[OSList] No-Go-area's as OS facilitators

[Kári Gunnarsson]

Dear Gijs and others on the list

I like to explore this topic theme a bit more closely.  I have been
learning so much for the past few years that I have been practicing
the open space. I like to know your examples, your thoughts and
experiences?

An introductory questions on No-Go-area's:

At one time I was hosting an open space and I happened to join a group
discussion on the topic witch was close to my hart and I shared some
of my hopes and experiences for I was there with the passion to to
that and the small group had a interesting topic. Now I feel like this
is something I should not have done, that I took some space instead of
holding it or others that where there to do something about the issues
at hand. What are your thoughts and experiences?

With love from Iceland
Kári
