[OSList] Urgency criterion?

[Birgitt Williams]

Hi Jake,
I agree with Barry about the word urgency and it being subject to
interpretation.

When I read your question, my thoughts took me to an Open Space Technology
meeting sponsored by Fast Company magazine. The theme we went with was
'issues and opportunities to create the life you love'. Tickets were sold
limiting attendance to the first 150 people. The tickets were sold out
within 24 hours of being announced. The OST meeting was a success.

My question to you is whether this theme was based on urgency? One could
say it is not, or one could say it is.

in genuine contact,
Birgitt
