[OSList] FW: Visual Icons for the 4 Principles & 1 Law

[Harold Shinsato]

Harrison,

Thanks for the reminder. I can't believe I forgot that section of the 
Open Space Users Guide. Fascinating! I like the addition of the 
Community/Leadership/Vision/Management. But I think Michael is right - 
"Whatever happens" seems to be south and community. Community does seem 
to be a lot about "it happens" doesn't it? And Vision and the East fits 
a lot more easily to me about beginnings, "Whenever it starts".
