Open Space and political parties

[Diane Gibeault]

Hi Carol,

I know someone in Quebec who used OST with her support team as a way of running her election campaign and was delighted with the outcome. She also interested a national political party in considering OS for a policy meeting. I'll send her your message.

>> I have been approached by a political party to use open space in their policy development process both inside the party and with the general public.  If anyone has any experience with this and any wisdom to share it would be appreciated.  I have always wanted to use OS in this kind of environment.  Has anyone done work of this nature and if so is there any advice?
