<span class=apple-style-span>I guess my main concern is with short OST (one day
or less), I don't expect that the people I will be working will be able to do
anything longer than that. In the cases where "people do need some more
help", it unlikely that they can reach the people with more information
the same day. Especially if they are meeting on the weekend as I expect will be
the case in my situation. But going back to my question, I realize that even if
you were able to ensure the attendance of some "expert(s)", you can
never be sure what kind of "expert" is needed, and even then why
would some "expert" attend something for a whole day just for the
possibility that they may provide some "expertise" for as little as 2
minutes. Unless, of course, they are otherwise interested and would be one of
the "whoever comes".</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>But anyway, you said it so eloquently which
hopefully will  help me explain this to others</span><br>

understand the question for which they have the answer. But more often than not
I find that people are foggy about the question. So when it comes to the
“right” people – particularly in a community setting – the ones with the
question, a question they really care about are the right ones for a start. And
then strange things can happen, particularly if the people discover that the
answer to their question lies right in the middle of their own experience,
contacts, and energy. At that point, they turn out to be The Expert. And that is
called empowerment. And who knows, the people may well come up with a solution
(answer) that nobody every thought of before. Experts, on the other hand, tend
to provide answers to questions they know about – and if you don’t fit into
their box, you just don’t fit. Of course if the people do need some more help,
there are such things as phones and internet.</span></font></span></p>

lack of proper information. How do we deal with that in Open Space? Obviously
