Working group

[Allison & Jim Baensch]

Thanks Doug,

It's good to hear other groups have met this way.

How do you manage break out groups on Skype?
I have used Skype a little, but not for Open Space.

Does each break out group need to make another call, using a  
different phone number?
Or does the whole group stay together on the original number?

I'll have a look at the Doodle site.

Allison.
