-With apologies for perhaps duplicating other invitations you may receive to
join in this call -

The U.S, Partnership for the Decade of Edn for Sustainable Development
<uspartnership.org> - with
support from the US Dept of Agriculture - hosts a monthly conference call
that's free and open to
everyone.

May's Partner Call is tomorrow - Thursday, May 18th - from 1-3 pm. Just dial
866-918-5492, passwoord
479-945# - and join in.

Harrison (thank you, Harrison!) will anchor the first part of the call with
his thoughts on Open
Space as a tool for sustainability. You can come and go as you wish - but
this seems a good
opportunity to broaden the Partnership's emerging conversation about a key
role for Open Space in
the remaining 9 years of the UN Decade.

"Never doubt that a group of committed citizens can change the world -
indeed, it's the only thing
that can." - Margaret Mead

Doug -- you are working much too hard! Just think of the 5-? Friends,
colleagues, interested parties you know and ask them to be a co-convener.
Rules are: Come. Bring Friends, Add Spirit. Whoever cares will join you and
if nobody cares, maybe you should think twice about going ahead. Or maybe
you need some new friend? Not difficult. And when you get some takers,
supply them with an electronic invitation and invite them to send it to
their own mailing list. Always worked for me. Turn around time can be days
to a few weeks. Longer than that and you probably don't have a "live one."

Chris--

Thanks.

I like your term "invitation support." Could you give an example of how you
have gotten people involved in invitation support?

For the Doers Conference which you mentioned, the process took place over
almost 6 months, too long I think in retrospect. There were two pieces to
it: gathering names of people to invite, which included gathering names of
people who would let us use their names as inviters on the invitations; and
meeting with the people we were inviting. I was not as deliberate about
getting people to help invite, and that seems to be key to what you are
doing, yes?

How have you grown this idea? There is important learning here for all of
us, especially working in communities.

                              :-Doug.
                              What wants to happen in your communities?
