<DIV><SPAN class=100100501-19062003><FONT face=Arial>OST always works. No
worries there. However , we cannot guarantee what we cannot guarantee and so I
am concerned that on <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org">www.openspaceworld.org</A> a guarantee is
stated. I know that any OST event that is one day or less cannot guarantee that
"All of the issues that are MOST important to the participants will be raised."
Many times in OST meetings, participants, particularly those who have felt
disempowered, do not get their most important topics up until the morning of day
2 when for some reason they take their power and run with it. We also don't
guarantee a comprehensive report, especially of a one day or shorter event. And
so on.... I believe that we can make the statements of guarantee that are listed
in an event of 2 or more days.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=100100501-19062003><FONT face=Arial>And, whenever Michael gives
the go ahead to add to these read only pages that are like his "givens", I will
offer my viewpoint on that site, which as you know is often an alternative. I
remember in one of the first OSONOS meetings I posted the topic "Harrisy's" with
a play on your name and the word heresy---doing things in a way that isn't how
Harrison does it. I recall that topic to be highly playful and well
attended.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
