<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Still here in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City>
I promised to send some conclusions from the last session of WOSonOS –
can´t connect to Internet here (without paying) so I just hope it fits to the
story shared by Andrew.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Greetings from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Ukraine</st1:place></st1:country-region>. There sure was one
irresistible offer made for the 2008 WOSonOS! In fact the people who joined for
the circle to work on the decisions on future WOSonOS’s almost made the
decision before the offer was made. But after some persuasion they agreed on
experiencing the “fantastic” show from the marvelous production
manager (living a bit closer to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hollywood</st1:place></st1:City>)
Lisa Heft.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>So WOSonOS 2008 will take place in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>One proposal was made for 2009 – <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Taiwan</st1:country-region> made an offer to host WOSonOS–
forwarded by Andrew Ballance from <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The group concluded that they
strongly support the offer made.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>There was a quite lengthy discussion regarding the change
towards making decision two years ahead of time instead of one. There were both
pros and cons raised – from keeping it as simple as possible to allowing
more time for planning travel/preparation (in a follow up session in a bar
towards midnight the issue of obtaining visas was also raised). The conclusion
was made that this is not the right time to make that decision – one
reason being that this should have been made clear so that others could have
prepared and presented their offers for 2009.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>So the circle of participants showed their strong support
towards <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Taiwan</st1:place></st1:country-region>
hosting WOSonOS 2009 but wanted the actual decision to be made next year, in
SF. The group also wished that giving some more advance notice – such as
now – would make a decision to have a 2 year leadtime easier on the next
WOSonOS.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>For all those who want to host future WOSonOS’s we
heard a rumor that there is a video produced called “How to present an
irresistable WOSonOS-offer” around somewhere...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Thomas really thinks that the stand in-Access Queen Eva P
made great work, of course together with the generous participants - 105
dollars and 45 EUROS were raised for the fund which helps people access these marvelous
events.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>... and we´ve had SUCH A GREAT TIME in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City> – great city, great hospitality,
lovely meetings and wonderful people. Many many more stories to share.... now
we´re heading for another tour.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
