An inquiry

[Larry Peterson]

Even when it is a group of organizations coming together, and I have led a
number of such Open Space events, I have always had a "sponsor group" that
was sponsoring the event (calling the meeting, doing the logistics planning
and details) and hence they were opening the space for the gathering.  They
were the group looking for something to happen as a result of the Open Space
and also the group that would attend to what happened after, even if it was
only a reflection on what they had done.  My role has been to assit them in
creating the conditions for a powerful event, and in opening the space at
the event (and whatever convergence is appropriate).
