[OSList] The Triumph of Truth Over Error...Chime in if that's OKAY with YOU? What do you say we raise some SERIOUS money OFFICIALLY training and certifying ALL the GOOD SPIRITS among us mortals to become CERTIFIED OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGISTS???

[Marai Kiele]

Dear Amanda, 

Could you help me understand what for you the difference is between a certification (in the US sense) and an accreditation?

I know there is a cultural difference (years ago I learned from a British colleague that in the UK „certified“ means ‘certified insane’ as you are saying). 

So you use the word „accredited“. I believe in the US they use „certified“ for that very situation. True?
(by the way here is a non-native English speaker from Germany asking).

And I like your quote with your three distinctions.

Marai

> For me there is only one case for certification and that is ‘certified insane’. The rest is an illusion of certainty which is the very antithesis of Open Space at least as I experience it.

> I appreciate your enthusiasm for the business opportunity and for practitioners. I have found that the OSList and the wonderful discussions, which are both challenging and respectful, to be the very best professional development and better than any ‘regulation’ I have experienced in any profession bar none. Wise folks here share and repeat the simplicity of what we do in service of others.
