Process in Breakout Groups

[Jimmy Pryor-SunBody]

Thank you, Tree. That answers my question.

I didn't mean to imply that the person opening the space would determine or 
even suggest the process,  but rather the person hosting the session, that 
would say they wanted to use a particular process:
"I have envisioned using OS and allowing those that post topics for 
discussion to include the method of consideration.  For example, someone 
might say "I want to have a conversation cafe on x."  or "I want to give a 
presentation on the work I am doing to clean up Japhet Creek and then lead 
a conversation on how we can do it better."  or "I will give an 
introductory workshop on nonviolent communication."
