[OSList] Sticky dots Q

[Koos de Heer]

Hi Tricia,

I stopped using sticky dot voting in Open Space sessions years ago.

In the beginning, the agenda process is perfect and does not need any
voting.

During the Open Space, if a topic needs more time, people will decide they
are not ready and continue to do what needs to be done.

In the end, when it comes to action planning, I find it much more elegant to
reopen the space for action planning topics.

So trust the process, trust the people and trust yourself. Take a deep
breath and be present and it will roll (and rock). :-)

reminds me that the difference between a brainstorm and an open space agenda
creation is that the latter is based on passion and responsibility.

some items on the brainstorm list may not make it to the open space agenda
wall if the person doesn't actually feel very passionate or responsible
about it after all.

or it may make it to the wall, but then nobody comes to the session, and the
convenor writes a short report to handle it and moves to another topic.
