
more that influence
This is very helpful for helping me understand your thinking. Thanks for
sending the rich detail and disclosure.
I am stuck. I continue to hold the belief that (quoting myself here...)

Dear Dan,
as mostly, there is none or very little detailed thinking behind me
expressing the idea, that authority does not disappear just because an
os-event is taking place, and there is no levelling of authority, which
I assume you meant, when using the expression "equal standing".

Dear Patricia,
an open space just for (devellopmentally) challenged people i didn't
opened so far. But i opened space several times for groups in which
(devellopmentally) challenged people took part, for example for the
