Anytime people begin to self-certify and make an official claim out of it, it bothers me. I think it is an unfortunate outcropping of the downsizing that has caused the ranks of OD folks to swell with people looking to make a living doing something. Cathy

CornerStone has a well-designed website...and while the issue of "certifying" open space practitioners may run counter to this culture, I'm acquainted with one of the principals there and believe that he's a wise and principled advocate and pracitioner of Open Space. With that said, perhaps it (in
