I have been a little concerned about the convener being the note taker. Two examples from the WOSonOS, which is my one and only fully attended OS event so far! <div>1) A convener who has written a report as preacher-like as his circle was held, and not a single note taken of the gems I witnessed and heard from the participants, which suggests to me he didn't/couldn't hear them. And then the same convener from what I can see, is continuing to air his views that OS is being prevented from being a truly open forum by overly prescriptive facilitators - well suffice to say try walking it before you start talking it. I do not take kindly to hypocrites.<div>2) I took use of this apparently new opportunity to comment on reports, as offered by the London event. And then had to remove my comments, as they were potentially 'dangerous' for 'them out there' to read. What I thought I had done was take notes, and then offered to share them with the community. Hmmm, still working through this one in heart and mind...</div><div><br></div><div>No offence meant.
