</SPAN><SPAN class=GramE>who</SPAN> spoke of a great OS in a room filled

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">And I
myself had an experience with a room that was actually not a meeting
room but an exhibit hallway, l-o-n-g and narrow.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And when I put chairs in sort of
an arc facing a wall (with many ‘concentric’ rows out to the sides) the
fire marshals came in and said that all my chairs had to be locked
together.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">In
each of these cases, the Open Space went beautifully. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I am sure in all our cases we
‘fought’ like crazy to get a better room, but these were the rooms we
were given.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And so I’m sure
that in each of our cases we thought very carefully about the design,
and adjusted in the most creative ways, and carried intention and
vision, and imagined and indicated a circle even when there may not have
been one (it helps to put the signs all around the room and to indicate
them as you explain principles and law to further the circle feeling
even in a long space, I have found). <SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: 'Trebuchet MS'">And
in each of these cases, people got themselves to the location that was
created for them to write and announce their topics, they got to
wherever the agenda wall was set up to post their topics, and they held
their discussions all around the room – amazingly, clustering up in
little circles even in locked-down chairs – it’s a natural way to
converse, in circles.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Trebuchet MS" color=black size=2><SPAN

say just do all the things you know to do, think of the best way
possible to use the space you have, and then enjoy all that Open
Space…<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
