OS or not OS?

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

Dear Dominique,
seems that all of the prerequisites for os are pretty close to 100%
met:
urgent
nobody has the answer
conflict
complex issue
diverse interest groups

If I were asked to be a facilitator in that situation I would
certainly talk.
Who is asking you?

Good luck!
