<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Wendy & Fredr'c</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>my collegue and me, we sometimes do a change even
in going around the circle. one of us starts, another when saying:"Well, my
partner will tell you about the principals we shall work now, and sometimes a
sort of repeating in other words help participants to understand that there is
really nothing 'to hear' it is time to 'work'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>then again the first one shows the way of posting
topics and the other helps people if nessassary to organize the bulletin
board</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>we change our roles in let's say depending 'whos'
OS is that - who was invited to do OS will play the main role... but it is not
nessassary, we usuall agree - would you mind to start... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or I can say that I would like to start today - I
prepared the 'throne' speach for this ocasion (I mean, that I say some words
about not only the wise person gathering here and so on, but for example for
Civil Forum preparation I said: Civil Society starts with us, here and
now...)...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and you (my partner) will say 4 principals and Law
and 'the bumblebees and buterflies'...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and we often record on audio AND on video the
reports, if there are some nessassity for this and time or just the closing
session and type it together with the reports in our Report (A book of
proceedings and closing session) but this takes usually just somebody on
video... and the other - just watching as recorder is passing along the circle
clock-wise turn, together or instead of microfone...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on this last one OS my partner wanted to post a
topic, which she did, and it was ok for the situation, as we were all in 'search
for civil society'...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think and hope that it doesn't confuse people and
they can ask both of us, when needed any question and probably they are already
used that often we are doing a lot of work together, though we do a lot
separately...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>best wishes</FONT></DIV>

facilitators</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We have learned much from you all since we joined
the List almost a year ago. "We" are Wendy & Fredr'c, partners in
"Homegrown Wisdom" here in Nova Scotia, Canada. We have organized small
meetings using an outside facilitator to open space. One of us has had the
experience of opening space for a small group. We are now about to open space
for a larger gathering. All of our other experiences have been with one
facilitator opening the space. We usually work as a team and we are wondering
if anyone of you has ever opened space using two facilitators. What was your
experience? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks in advance.</FONT></DIV>
