Lots said. So many wonderful ideas and thoughts! Hooray for the OSLIST!!!
I've many things to write all in the spirit of a smile and an arm around
the group's shoulders:

process and stultifies the conversation rather than enhancing it.
In OS, any participant is free to offer a specific process for their

After a number of years working as a facilitator with various structured
processes, when I began facilitating Open Space, I discovered that the breakout
groups could work just fine without more-formal facilitation or structure.
For one thing, the groups tend to be smaller. People come

Thank you, Tree. That answers my question.
I didn't mean to imply that the person opening the space would determine or
even suggest the process, but rather the person hosting the session, that

Great conversation, everybody ! (and I love all the hugging - those of
you who know me are probably not surprised about THAT)
So it seems to me there are several things we are talking about here.
One is if you are the facilitator - the person holding space for the

What I love most about open space is the many levels of process freedom that
participants empower themselves and each other with ... the open invitation

Jimmy, within the context of an OS event, it would be fine to post a
session in the marketplace on the demonstration of process. Then, the
right people would show up for that topic and the right things would
