[OSList] WOSonOS Privacy Guidelines

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Marc,

back in 1996 I received the invitation to use OST (Open Space 
Technology). This gift came from Harrison Owen.

It did not come without strings attached.
A kind of "price", if you like:
I was firmly admonished to share stuff that I learned in the process of 
working with OST.
"Right!", I thought and still think so. To share this stuff has been my 
daily practice since then and I love it.

We are in an ongoing experiment with this technology. The parameters and 
conditions under which this experiment is conducted continuously evolve 
through our communicated experience and learning.

The first 16 events I facilitated in the 12 months after running into 
Harrison confirmed that OST always works when certain prerequisites were 
in place. It keeps on working even more reliably as our learning is spread.
One of the myriad ways of spreading our learning and honing our skills 
in this work are the many varieties of "learning exchanges".
The best know are the
--- WOSonOS moving around the planet
--- regional OSonOS (European Learning Exchanges, for instance)
--- national or local events (in some places they occur or did occur or 
are started again and again in the UK, Basque Region, German language 
region Austria-Germany-Switzerland and many other places)
--- local exchanges and not to forget
--- Stammtische (the next one in Berlin is just a few days away, Monday, 
November 4 at 7pm at this location

As far as sharing of proceedings of our own events (we is the sponsors) 
the present practice can be seen here
> https://openspaceworld.org/wp2/osonos/
Not only can you see the dates, places and conveners for each of the 26 
WOSonoses listed there (the 27th of this year has not been posted yet, 
its all selforganizing, nothing gets in there except stuff that someone 
puts there) but also proceedings, such as the for the  18th in Berlin in 
2010
> https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1771-wosonos-proceedings-pdf.pdf
and also for the Action Planing
> https://openspaceworldscape.org/assets/1770-wosonos-action-planning-pdf.pdf
Although this took place almost a decade ago, the pdf documents had a 
navigation built in... you can reach the individual documents by 
clicking on the items in the sidebar.

The proceedings for the Florida WOSonOS in 2013 are an example of a 
fancy set with pictures and stuff typed up and a list of participants 
with names, email addresses and places folks came from (if things went 
correctly, the photos and address stuff could be there only if everyone 
agreed to that).

For proceedings of events we facilitate there are other modalities. What 
happens to the proceedings is in the hands and responsibility of the 
sponsors of events.
Nevertheless, there is a data base that lists about 834 events that have 
taken place around the planet... mostly its the Title, length of event, 
dates, number of pariticpants, www of the sponsor, locations, names of 
facilitators, Assistants and Team, Language used, tags... but not 
proceedings.
Here are a couple of examples

> https://openspaceworldscape.org/events/813-novartis-2006-novartis-to-firma-w-kt-rej-wszyscy-najlepsi-chcieliby-pracowa-a-ci-co-w-niej-pracuj-to-nie-chc-z-niej-odej-co-zrobili-my-w-latach-2004-2005-aby-to-osiagn


As far as poems are concerned: There used to be an annual competition 
for the finest poems on open space... here is an sample of how that went 
(in fact, the archives of our list are a real treasure chest for almost 
any angle of our learning), inlcuding a sample of the poems
> https://www.mail-archive.com/oslist@lists.openspacetech.org/msg01649.html

and a sample, authored by Ralph Copleman
"Dare to Facilitate Open Space!

Against best counsel,
Dare engagingly,
Facilitate!
Get help in just knowing Love matters!
Now Open-positively-quite-remarkable-Space today!
Undo victimhood,
Wildly x-perience your zest!

That's it."

...

cheers

> Will you give me some guidance on conventions on sharing Proceedings from WOSonOS outside this group. Is it appropriate to, for example, blog the beautiful found poem of our final check-out in Sunday’s closing circle? Is it appropriate to share Proceedings pages among folks who have an interest in OST facilitation or an interest in a particular domain that we discussed supporting through Open Space?
