[OSList] Yukking it up in the center of the circle

[Suzanne Daigle]

No hard and fast rules for me on this. I play it by ear.

At times alone, at times others take the lead handing over the microphone,
at times two or three mikes at play.

Depends on the client, the group and whatever feels right in the moment.

What's important is that the contagious energy force of people writing
their topics have the opportunity to flow. I appreciate that Open Space
can be quite jarring for people who are invited and experience Open Space
for the first time. The contrast self-management and self-organizing is
quite great for many living command control, predictability and hierarchy.
Holding the mike (or not) is an act of service that gently introduces
people to an amazing way of interesting.

However once the marketplace wall is created, I totally get out of the way.

Lately I just (at the end of the beginning) place the mic in the center of
the circle real slow and then vacate.

Is walking away a productive act? Is it better to stay in the center?

If so why? If not why not?

Is vacating bad form?
