AW: OSonOSinGOA - An Invitation

[Change Management Toolbook]

Dear Janet,

As I have expressed earlier – I will definitely come to Goa! I believe it is
a great place to meet.

As soon as you have made it clear, I will post it in my Change Management
Newsletter, which is read by 2,500 folks worldwide (many of them from the
sub-continent). With our training in South Africa in 2004, we also hope to
attract people from Africa coming to India. It is such a short distance via
the Gulf (at least from East Africa).

Warm regards,
Holger

Betreff: OSonOSinGOA - An Invitation

Dear Friends in Open Space,

Malay and I have been reliving a moment at the OSonOSinOZ, when we stood in
a Circle with Harrison and Peggy and knew in our hearts that the 12th OSonOS
the event would come full circle in Goa in 2004. And we said ‘Yes’.

We are now ready to extend to the OS Community our invitation to hold the
12th OSonOS in Goa, on the west coast of India.

The choice of Goa seems ‘natural’ in many ways:
 I understand that the name ‘Open Space Technology’ was inspired on Goan
soil.  (Harrison and Mahesh could tell us more)

Goa is a land of Open Spaces: endless expanses of perfumed red earth and
emerald trees surrounded by white and gold stretches of sand, along the
pearly white waters of the Arabian Sea.

The people of Goa are characteristically ‘OPEN : in Mind and Heart and
Soul -- OPEN to welcoming guests, (their hospitality is legendary)  to the
Arts (great musicians, singers, painters, folk dancers and chefs) to the
Spiritual -- Temples and Churches dot the landscape, -- reminders of  the
Portuguese who surrendered the island to India in 1961.

Should we decide that Goa is the place I have the following recommendation
on the dates

Between 26th Sept to 10th October.  2004.

 Reasons:

This is a time between seasons : the Monsoon will have just ended, to make
way for the hot sunshine of October, before the relative cool of ‘winter’
sets in. In this in-between time, (not too wet, not too hot, not too cool)
Hotels will be able to give us lower rates and traveling will be easier.
(Chartered flights start arriving in Goa from UK, US and other parts of
Europe, from November to February.)

It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to visit other interesting
places in India. If this is  planned just prior to the Goa event, one could
avail of the extremely low Monsoon ‘Packages’ offered by Resorts across the
country, usually valid till Sept 30th.  (As we go along I could send you the
information you need, on this.)

Please let us know how you feel about this invitation and the dates. It
might seem a bit early in the day to think of Goa, while you are packing
your bags for Denmark. We’ve done a bit of spade work, and the earlier we
can firm up the dates, (assuming it is Goa) the better the ‘deals’ we can
negotiate.  Also we know that many of you need to set your calendars over a
year in advance.

There are so many ideas buzzing to help make this a magnificent Celebration
of the Spirit of Open Space—come full Circle.

Please say “YES”.  We are waiting to welcome you with OPEN ARMS. And can
hardly wait …..


 On behalf of myself and Malay Biswas
