<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN
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
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<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

<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
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SPAN class=078353020-14062005>Based on my
experience in Bogota, people pace themselves. They know there are lots
of people wanting to announce. We envisioned using about 4 aisles for
people to wait in line to announce and four aisles to lead to the bulletin
board. In practice, because there were no chairs, aisles weren't
necessary. Might be for you.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SPAN
class=078353020-14062005></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SPAN class=078353020-14062005>Also, making
a wall for each time period made it easy to spread out the postings and made
it clear what was happening at each time.</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><FONT color=#000000>In Bogota, it took about 40
minutes to announce about 320 sessions.</FONT> <FONT
color=#000000>That's about 7.5 seconds per session. Amazing but
true.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#008080><SPAN

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>~ 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>

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"><SPAN class=078353020-14062005>One
possibility is to create multiple small clusters of computers? Anothe
possibility is to put them in the breakout rooms, but that's a lot of
computers.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
