Re: FW: Is Anybody Home?

Hi Harrison, I noticed a while ago that whenever I responded to one of your posts, my email automatically selected your email address rather than the OSLIST  address. This never happened with anyone else. I think I just figured out why this is. I think that under your account settings on your

Hi Christine, Many organizations are mandated through their constitution to use Robert's Rules for their decision making. I have found that Robert's Rules can be a lot more "pleasant" and workable when they are not being used too strictly. For example, it is often a lot easier to discuss an is

Is whatever information present the right information??

Thanks to everyone on this list, I am learning more and more about OST. But every couple of weeks I get a new question. "Whoever comes is the right people" totally makes sense.  But what about the information needed? We have all been at "conventional" meetings where nothing was accomplished du

Hi everyone, I hope nobody is too taken aback by my sudden burst of questions. I am interesting in hearing what people's experience is with (not) using a microphone. How large can the group be without needing a microphone and sound system? And when a microphone and system are needed but the v

Thank Brendan. I have no idea why I couldn't find that in the  first place. I like the example of the merger of the two schools in Copenhagen and also the quote of the Danish Queen at the bottom. "Many tensions in the world may originate from the conversations that never take place." I knew ab

Hi Jack, Thanks for your suggestions which I think would be very useful when talking to clients/sponsors. My concern is that in the situation I currently am in, nobody really cares what kind of expertise I have, nor am I in any position of power. I am just a "regular" parent who is trying to "
