<DIV><BR></DIV>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

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

part of OS. </SPAN></P>

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>
