Management in a World of Turtles

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

In the last 7 years there have been about 13,000 people in osevents
that I facilitated.
Now divide 6.500.000.000 by 13.000
that would mean 500.000 facilitators working each at the same level
as I have for the next 7 years to reach every human on this planet.
Looking at the open space world map
http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/
there are 183 of us
looking at this list serve there are 437 of us
and some folks gestimate that there are
maybe 20 000 of us worldwide.
Well, we are getting there!!
