[OSList] Okay...Forget Certification then...How about Co-Creating a NEW OST ASSOCIATION? Such as...THE International Association for Peace and Human Understanding...?

[paul levy]

Twenty years ago when I needed to earn some money fast I remember
considering offering a day's training in OST.

I quickly decided against.

In fact the decision made itself.

For me, offering training in OST is like taking a day to train someone in
how to drink fresh water.
