<DIV>giving north american participants a year without jetlag? <grin>
</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I reckognise my own thoughts here... but still
the idea kept its power to get sent around... lets look, how it behaves
further... maybe some good suggestions pop up from western
hemisphere...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>if we really are going to do long-term planning, i'll mention again the
potential for running 2-4 osonos events simultaneously, spread somewhat evenly
around the globe, posting and cross-pollinating via the same online
proceedings space. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it sounds good. can we try it out in some extent
already this year? perhaps not everybody succeeds to get to swenmark, but
something could be tried out for future...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>this is excellent and wonderful invitation,
making mind to move towards India! And it's great to think already now about
what happens next year... Reading this an idea popped into mind - what about
having the 13th OSonOS in Estonia? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Friends in Open Space,
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Malay and I have
been reliving a moment at the OSonOSinOZ, when we stood in a
Circle with Harrison and Peggy and knew in our hearts that the
12th OSonOS the event would come full circle in
<ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE> in 2004. And we said ‘Yes’.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana><FONT size=2>We are now
ready to extend to the OS Community our invitation to hold the
12<SUP>th</SUP> OSonOS in <ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE>, on the west
coast of
<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>India</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>.<SPAN>
</SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>The choice of
<ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE> seems ‘natural’ in many
ways:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal align=left><FONT face=Verdana><FONT
size=2><O:P></O:P>I understand that the name ‘Open Space
Technology’ was inspired on Goan soil. <SPAN></SPAN>(Harrison and
Mahesh could tell us more)</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana><FONT
size=2><SPAN></SPAN><SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana><FONT
size=2><ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE> is a
<ST1:PLACE><ST1:PLACETYPE>land</ST1:PLACETYPE> of
<ST1:PLACENAME>Open Spaces</ST1:PLACENAME></ST1:PLACE>: endless
expanses of perfumed red earth and emerald trees surrounded by
white and gold stretches of sand, along the pearly white waters of
the <ST1:PLACE>Arabian Sea</ST1:PLACE>.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>The people of Goa
are characteristically ‘OPEN : in Mind and Heart and Soul -- OPEN
to welcoming guests, (their hospitality is legendary)
<SPAN></SPAN>to the Arts (great musicians, singers, painters, folk
dancers and chefs) to the Spiritual -- Temples and Churches dot
the landscape, -- reminders of<SPAN> </SPAN>the Portuguese who
surrendered the island to India in 1961. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Should we decide
that <ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE> is the place I have the following
recommendation on the dates </FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana><FONT size=2>Between
26<SUP>th</SUP> Sept to 10th October. <SPAN></SPAN>2004.
<SUP><O:P></O:P></SUP></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><SUP><SPAN></SPAN></SUP></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Reasons:
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>This is a time
between seasons : the Monsoon will have just ended, to make way
for the hot sunshine of October, before the relative cool of
‘winter’ sets in. In this in-between time, (not too wet, not too
hot, not too cool) Hotels will be able to give us lower rates and
traveling will be easier. (Chartered flights start arriving in
<ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE> from
<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>UK</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>,
US and other parts of <ST1:PLACE>Europe</ST1:PLACE>, from November
to February.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>It would be a good
idea to take this opportunity to visit other interesting places in
<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>India</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>.
If this is<SPAN> </SPAN>planned just prior to the Goa event, one
could avail of the extremely low Monsoon ‘Packages’ offered by
Resorts across the country, usually valid till Sept
30<SUP>th</SUP>.<SPAN> </SPAN>(As we go along I could send you the
information you need, on this.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Please let us know
how you feel about this invitation and the dates. It might seem a
bit early in the day to think of <ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE>, while
you are packing your bags for
<ST1:COUNTRY-REGION><ST1:PLACE>Denmark</ST1:PLACE></ST1:COUNTRY-REGION>.
We’ve done a bit of spade work, and the earlier we can firm up the
dates, (assuming it is <ST1:PLACE>Goa</ST1:PLACE>) the better the
‘deals’ we can negotiate.<SPAN> </SPAN>Also we know that many of
you need to set your calendars over a year in advance.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>There are so many
ideas buzzing to help make this a magnificent Celebration of the
Spirit of Open Space—come full Circle.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana
size=2><O:P></O:P></FONT></DIV>
<DIV class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2>Please say
“YES”.<SPAN> </SPAN>We are waiting to welcome you with OPEN ARMS.
</FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=2>And can hardly wait
…..</FONT></DIV>
