<BR>I haven't been a vocal participant in this open space community, but I'd like
<BR>to take this opportunity to invite you and others interested in open space to
<BR>reflect on the opportunities of online creativity, collaboration and
<BR>communities, and to share your vision and insights here. Unless you request
<BR>otherwise, I'll collect the thoughts that emerge here and share them with
<BR>some of the 1100 creativity consultants and managers from 44 different
<BR>countries who come to CPSI with more experience in creativity than in online
<BR>opportunities. Who knows, maybe I'll also craft an article or two for others
<BR>in the world!</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">
