In the kind of work we do I find that people are generally in those spaces almost by definition and we might accept them where they are, encourage them to express their views, create the space to address their concerns and build understanding so that they have the chance change their minds or see a way through. </div><div><br></div><div>I like this definition of a cynic: a disappointed optimist! And the antidote to disappointment is new hope and a plan of action. Open Space Technology provides the opportunity for that to emerge if it is going to. I am not sure we should build in a resistance to the expression of concerns which is likely to be cynical and critical in tone. </div><div><br></div><div>kind regards</div><div>Amanda</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 14 May 2012, at 10:58, Artur Silva wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:verdana, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; "><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; ">Frauke:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
