[OSList] Small group OS

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Paul,
in my experience it does work, I have facilitated several.
The tendency for the whole group to go to a particular session is larger 
than in a large event but there are often many small or even very small 
groups, or groups of one. So the dynamic is basically the same albeit 
more intense.

However, these requests for an OST event with a small group almost 
always end up being much larger after a planning meeting with the 
sponsor (in this case, all nine could constitute the planning group).
Basicall, in the Planning Meeting three major questions are answered:
1. What are our expectations regarding the outcome of the OST event?
2. What should be the heading for the event in light of our expectations?
3. Who should be invited to the event in light of our expectations and 
the title of our event?

So, I would encourage you to have a traditional planning meeting.

Greetings from Berlin
