that it was necessary to have the participants do the data entry. They retain
ownership of the document, and they go through mental processes while
transcribing, processes that refine the original text, based on comments spoken
at the time but not copied down. The transcriber can do a round of edits, as it
were; something I can't do. Perhaps, presuming I transcribe faithfully, without
my own editorial bias, the group is better off trading the data entry for more
time in discussions?></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

is best for the responsibility for note-taking to be in the hands of the
participants, and for note transcribing.<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
</span>But I have in short Open Spaces in some few instances told the group I
would transcribe their notes for them (I have done this in workshop situations
where I’m giving participants a shorter Open Space experience, for
example).<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span>In this case I make it very
clear that I may not be able to read their handwriting but will do the best I
can – and I make sure that the notes-taker forms include a line to write
*<b><span style='font-weight:bold'>who</span></b>* the notes-taker is (in case
I need to contact them to for example send them a fax of their notes and ask
them what a certain word is).<span style='mso-spacerun:yes'> </span><o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

include conflict or mistrust if the issue is that people don’t take
ownership for their ideas – in those cases I would most certainly have a
longer Open Space which ensures they have time for their own transcribing...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
