All,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

class=078353020-14062005>Apropos to the wonderful thread about the combination
of OST with World Cafe or any other method, Claudia Haack and I, along with a
dedicated design team and a multitude of volunteers, are preparing for the 2005
Girl Scout National Convention. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN class=078353020-14062005>On
October 7, Claudia and I will open the space for up to 2,000 National Council
Delegates around the topic of governance. And for the other 10,000 or so
convention participants, "Strategy Cafes" will be open for business throughout
the 3 day convention. In this case, it's not so much a blend of the
methods, but rather using two different methods for two different
purposes. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005>Regarding the Open Space, we are at the stage where we
need to finalize some of the physical/logistics plans that will involve
the convention center and we have a few questions about what you would
do (or have done for those of you who have facilitated really large
events).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005>~ With a group this size, is there anything you
would do to expedite the marketplace? There will be 3 session times
available. We open the space at 8:30. The first breakout session
begins at 10:15 or whenever it starts.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005>~ What is your guess for how long the marketplace
will take? Harrison, you just said - <FONT face=Arial
color=#000000>From a standing start -- just sitting in a circle -- to active
engagement in something like 15-20 minutes. People rushing to the center of the
circle to announce their issues, and everybody else listening hard and figuring
out what additional issues need to be raised in order to meet their own
needs. That burst of activity might last 30-40 minutes, followed by another 20
minutes of total ordered chaos in the Market place -- and it is off to work
-- usually with sufficient time for a cup of coffee, restroom break, or phone
call. <FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080>Did you, Michael
Pannwitz and company find this timing to hold in the Germany 2,000 person
event?</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005>~ We have the capability to hang one large screen
on the same side of the room as the marketplace wall. Do you
see any value in projecting the session topics & times on this
screen (as was done in Phx, Harrison)?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN class=078353020-14062005>~
Because the physical distances in this convention center are so vast, it isn't
feasible for most people to travel from the breakouts, back to the plenary room
to input their reports. So far, it looks like we have spotty wireless
capabilities. Any suggestions about how and where to place the
computers?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
