<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi, Kevin - <div><br></div><div>Here's my thinking on pre-registration:</div><div>Pre-registration is about sustainability. About understanding the extent of and using resources (food, site, materials, documentation support) thoughtfully and in reflection to the numbers of people who will be coming.</div><div>Pre-registration is about productivity for the conversations and the work. Having enough room, supplies, hydration, nutrition - to support the active nature of the work.</div><div>It is about capacity. Rooms may only hold so many for these active forms of dialogue process. Budget may only include so much for tea or food.</div><div>It is about access and inclusion. Knowing what is needed to welcome people of diverse income, diverse ability, diverse mobility, diverse language needs and richness.</div><div>It is about respect. Letting the host know whether you are coming or not, so they can plan and include you.</div><div>It is about presence. 'I, too am coming'.</div><div>It is about passion and responsibility. Those who feel passionate about the work will try to be there - and will reach out to join. This is of course if reaching out also comes from the host in different ways - to ensure that all diverse members are invited - personally if needed, with different sorts of messages or pathways as needed - to ensure a rich mix of diverse experiences and ideas in the room. And often it is not about 'this is the process we will use' but about who else will be there, what sorts of questions the community is already exploring, what makes it possible for each individual to actually be able to attend.</div><div><br></div><div>What are others' thoughts about pre-registration?</div><div><br></div><div>Lisa</div><div><br></div><div> <br><div><div>On Aug 27, 2012, at 3:28 PM, Kevin Hiebert wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have a question concerning a possible OS event that will be occurring.

With a wide open invitation to parents, community members and other community associations is RSVP for individuals needed? Without an RSVP it will be near to impossible to figure out exact numbers of people will be coming. My fear is that an RSVP will limit those who may desire to come to the OS. </div><div><br></div><div>2. This specific area we are targeting we are focusing on a 5 elementary school catchment area. This area's demographic is lower income, low parental engagement, working families, very multi cultural. Does anyone have any pointers on specific ideas or experience in working with these factors?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div><div><br></div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
