[OSList] OST facilitation technique: too prescriptive?

[Eva P Svensson]

HI all,
When  I remember :-) I use to say something like ”please return to your seat after posting your topic because there may be more topics coming up that will give you ideas of new topics to put up”
And as Thomas said when I sense that the energy for putting up topics is coming to an end I also say that and also ”but we will wait a little bit because maybe there are some people who is preparing themselves for putting up something” And I promise - there is always one or two who step into the circle and announce their topics.
Cheers
:o)
Eva

It can get loud, and sometimes the last few folks do not really get heard.
