<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And so I did. The image in my mind transformed from an awkward,
two-level fan shape to a circle that will be perfect for opening the space for
300 attendees. Your assurances have greatly relieved our clients, as well
as Christine and myself.</DIV>

<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
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>

I 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>
