<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR></DIV>Hello Harrison, Michael, Funda,
Nancy, and Everyone,
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>There are many thoughtful ideas here, thank you.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Nancy has an excellent point. I believe the round table with "experts" is
simply a dynamic invitation disguised as an event. The real process is an
experiment in creating worldwide online dialogue using the round
table/expert/media event as a way to draw attention to 600 questions of
importance, while building a digital report of the ongoing
conversation(s).</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>I believe that building on this idea would provide a greater jumping off
point.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>Why not find a question of the 600 that sparks your soul and create an
invitation into Open Space around that invitation, or support the idea of
invitation and conversation, or create your own question, or continue opening
space as you all so beautifully do?</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>How can this meeting be used to create more conversation ~ not
less?</DIV>

<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Dear list,</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">yesterday, I did send the note below to ho who had
not discovered the link and entered my esteemed opinion on this
project.</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Its in the local Berlin paper again today with a
long report on how they are creating two setups, one indoor for rain and one
outdoor for sunny weather...its quite a huge table coated with a very fancy
and expensive material that can also be written on...they have already
approached the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest round table
ever...and I wouldnt be surprised if they cut it up in pieces and auction it
off as they did with other local objects like the Berlin Wall....and, of
course, there is going to be a video where you can see all of them
simultaneously answering questions...</DIV>
<DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px"><BR></DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">To me this is a good example for the paradigm
"Experts solve Problems" (Taylor, Scientific management)which dominated the
art between 1900 and 1950, followed by a phase of "Everybody solves
Problems" (Group Problem Solving, Lewin etc.) which in recent years, under
the influence of Systems Thinking, has been changing since 1965 into
"Experts improve whole systems" and, more recently, with the development of
approaches such as Open Space, Future Search, etc., into "Everybody improves
whole systems".</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">I dont think that an approach long shown to be
useless for the challenges we are facing now improves through technology
that makes it available instantaneously, worldwide...</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">Still, its a fascinating show that definitely is
marketed in an effective mode...</DIV>
<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">So, for me its back to practicing Open Space
Technology!</DIV>
