Any Ideas on this one?

This seems to be a helpful approach in deciding if Open Space is the
best process of choice for an organization.    Gail

Don,
if you were to sit down and make a list of the "givens" associated with this
exercise, you will probably find your way with whether or not OST is
appropriate for this one. When I do this, I draw a dotted line circle on a
piece of paper and inside it is the freedom for creativity, wonder,
imagination of Open Space. Around the border are the "givens" that define
what is not negotiable. You will end up with a clear idea if there is any
space that is open at all.

Hope this helps,
Birgitt

There exists now a 12 member committee that has reviewed 22 proposals for
funding. Their charge is to make recommendations to a "commission" on which
proposals should be funded.  Of course, there is not enough money available
to fund all of them at the amounts requested. The committee would like to
avoid a "win lose" process and keep all interested parties engaged in the
purpose of the effort which is to help the prenatal through 5 population and
their families. Any ideas (or experience) on how a committee that has been
charged with this responsibility can formulate their recommendations in an
open space?  The meeting and/or the open space would also involve the people
who have applied for the money (and anyone else who happened to show up).
Any input from the list would b appreciated. I need to think of  a process
between now and March 5.  Thanks.........../Don
