Hi Catherine- The list is rich with applications. For my small part, I've had some success with 20+ OSTs held while being a local elected official in Harrisonburg, VA (mayor and then council-member, 8 years).
Short video of the first one: HarrisonburgSummits.com - Open Space Meetings in ... - YouTube <https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjfw_i1pejVAhXLJCYKHZrpCJgQtwIILTAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DcPEIM4on648&usg=AFQjCNEzUBNQlGEPFTnXgl-uJPW2ncALcg> (There are more videos from of these "summits" on the YouTube channel) Also, this is a 30-min training I put together to share with others how I use OST in this way (main focus is how to get people to show up). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwIfCtj22xo Note: 1) I avoided making these explicitly about influencing local policy, and 2) they were not integrated as "official" events convened by the city. Nevertheless, there were countless outcomes (relationships, info shared, "actions", etc). In the past, I'm been a consultant to use OST for a regional "Hunger and Housing Summit" for a Planning District Commission; in the future (Sept 23), I'm assisting the City of Charlotte use OST for a day-long Saturday event that brings together their neighborhood coalitions ( http://charlottenc.gov/HNS/Pages/NEX.aspx). Thanks!
