Open space applied to sustainability projects? OST in Cyber space?

[Brett Barndt]

We're doing our survey interviews on this project, and it came up that in
many communities, it is hard to get residents to come to public events.
Rather they suggest we have cyber-space formats online access to the OS for
asynchronous participation.

Does any one have any experiences with this kind of thing? Would be very
interesting to include that in our survey.

I am working on a survey for NYC Accelerator for Cleantech and Renewable
Energy. We'd like to speak to anyone who has applied OST to sustainability
projects in communities, municipalities, regions.

Our focus is to understand how OST can improve engagement and design process
for sustainability development or technology projects as well as mitigate
political and delay risks for financiers of these projects.

Our finds have the potential to open up more liquidity for investment in
locally sponsored revenue or carbon credit generating sustainability
projects by better managing costs and delay or political risks of doing
small locally based deals.

We're interviewing players at every step of the value chain from design
through project developers in solar, wind, tidal, geo-thermal, micro-grid,
permaculture, waste/discards, water, brown fields re-development, de-paving,
community agriculture to financing, construction, and management.

Please let me know if you have any knowledge of OST applied to projects like
these. We really look forward to talking to you about it. We'll share our
findings results with our survey participants.

Best regards,
Brett Barndt
