Thank you, Tree. That answers my question. <br><br>
I didn't mean to imply that the person opening the space would determine
or even suggest the process, but rather the person hosting the
session, that would say they wanted to use a particular process:

<dd>"I have envisioned using OS and <b><i>allowing those that post
topics</i></b> for discussion to <b><i>include the method of
consideration</i></b>. For example, someone might say "I want
to have a conversation cafe on x." or "I want to give a
presentation on the work I am doing to clean up Japhet Creek and then
lead a conversation on how we can do it better." or "I
will give an introductory workshop on nonviolent communication."

As I tried to point out in my last post, it is reasonable for
someone<br>
holding a session during an OS event to use a specific process for<br>
that session. But if you are thinking you have to 'educate'
everyone<br>
about the correct manner for their open space conversations before
you<br>
can trust them to have open space conversations, then I agree with<br>
Wendy's conclusion that you are still thinking you are in
control.</blockquote></body>
