Columbia OS

[AVNERH]

In the experiences we had in Israel with Harrison, It worked just fine, and he used to be whenever needed and very helpfull. I guess that talking (in english) with individuals also helped, but he was definitely one of us.
I think it is less important to speak the language when you have also a local fascilitator. 
And about your broad question Peggy, I guess we will know more about that in few months.

  A few weeks ago I passed on a message from Pablo Restrepo, who is planning an OS on a renewed negotiation process in Colombia.
  His sponsors have received the idea favorably and so they continue to plan.
   
  I have 2 questions for the list, one very broad, the other very practical.
   
  The broad question is what are we learning about Open Space in highly conflicted, violent settings that can increase the likelihood of success?
   
  The practical question is in Pablo's words:  
   
  One concern we had is whether it is really necessary that they speak Spanish, some think that with one of us as a co facilitator this is not needed.  What are your thoughts on this?  
   
  Any help on either of these questions would be most appreciated.
   
  Peggy
