Well, expanding your options and thinking beyond your team,  if there
is still time to fly people in (I imagine you are meeting in New
York) have a look at the os facilitators from Israel and Palestine in
the Map

We are struggling a bit to get clarity on who of our team makes the most sense to facilitate. We have several great folks - the question is really about the role of the "identity" of the OS facilitator in an OS that may generate lots of heat around questions of identity, including Israeli, Jewish, Arab, Palestinian, American and others. We imagine the group will include a mix of interested people from US-based civil society groups working on or around advocacy and/or peace issues related to Israel and Palestine.
