I agree with Chris and many others who marvel at the organic connection we
seem to create on this and other lists we subscribe to. And I believe the
list basically IS an open space that relies on the 4 principles, the one

I agree with Michael and Joelle. "Whatever happens" is a key principle to
inform how we operate in Open Space. At first I struggled a bit with that
one. I later recognized that it was my desire to shape or control the
outcomes that was driving that struggle for me. As a social justice
activist,

Thanks for your questions and comments. Personally, I have never taken

Let me weigh in with my two cents worth: I think the list is just fine as it
is. I am prepared to make sure that my postings are either sharing
information about an open space or giving out information that others might
find useful. I like hearing about the different trainings and events that are

Winston, and others--
I'm one person who sometimes unintentionally sends a reply to the OSList
which I intended for one person. Can someone please clarify for me the
mechanics of the process?
