This of course is making the HUGE ASSUMPTION that the host CARED enough to
make the invitation truly inviting. This may have little to do with the
words used in the invitation. The invitee may not feel invited if s/he
finds inadequate empathy in the host, or the mix of other expected
participants.

As Pat Black said, the invitee may not participate precisely because s/he
cares. Another "Open Space" (called by perhaps a different name) may be a
better use of hir (him/her=hir) time. Put another way, the invitee may
decide that the space is not the appropriate one for asking the question
that matters to hir.
