<FONT SIZE="5"><FONT FACE="Optima, Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:20.0px'>First, I like the short statement on OST.<BR>
<BR>
I’ve started to do brief descriptions framed around questions rather than statements. This is especially elegant in describing OS where the media of inquiry becomes the message of authentic engagement in community. For OS, it would be something like: <I>Do you like to be in conversations in this community where you feel alive, inspired, connected, surprised, engaged, and empowered? Well, that’s what happens in open space.<BR>
