Dear Christine and dear Claudia,
 
WOW - WOW - WOW .. thank you so much for the very impressive presetation of
this amazing event! Wonderful how you involved the volunteers into this
learning and facilitation process and how you combined Open Space Technology
and The World Café for so many people.
 
CONGRATULATION!
 
I like the beautiful images very much. Especially the huge "marketplace".
And I like your poster "Be ready to be surprised" :)
 
Warmly
Gabriela

Dear Friends,
 
Claudia Haack and I are excited to share our report to the Girl Scouts of
the USA on the "Open Strategic Conversations" capacity building project
which culminated in large events at the Girl Scout National Convention -
<http://i.b5z.net/i/u/540396/i/GSUSAfinalreport06.ppt>
http://i.b5z.net/i/u/540396/i/GSUSAfinalreport06.ppt.   Naturally, the Girl
Scouts have given us their permission to share this with you.   
 
On October 7, 2005, an Open Space on Governance was held for more than 1600
delegates and over the following 3 days Strategy Cafés attracted over 3000
participants.  These events were eagerly awaited by 100 volunteers - the
core of the capacity building effort who we had trained in Open Space and
World Cafe.  They had self-organized for planning and implementation before,
during and after the convention to become the logistics backbone for these
events.  The "Smooth Operators" as they called themselves, captured the
spirit and imagination of what lies in the future for Girl Scouting and have
gone on to facilitate many Open Space events and World Cafe conversations in
their local Girl Scout councils and their communities at large.  To see the
proceedings, check out www.girlscouts.org/convention/conversationsummary.a
<http://www.girlscouts.org/convention/conversationsummary.asp> sp   
 
Many of you held the space with us for these events - for that we are deeply
grateful.  And a special thanks to Maria Ort (who has recently joined the
OSlist) for bringing your skill and grace to the Design Team.  
 
Namaste, 
 

Christine & Claudia
