Dear Michael:

Do you know if the school has changed other procedures to introduce OS
in the organization and not only in meetings? Have the way of relating teacher
and students changed accordingly?

That would be a very interesting result, that would show that OST (the
"free" and simple version) could be in itself as THE WAY to create Open Space
Organizations.

Any comments
