<p>Leslie,</p>
<p>Yoy seem to unserstand the spirit of OST. Your schedule looks wonderful.</p>
<p>You might include 1 minute "Thank you for Coming. Do whatever is necessary" coming from the Boss, only if necessary.</p>
<p>Stay being totally Present & absolutely Invisible.</p>
<p>The OS magic will be played by the group themselves. So just leave them do it!</p>
<p>Bravo you</p>
<p>spark</p>

Dear Leslie,<div><br></div><div>Since my first time facilitating Open Space was also for a small group with just a few hours, and I also asked lots of questions on OSLIST :), I just dug up those conversations in the archives for your reference. If you feel like reading more, here you go:</div>
<div><br></div><div>I first asked about "<i>Open Space for small groups</i>" here:</div><div><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-August/thread.html#17376" target="_blank">http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-August/thread.html#17376</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Coincidentally, someone else asked about "<i>opening space for very small groups</i>" here:</div><div><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-September/thread.html#17697" target="_blank">http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-September/thread.html#17697</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>and reported on her experience here:</div><div><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-October/thread.html#17808" target="_blank">http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-October/thread.html#17808</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>And I asked more questions about "<i>Robert's in the midst of Open Space</i>" here:</div><div><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-November/thread.html#18016" target="_blank">http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-November/thread.html#18016</a></div>
<div><div><br></div><div>and finally reported back about "<i>My first time</i>" here:</div><div><a href="http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-November/thread.html#18025" target="_blank">http://lists.openspacetech.org/htdig.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org/2006-November/thread.html#18025</a></div>
