OSLIST FAQ version 1.0

[Peggy Holman]

Chris,

Your FAQ is terrific!  Thanks for providing such a great resource for the
list.  Perhaps Murli (the list's host) can set it up so that new subscribers
automatically get a copy?

To Artur's comment:

Since I am one of the people Chris quoted, this may sound self serving.  If
so, so be it.   I think it is quite important that more than Harrison's
words are used throughout this FAQ.  A gift from Harrison to all of us has
been the generosity of spirit associated with his  invitation to freely open
space.  Through his gift, we are not be beholden to him as a guru.  There
are many experienced practitioners who continue to contribute to the growth
and evolution of Open Space.  I believe we are well served by hearing these
many voices.

Peggy

You're welcome.  I haven't heard from Murli for a while, but if he's lurking,
maybe he will follow your suggestion.

I like what you have to say Peg.  I don't want to engage in a lot of
wordsmithing or plumbing the depths for descriptions of OST, and since we had
the "elevator definition" a few months back, I just used a couple of those,
given that a FAQ is little more than an "elevator conversation" in itself.

At any rate, if Harrison, or anyone else has a 25 word definition that could be
included in the FAQ, send it my way.  And if there are specific questions people
want to see addressed, I'd invite folks to provide a question and answer and
send it off to me and I'll insert it somewhere.

I'll leave it at that.  Unless I hear otherwise, I'll provide the FAQ to the
list once a month or so.

Yours in the spirit of community building at any cost(!),

Chris
