Just a brief fluttering in to comment on the note taking. I have been a little concerned about the convener being the note taker. Two examples from the WOSonOS, which is my one and only fully attended OS event so far! 1) A convener who has written a report as preacher-like as his circle was

Last year in a large open space where we paid deep attention to the documentation (http://addressingstigma.ning.com) one of the conveners said "I see what you're doing…this is just a massive document collaboration process." Even though the remark was said as a kind of tender complaint at how m

i know that so many people have never had the experience of receiving notes after discussions - and that some people use the notes for deeper reflection post-event. Some organizations turn them into work-sheets for projects, some return six months later to re-convene a group of people who car

Hi Kari, I usually don't worry a lot about note taking. In the beginning I did, but I discovered that for most people, the conversations themselves were much more important than the notes. I do make clear that if some future action is to be taken, notes are important and in that case they ha

These are good questions I think that bad notes are fine for the people that participated in a session. Now I have been reading the notes from London Wosonos as I was not able to be at location, these notes are a narrow window into the conversations that took place, like half shadows of the dialog

Hi Kari, I share you concern and I think that distributed note-taking would be the "natural" way in Open Space. My experience, though, is that even if we as facilitators encourage it or as conveners ask for it to other participants, people tend to keep their own notes. Maybe it´s an extra effort p
