The subject of convergence comes up pretty regularly on the OSList, so I'm sure you can find plenty of discussion in the archives.<BR>

I used an abbreviated version of the "non-convergence" approach (reopening the space for action planning) in a very brief Open Space meeting, just a couple of hours. The group self-organized to address all the topics, then we reopened the space for action plans. It was close to our stated closing time when we reconvened in the circle, but participants took the time to announce proposed actions AND express their feelings about the process. And no one made a move to leave, or even showed signs of restlessness. They were delighted to have a chance to speak up about the subject, and very excited to have some concrete plans after a short meeting.<BR>
