<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Garamond><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Garamond'>Thanks for your comments, on my comments.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Garamond><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Garamond'>In order to teach the different components of The Genuine
Contact Program, while naming it as part of the program + use the workbooks developed,
you need to go through the program and finish the “train the trainer”
which is the 5<sup>th</sup> component of the capacity building trainings. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Garamond><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Garamond'>The different methods and tools we use are not protected from
being used at all – I “give them away” all the time. Some
tools are copyrighted in order to protect them, so we can use them for sure in
the future. These tools can be used by others too, given the proper acknowledgment.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Garamond><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Garamond'>Regarding Whole Person Process Facilitation – it is
not Open Space Technology or a derivative of it. It is a different meeting
method. My opinion is that it works from the same value system so, to me, it’s
a great complementary method which I for example use in all of my trainings and
in almost all my meetings that are not facilitated using OST. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=4 face=Garamond><span style='font-size:14.0pt;
font-family:Garamond'>No matter what method I use when I work with a group –
I mean that some space is opened – that was what I meant by the way I
phrased my words. OST opens it up wiiide while other methods may open a tiny
space only... Actually most “traditional” meetings do, according to
my opinion!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
