my second space in istanbul

[Chris Weaver]

Funda, I'm interested too in conveying the technical information very
clearly.

This spring I tried something new, which was to provide a written "list of
terms" on the back of the handout for the schedule of the day.  The list
provided simple definitions for words like Convener, Agenda Wall, Space-Time
Matrix, Marketplace, News Wall, etc.  People browsed the list along with the
schedule as they were settling in.  I explained these terms in the opening
flow same as usual (I didn't read from the list or say, "now look at your
papers everyone!"); the list seemed to me like a simple background way to
honor some people's learning styles without interfering with the process
(similar to having the principles and law up on a poster in addition to
conveying them verbally).  The feedback I received from participants was
that the opening explanation was "very clear" or "clearer than they had ever
heard," so it appears to me that this worked well.

I am right with you Harrison about not taking any questions, and after
"stepping out of the way" to then fully embody the reality that the meeting
belongs to the participants.
