[OSList] What to do when a conflicted and important part is missing?

After the second Open Space (this one 4 hours one) in the small
self-managed village (some messages before on this list, under " How do we
invite key and high conflicted people?" subject), a main question remains
inside me.

What would you do if a conflicted and important part of the community is
missing and has no intention to join & the promotors seem unable to invite
properly? #InvitationProcess<https://twitter.com/#%21/search?q=%23InvitationProcess>

Some weeks ago we had an Open Space on the ways to include everybody´s
opinions in the decissions of the small town. A big part of the villagers
said in advance that they would no way come. They feel very hurted about
some quarrels last years in the council commitees,...

The "other side" (the own in power, the majority and the promotors of these
events) is also very hurted.

The invitation process should be in this case, I think, very long, patient,
cautious, loving,... and they don´t seem to be able to do the job now.

Does it make any sense to do another OS with this feeling of impotence?

Should we try some conflict resolution before inviting for another OS?

Or maybe such an invitation process (very long, patient, cautious,
loving,...) and a long 1´5 or 2´5 day OS would be the good "cure"?

Should the facilitator lead the invitation process, in an additional
mediator role?

I´m quite lost in the process, letting go, and present all the time, with
this duty on the back of my mind,...

Enjoy life!
