Doris,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=730065915-19012004><FONT face=Arial>it sounds to me as though
you have had internal discussions (within yourself) of all of the key points of
facilitating an OST meeting as someone that is inside of the system. You have
already concluded that you are not going to take part in the subgroups and it
seems that you have also discussed this with the other sponsors. It sure sounds
to me as though you are very ready.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=730065915-19012004><FONT face=Arial></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=730065915-19012004><FONT face=Arial>People from within the
system facilitate OST meetings on a very regular basis and it works just fine,
so long as they do not participate in the sub-groups but stay to the role of
holding the space for the people to do their work. In the Conscious Open Space
Organizations, it is common for someone from one department to facilitate the
OST meeting of another department. In fact, we encourage that this facilitation
be from within the system rather than hiring external
facilitators.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

week I am going to be doing an Open Space event for 2 days with a group of
people who all took part in the same educational program for trainers and
organizational advisors.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Actually, I too am an “alumna” of this training program and several

sort of “network” opportuntity and a chance to explore what we as participants
of this program carry as a sort of community of practice into the
marketplace.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">

the past year I’ve been focusing on growing in Open Space. I’ve been
interested in it for so long but hadn’t had a chance to work with it. Last
year I made the decision to be open to all opportunities that came to me to
facilitate Open Space and to start talking about it more and more with clients
and others.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I looked at it as a
sort of action learning experience and decided I would take every opportunity
I could to do Open Space events as long as I felt ethically they were okay,
even if it meant that they weren’t “pure” I wanted to find my own way within
this method and perspective.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>

been a very interesting journey so far, but the I’m having questions about
this next OST that I am going to do. Namely, I am now facilitating this OST
while at the same time being one of the organizers and an ex-participant.

have made the decision that my role as facilitator means that I won’t
participate in sub-group activities and I’ve also made an agreement with the
other sponsors that they would be there for me should I need any support and
reflection. This feels good, but I’m still sort of scared about doing
something where I am also very much inside the system that is using the
OST.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>
