Mixing action planning and

[Beverley Neff]

Hi folks,

With the help of a good team, I am hosting and facilitating a day and a 
half OS next weekend here in my own community. (Send your prayers!) The 
theme is "Living Together on Saturna Island: Issues and Opportunities". 
I am expecting about 40-50 people. Saturna has about 300 residents, 
even more part time residents.

Saturday is a full day with three breakout session. Sunday is a half 
day, with distribution of the Book of Proceedings, reopening for action 
planning (one session) and then a closing circle.

Sunday we meet from 9 AM to 2 PM. And here is my dilemma: I love the 
idea of the Book of Proceedings on each chair when people come in early 
for coffee. And yet I still want to ask if there are any other topics 
that have come up after a night's sleep. If so, we could have one more 
time slot for breakout sessions before we reopen for action planning 
and one shorter session for immediate next steps, followed by a 
half-hour lunch break and closing circle.

If there are no further topics, then we'd have the option of going 
right into non-convergence and finishing early. Nobody would mind that!

What do you think? Should I include that first Sunday time-slot in the 
time/space matrix on Saturday or just offer it on Sunday? Should I drop 
the whole idea?

Any feedback will be deeply appreciated by this relative newbie to 
facilitating OS.

Many thanks for being there!
