Dear Harrison,
A different perspective, in this case mine, is that we really honor Open
Space Technology as an important meeting facilitation method, and that we
are good stewards for its integrity (wholeness). This would mean that we
preserve it in its original form for generations to come for their use and
thereby a tool for the ongoing life nurturing shifts for humanity. Why would
you want to advocate distilling this down to something that blends into
disappearance when it is such a valuable tool?

I love it! Confusion!! Reminds me of days long ago when I had a newsletter
called "TWG Newsletter" In fact the letters stood for absolutely nothing at
all - leading my friend Peter Vaill to muse that since they didn't mean
anything in particular, everybody was free to supply their own meanings. His
offerings: "Those Who Grock," "Transformation Without Gurus" - and a few
more I can't recall. This lead to sort of a contest with the latest
offerings appearing in the "TWG News" (of course.) Actually, the simple
solution to all of this is to recognize that it is all Open Space, call it
whatever you like. Perhaps the best option is to call it nothing at all, in
which case it (by whatever name) would simply disappear in a cloud of
everydayness. Wonderful..

Hi Artur
Interesting indeed.
Though my first emotional reaction was: being embarrassed (because they have
"stolen" the OST Acronym;-)
