It seems to make a real difference whether someone
"declares a topic"
sitting at her computer or someone
"announces an issue"
getting up from sitting in a circle of people and venturing into the
void in the center.
No´matter what has taken place before the event
all issues are (re)introduced at the beginning of the open space.
I sort of imagine that transforms topics into issues
(in German: Themen zu Anliegen).

This is a wonderful question at the beginning of the year!
Greetings from Berlin just about to take off for a week of vacation with
a bunch of grandchildren...
