<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s been a few years since I was on this list and happy to have returned recently. I was stuck out on the dry, deserted island called “NoWillingnessToTryOpenSpace”.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve gotten off that island and am thankful to be back on the fertile land of Open Space. With that said, I have never actually facilitated an Open Space myself, but have one on the calendar for December 2<sup>nd</sup> at my new job (of
a week!) <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is it appropriate to put out a draft of my invitation, schedule, theme, questions, etc. and ask for your feedback? If not, could I ask for a couple of volunteers whom I could write off –line asking for your thoughts? Is there a better
way to solicit a sounding board? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks for steering the newbie in the right direction, <o:p>
</o:p></p>
