<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Joelle -- skipping the sign-up at the wall may reduce some
of the chaos -- but CHAOS at that point is good, I think. Just having that great
BUZZZZ is a wonderful expression of the energy. If you have a long enough wall,
everything works out in my experience. People may not come all at once -- and
that is good too. Beginning to learn the power of the Law of Two Feet. So I
always do the sign up at the wall. That also seems to get a lot of side
(butterfly) conversations going, and all sorts of deals about time changes and
combination. Love the Chaos!</FONT></DIV>

size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">Christine--<BR><BR>From my experience as a
participant in an Open Space of 700 or 800, I would endorse Lisa's suggestion
to skip the sign-up at the wall. It was hard to get close enough to the
wall posters to read or write. The large screen will help with the
reading, so it will not be necessary for everyone to get to the wall at the
start.<BR><BR>It also takes extra time for people to go from one session to
the next, just because of the distance.<BR><BR>This will be a very exciting
meeting--I worked a year with a local Girl Scout council, and loved the energy
and their commitment to having everyone actively involved.<BR><BR>Best of
luck--<BR><BR>Joelle<BR><BR><BR></FONT><FONT face=Geneva color=#000000 size=2
