> Hi Paul

> Good questions and great responses, all based on experience.    So, it is
> true that "experience is the best teacher" and "experience is what you get
> just after you need it."
>
> So my comments would be as follow:
>
> 1. If you only have nine people who want to do their first open space,
> JUST DO IT!
>
> 2. Your small group may lead to a larger event in the organisation,
> because you might create nine process champions.  The word will leak out,
> as Harrison loves to say, around the Company's water cooler.
>
> 3. Please be sure to remind the conveners that, if nobody shows up to
> discuss their issue, they are free to work on it alone and post the results
> on the Community Wall or join another group.   If nobody comes, maybe their
> issue had poor timing, because people were not ready to discuss it or, if
> tabled, it might be considered at a later date.   I have facilitated events
> where a solo write up comprising three recommendations to the Community
> became a priority when a vote was taken and nobody knew how many people
> were involved.
>
> 4. During the closing circle, you might ask one or two things:  First, how
> would the nine go about implementing their recommendations which could lead
> to the realisation that a larger event is needed (and, as other people
> suggested, they could become the planning team for it?)  Second, what would
> an open space on the same general theme look like if all the people in the
> department, subsidiary or company were invited?  Either question should
> plant a seed for the future.
>
> Cheers
