Open Space / Open List / The Public Domain

[chris macrae]

I suggest 98% of us carry on as we always have

And the other 2% edit more carefully what they say if they have worries

Maybe I have got these numbers wrong, but as someone who knows what goes
on at least 100 listserves, yours is the most interesting, practical,
communal, caring and open; and we need as near as 98% as we can to keep
on opening up. The world needs the spirit of open space shouted from the
rooftops, nudged into dark places by the moles on humanity's side, and
it needs it urgently. Surely the peacemaking application side
demonstrates that- indeed the wholly human and transparent principles of
open space seem to me to be many desperate communities last chance at
finding sustainability.
This is why I feel compelled to write this way. But I know of myself I
am more of a messy fool than an even facilitator so if by chance this
reads hurtfully to anyone, I am sorry, I just don't possess in my own
skillset the all round communal conversational competence most of you
do,

but I do feel the urgency of open, and will try to voice it...
