</div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p>Dearest OS community,<u></u><u></u></p><p>I have been asked to co-host an Open Space next week where Chilean civil society and NGOs will propose ideas to enrich the political programs for the upcoming elections.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>An unknown number of people could come. Organizers estimate around 300-500.<br>The venue is big enough.<br>The umbrella question is being destiled and refined.<u></u><u></u></p><p>In the organizing committee there is an argument about the convenience of using chairs.<br>
Some people feel attached to the almost untouchable sacred geometry of the circle of chairs.<br>I personally believe that chairs are not an essential element of OST, while people can self-organize and decide if they prefer to talk standing up, sit on the ground...or even talk while talking.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>That is why I take the courage to ask for help to the collective wisdom present in this OS community.<u></u><u></u></p><p>What successful stories can you share of opening space without chairs?<u></u><u></u></p><p>What are the pros and cons of not using chairs in an Open Space?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>In what ways can (un)availability of chairs be a barrier or opportunity to unleash collective wisdom through self organization?<u></u><u></u></p><p>mountains of Love from the cold foggy Chilean winter.<u></u><u></u></p>
