Request for Proposal

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

Dear Bernd and ho,
have translated the list and put it on the german listserve
(openspacedeutsch).
Being a tidy German(American) I cleaned up ho's list, of course,
added Ralphs, added a plug for the fine piece on os that Jo Toepfer
and I wrote (is now part of the German Red Cross Leadership Manual)
and ended up with 10 points.
In fact I asked for additions which will certainly be forthcoming.

>when writing proposals 1) Answer the questions asked (presuming that they asked some). 2) Keep it simple. 3) Say as little about Open Space as possible. Certainly don't try and explain it. Cite the history (30,000 reps, 75 countries etc.) List the "promises" (all issues on table, all issues discussed, written reports . . .) I find attaching an article (eg NY times) is a good way of covering the territory. 4) List services offered (Preplanning, Facilitation, debrief) 5) Quote a price (fee plus expenses). -- and for goodness sake don't offer to provide logistical support (venue selection etc.) They can do it. It will give them something to do, which will keep them out of trouble, and out of your hair.
