<< In the work I do, which is often Future Search but sometimes OS (many
of the same principles apply to both) we place great importance on
the sponsor.  If you are the  sponsor, are you standing for the
organization or community of people you are calling together?  If
not, you might need to find the right sponsor.  You want a sponsor
that has the credibility to put out an invitation and have it taken
seriously. Then the sponsor has to invite a circle of stakeholders to
act as a planning team.  By getting broad enough representation on
the planning team, you have a broad enough representation of voices
to reach out to the larger group you want to bring in as
participants.  You can still open the event up to whoever wants to
come, but by having the planning team get commitments from a core
group, you make sure enough voices and the right voices are present.
The criteria we us is anyone who is affected by or could affect the
outcome of the conference and any voice that is necessary to address
the question posed to the conference.

Kenoli:  Nice statement about reality.
