Funda - for you Anything! Yes I think you have it just right. The sponsor(s)
is the one(s) who needs the space opened. And the Facilitator is the person
who does the work. This also includes taking a nap if I am the facilitator.

Subject: facilitator & sponsor identity
Referring to my last (today's) answer to Zachary's question. I think i
confuse the role of the facilitator and the
sponsor.
I want to share with you while trying to clear my mind;
-there is a "question" that is worth opening a space
-sponsor is the one who should be sensitive to the question in the subject
and looking for the answers
-faciliator should be neutral...he is not looking for the answers...he
doesn't need to listen or
read the answers. He just makes a formal introduction among the sponsor,
guests and the
question...and explains the method (OST)...and that's it....so facilitator
should be really
without any identity, expectation, neutral...even doesn't have any interest
in the question and answers
and be able to leave sponsors and guests alone and free....
So the facilitator's main role should be offer a space to those who should
own and solve their issue
where the facilitator doesn't have any responsibility or stake.
I appreciate any comment on that, especially from Harrison.
thanks,
Funda
