[OSList] OSList Digest, Vol 82, Issue 3

[christopher macrae]

 3 comments which may sound contradictory and reveal my own need to action learn
1 harrisons' books eg practice of peace explain that an intention of Open Space is to free people who are all trapped by the same conflict to move beyond it - creating more space than top-down rules  or historiic cultural misunderstanding had previously allowed - this always seems to me to be what is happening provided the facilitator is experienced
2 however what happens when people are no longer together in the space; are actions and post conflict innovations unstoppable?; here what bothers me is that there is no complete database of success stories- or if there is please given us one bookmark; i mean something that is an updating index not just this listing - a "good food guide" review format to open space so to speak
3 i wonder if anyone has experienced deep democracy which i believe was innovated by myrna lewis in south africa- this starts with a somewhat different process purpose ; it aims to identify opposng sides and then get them to debate what  with all their energy but no violence what is  their absolute minimum demands in a proposed solution which will make them unite with the other sides
while 3 sounds a valid idea frankly it puts even more burden of the faciltator (or indeed the spirit of the space) and who actually sponsored the event - the very few deep democracies I have participated in did not have outcomes that i trusted even though I was there more as an observer than one of the interested partners
just my 3 cents worth ; ultimately the catch 22 seems to me to be that unless hehre is already enough community to be the sponsor , the after-the space motivations of the sponoir come back into play- so how one deals with that is what I dont understand?
