It's a small world...<br>
<br>
There was talk about using OST at the 2003 Congress which was held in
Australia, and naturally I told them to contact me if they needed the
names of facilitators there, but I never heard back from them. <br>
<br>
Feel free to share my paper with Angela...her organization paid me for it after all!<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

IFOAM is very interesting for me, an IFOAM Activist since 1977 and
current board member of the IFOAM Organic Trade Forum. As such I
facilitated an Organic World Café on the eve of last BioFach, the
World's Organic Trade Show in Nuremberg, Germany, but no report has
been finished. Now we are just starting to think about an event
for the eve of next BioFach in Feb, 2006. <br>
Just 3 days ago I met the new IFOAM Executive Director Angela B. Caudle
and told her about OST and COSO and she is very interested. Until your
notice I had no idea, that anything like an OST had ever been done in
IFOAM circles... <br>

Hi there:<br>
<br>
I have a couple of stories I could tell, but I have actually written one up as a case study.<br>
<br>
It's a reflection on the use of OST within the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements congress held in 2002.<br>
<br>
You're welcome to use it. It's a .pdf at downloadable here: <a href="http://www.chriscorrigan.com/papers/ifoamreport.pdf" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.chriscorrigan.com/papers/ifoamreport.pdf

<br>
If you have trouble downloading it, let me know and I'll email it along.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Chris<br>

suggest you take a look at the invitation for the Seattle area Practice
of Peace as you think about an OS conference. I think we used a
model that will eventually be used at professional/expertise
conferences. I know it might seem like the PoP is not a
business/expertise kind of event but I am just inviting you to think
about new models for OS conferences. Just think. <br>
<br>
We invited about a dozen experts. Experts, I should say, in terms
of our event, which was using open space in conflict areas around the
world. We published brief bios about all of our 'experts', who we
called 'invited guests'. Harrison Owen was one invited
guests. If someone reading our invitation was interested in
hearing more about what Harrison Owen thinks, they would know that HO
would be one of the people circulating at our conference, that maybe HO
would convene sessions and that there very well might be opportunities
for butterfly conversations with Harrison. I use HO's name to be
illustrative. <br>
<br>
Imagine you are a software executive and you have long admired Bob
Guru's thinking for years. Yes, you might sign up to attend a
conference where Bob Guru will be making a powerpoint
presentation. But wouldn't you also be attracted to a three day
OS where you knew Bob Guru would be hanging around and doing what the
law of mobility was inviting him to do? He might convene a
session the software exec could attend. . . or maybe Bob Guru would
attend a session that software exec also attended. Or Bob Guru
and software exec might find themselves in a small flutter of
butterflies having a conversation that shifts software exec's thinking
about his next software launch. <br>
<br>
Putting a bunch of amazing experts/invited guests in the same meeting
facility as a bunch of professionals that are seeking to grow their
professional lives should be the ideal way to hold professional/expert
conferences. <br>
<br>
Isn't everyone tired of signing up for breakouts and sitting in a row
of chairs and listening to a talking head drone on about a topic that
the talking head created a year ago. . . but-the-one-year-old-topic is
no longer what is really up for the talking head so his talk has no
passion. <br>
<br>
I know I'm speaking a bit to the choir about OS on this list but I
think the invited experts and a full-total-complete OS conference is
where all the leading visionary conferences organizers should be headed.<br>
<br>
This note is choppy and my thoughts not well developed. I am running late this morning.<br>
