I¹ve only facilitated 2 OS¹s so far.  In both of them, I tried having a
sign-in sheet  in each small group.  Something about making people sign up
at the beginning bugged me‹it seemed too controlling.  But asking them to
sign up during the small group didn¹t work.  People were engaged in their
conversations and didn¹t want to be bothered by admin stuff.  Also, one
session was 3 hours and the other 1 day, so I think people didn¹t quite get
into the swing of things of taking responsibility.

One good thing about the stickers‹at least they¹re legible!  And if you had
stickers with phone numbers or email and the sign-ups on 8.5x11 paper, you
could photocopy the sign-ups very easily for people to take with them.
