Dear Jeff, some questions: what is the theme for the event? where is the "convergence" in your design? did you consider using just the Saturday for the os-sessions?

Dear Peg, Glad to hear the system is progressing. I do wonder how much complexity is now being built into the system you are applying. I'm rather with Michael Pannwitz and underlining the "letting-go" qualities that are seminal to Open Space - as I understand and live it. Along with Harrison and

I'm trying something a little different. The Open Space last Friday was not long enough to get into convergence, and it was agreed at the outset that we would converge the material with the planning committee (about 15 people) ten days later. I have a very short time to do this (4 hours) and I ha
