Open Futures is pleased to announce the award of the first contract<br>

will<br>
facilitate an Open Space event with the Social Inclusion, Housing
and<br>
Voluntary Sector Committee and 120 people on March 3, 2001 in

Congratulations to you!!! Please let us all know how it turns out, and
particularly any special learnings you may have arrived at during the
course of this wonderful adventure. One of my personal hopes for Open
Space is that find a happy home in the political process -- whether that
be on the formal side of things (as with your projected application) or
on the informal side. Creating the conditions for an ongoing Civil
Conversation (not to be confused with nice and polite) seems to me to be
essential if the 6 billion of us on Planet Earth are to get along
together in some useful way.<br>
<br>
And please -- Have a splendid holiday season.<br>
