conversation. I will post up proceedings once all the reports are
in. How I handled the dual role of host and facilitator; Once
people were seated in the circle, I introduced myself as
sponsor/host. I thanked all for responding to the invitation, and in
1 minute gave the background to the topic - how it came about.
I wished them a useful and good day and said I would now hand
over to the facilitator. I left the room, took off an item of clothing (a
vest) and came back as the Facilitator and said "Welcome to Open Space". I
was the facilitator for the remainder of the day. They got it. I
stayed true. It worked well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
