Julie--

I can't speak for what Glory intended.  But you can give people a simple
form--on 8.5x11 paper or flipchart paper--that outlines the report:  Topic,
Convenor, Participants,  Recommendations, or what you like.  Gives people an
idea of the level of detail to present to the group, and establishes a
somewhat-consistent format.  At a recent Open Space we facilitated, there was
a lot of energy and responsibility around convenors getting their reports
finished within the meeting.  Some large and lively discussions had 8 or 9
pages of flipchart notes, so we were glad we had provided a briefer format
for the reports!  And the detailed notes went back to the office with the
convenors, for future use.
