Joelle,

Just a quick 'thank you' for your input.  A lot of
your comments resonated with me.  I am at the early
stages of the proposal, and would expect to go and
listen. work through and arrive at a theme - but it
was just great to see it written

I will keep you posted!

Kind regards,

Anne

Dear Carla

Thanks for your answer, I love that way of converging as well, but this =
time
I don=B4t think it will be ripe to do that. To my judgement the theme is =
too
wide and the time too little, so we will think about other ways to go on
afterwards =96 maybe more OST-meetings or online as they are normally =
spread
out all over Sweden. Or they may go for more time for the actual =
OS-meeting
=96 we=B4ll see that in our planning-meeting. But as I see the =
circumstances
now, this seems like a good way.

=20

Thanks also to Harrison =96 of course I=B4ve looked it up in =93the =
book=94!
Remembered it was there.

Best regards

Thomas

Dear Thomas

=20

After a very busy time, I am back here on the list.=20

=20

I remeber I had a same question some years ago. I learned from the list, =
I
think it was Michael Pannewitz, a quite other way to vote. I used it =
ever
aftherwards. It is very simple; just open space again and ask who wants =
to
bring one of the subjects (early mentioned) one step further. It is =
simple
and I think more inline with the proces of Open space than te stickie
voting.=20

=20

wishing you succes with the Open Space meeting

=20

warm regards=20

Subject: voting - after coming home from an OST-meeting

Dear friends in Open Space      =20

I am having discussions with a friend of mine who runs a company which =
does
surveys for companies in a quite interesting and easy way =96 by using
Internet. In September I will facilitate an OST-meeting with about 350
people =96 only 5-6 hours. I would like to try letting the participants =
have
the documentation sent and allowing time for reading before voting on =
which
are most important to them.=20

=20

A couple of times I=B4ve let participants answer via email =96 which of =
course
is a lot of work. So in order to do one less thing I=B4d like to try =
this
software which we very easily can modify to meet our needs.

=20

My question is: What recommendations/ideas do you have for the voting. =
When
I use stickies in physical voting (which I=B4ve done with quite large =
groups)
I usually give them something like 5 votes to use as they like =96 all =
five on
one issue or spread out. This could be one alternative for this software
too. I know some of you let people put 10 votes on the top one, 9 on the
second most important and so on until 1.=20

=20

So I would appreciate pros and cons that you see/have experienced about
these methods and any other suggestions.

Warmest regards

runs a

– by using Internet. In September I will facilitate an OST-meeting =

about 350 people – only 5-6 hours. I would like to try letting the

voting on which are most important to them. =

the voting. When I use stickies in physical voting (which I=B4ve done =
with quite
large groups) I usually give them something like 5 votes to use as they =

– all five on one issue or spread out. This could be one =
alternative for
this software too. I know some of you let people put 10 votes on the top =
one, 9
