style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">Most of us recognize that the
world is in the throes of what can only be described as a highly turbulent set
of changes on a massive scale. On every level – ecologically, socially,
politically, psychologically, and spiritually – we are irretrievably deep into
this change process and there is no turning back. Many liken this change to a
re-birthing process, albeit one the likes of which the world has never seen.
Given our awareness of these changes, we are presented with a choice: we can
take a passive “wait-and-see” attitude and continue to go about our lives as
if things are business as usual. Or, we can collectively choose to guide
ourselves through this re-birthing process toward the most desirable possible
outcome. For those interested in the latter option, you are heartily welcomed
to join a recently formed project called the Global Open Space (GOS)
project.<I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"><o:p></o:p></I></SPAN></P>

by the values of joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, faith, and the honoring
of diversity. The objective of the GOS project is to manifest these values in
much greater abundance than can be currently witnessed in the world today. Our
vision is not Utopian, however. Rather, it is well grounded in action research
that demonstrates the power of co-design and collaborative action. The GOS
combines Internet-mediated communication technologies with collaboration
methodologies that have been demonstrated to be effective in a number of
real-world situations. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

is that positive social change can be fostered by linking multiple regional,

collective vision statement and action plan emerges from their midst.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Rather than an ad-hoc effort
spearheaded by a few well-intentioned individuals, the GOS is a collaborative
effort to harness the collective wisdom of people all around the world by
facilitating the connection of these regional groups in a systemic way.

their efforts. After the regional events, the output statements generated
therein will be shared among the respective regional event conveners at the
