[OSList] how to organize record of proceedings in a 3h1/2 OST format ?

[Harrison Owen]

Christine – 3 ½ Hours is short indeed, but I wouldn’t have a special time
for typing. As you say, that will break the flow and reduce the time
available in the closing circle. But there is another reason which is quite
practical. The simple fact of the matter is that only a very small
percentage of the group will be writing reports – and what are the rest
supposed to do? I think if you just handle reports the way we always do

Tell folks to write them when they can and you will find, I think, that the
conveners will honor their commitments even if they have to miss a session.
Of course you will have the problem you always have – what to do about the
last session?? So for that, and just to give yourself a safety margin, I
would offer a common email address to which Reports can be sent, and be sure
to give a cut-off day/time. Should have no problems.

Hi dear OS community

I'll be facilitating soon a short OS event of about 3h1/2, at the end of a 2
days conference for women involved in politics.
The host insists on having typed proceedings, because she expects the OS
part to boost empowerment in participants and encourage them to be more and
more professional in their involvement (and stay in politics in spite of all
kind of troubles women face in this kind of career.).

In the beginning she was thinking of having staff type reports but I
discouraged her and she agreed to it. So we will have computers to type
reports . Reports will be typed by participants themselves.

However I never organized typed reports within such a short event so I would
appreciate your advices and experiences.
Right now I suggested 2 rounds of one-hour-session then a break of 1/2h in
order to type reports then closing circle. But that makes the break quite
late in the afternoon and just before the closing circle: this doesn't feel
optimal.

What would you suggest ? 

Christine
