background-color:>Hello Michael and Chris and Ted,
<P>thank you so much for the new site! For someone not as "fish in the water of
wiki" this is really much more pleasant to use ~ and I feel much more
comfortable recommending it to others, new to OST.</P>
<P>One question regarding the "Institutes": I saw two links under the headline
of OS Institutes Germany which for me don't represent an OS Institute in
the way I understand it exists in other countries ~ but more two individual
open space facilitators. What is the intention behind the "Institutes page"? I
would prefer if there was a differentiation between "OS Institutes" working to
support OST on a national or international level and individual
links.</P>
<P>But that is of course just my opinion.</P>
<P>Warm regards and again: H U R R A Y !!!</P>
<P>Marei</P>
