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><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
