<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A few weeks ago I passed on a message from Pablo
Restrepo, who is planning an OS on a </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>renewed
negotiation process in Colombia.<BR>His sponsors have received the idea
favorably and so they continue to plan.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 2 questions for the list, one very broad,
the other very practical.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The broad question is what are we
learning about Open Space in highly conflicted, violent settings that can
increase the likelihood of success?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The practical question is in Pablo's
words: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Verdana size=3>One concern we had is
whether it is really necessary that they speak Spanish, some think that with one
of us as a co facilitator this is not needed. What are your thoughts on
this? </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Verdana></FONT></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Any help on either of these
questions would be most appreciated.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
