Hi Lisa and the rest of the committee,<br><br>
As an independant consultant, I have to say summer is certainly best for
me. Usually, it is the period of year that is less busy and it may very
well give me a chance to travel in sunny California. Even though it might
cost more to travel, the financial impact will be less as chances are I
won't be missing any paying contracts during that period.<br><br>
So my vote goes to summer :-)<br><br>
Thanks in advance to all for the organizing work! As a member of the
committee organizing the first OSONOS in French in Val-David this fall, I
know it's a lot of work. So thank you :-))<br><br>

I am just freshly on the OSLIST myself after years of Chris sending me
interesting stuff. <br><br>
Chris and I are excited to come in July and bring our family. We
will register early - as soon as there are dates. Summer is ideal
for us - both for family and work reasons.<br><br>
I am game to be part of a conversation about family/kid flow if there are
others bringing children. I have a deep interest in living and
learning in Open Space and that very much involves our kids and
family.<br><br>
Looking forward to it!<br><br>
Caitlin.<br><br>

been so generous in past years, Michael, helping this and other OS events
with donations from the proceeds coming from the World Map, as
well. Several of the Open Space Institutes have been incredibly

coming to San Francisco next year for the WOSonOS: Access Queen will be
joining with the creative thoughtful work of the rest of the Host Team,
and others of you as well I am sure – to share some ideas coming months
about how you all can think of raising some of your own funds from your
various communities for your own or others' needs – about how to ask
other organizations or individuals who may have funds - about other
sources of support as well (think, my dear fellow OSLIST folks, about
additional and diverse sources that may know of for funding and do share
that with us on the OSLIST). I know the various Open Space
Institutes are thinking, and many of you individuals also have creative
ways each year you raise funds for yourself and others (for example, past
years have seen OSTLIST members raise money from selling poetry, artwork
or books, or donating a percentage of the money made from a project or
two). The registration process will also help us find out

support new travelers to our countries, and more.<br><br>

same great community-supportive activity for the 2008 event. I am
also glad that the WOSonOS keeps shifting back and forth across the
world, so that people in different parts of the world are able to come if
not one year, then perhaps the next – as we support Open Space (and each
other) around the world.<br><br>
