Hi dear Avner and all,<br><br>A "door prize drawing" is when everyone who comes to an event is given a ticket, or something with a number on it, when they come in the door. Later during the event a number is drawn, or picked, randomly and the person who has that number gets a gift! Printed tickets often come in sets so that you can give people a ticket or bunch of tickets, and retain a matching set with the same numbers printed on them to draw from.<br>
<br>Thanks to all as always for these very useful and thoughtful responses.<br><br>from a very sunny Seattle,<br>Christy<br>-- <br>Christy Lee-Engel, ND, LAc<br>206.399.0868<br>

thought of that Chris. The door prize is a fun way to reconnect with the more

part of OS. </span></p>

</div><div><div></div><div><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">That's a very cool way to do it
Diane. could combine it with a door prize drawing as well (also very
common in Aboriginal community meetings ...:-) )<br><br>Thanks for

<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Hi Kim,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When looking for the general directions the
majority of a group wishes to take after discussions in Open Space, here is an
option similar to dot voting but with less peer influence on the results. That
may not always be important but when it is, the following alternative helps.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Canadian aboriginal people shared with us
this technique for compiling votes - or points of the survey as I
now call it (Vote would imply decision making by participants when often,
it is the leadership group that decides and confirms after the survey, that
priorities proposed by participants are effectively a go for action planning
given resources, context etc.).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Their way is very quick and simple:
tickets in envelopes attached to each report on the wall. They prefer this
method since the individual choices are less influenced by the number of
points (or votes) others have given to a topic report for the simple reason
that the points are not visible.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Participants read the Book of Reports
identifying at the same time their top priorities and combining identical
topics with the initiators' consent. After the combinations have been
announced by the facilitation team, as people walk out through each of the
aisles in the circle, they are handed a strip of tickets (e.g. 5 tickets).
They place their tickets in envelopes attached under each report on the
wall. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Then, participants are invited to go to
a report - not their own - count results, mark the total on the envelope
attached to the report. One volunteer per report remains at the wall for the
announcement of results. When counting is all done, the facilitator asks if
any report has the maximum number of points a report could receive (e.g.,
same number as the number of participants when it's one vote per person per
report), and then goes down by 10 until someone shouts that their report
is in that range. As report numbers and titles are announced volunteers note
them on flip charts to capture the priorities of the group.
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt;">This approach was used with several OS events
of 450 people and it works wonderfully.</span></p>
<p> </p>
