    Peggy, <br>
    <br>
    Thanks for your reply. You hit all my favorite notes here....and now
    you got me going. I'm being triggered! I'm spilling my beans...<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    I currently believe that self-organization is actually the
    high-frequency, dynamic sending and receiving of data about informal
    authorization, by and between the members and the group. <i><br>
      <br>
      In other words, healthy self-organization in a human social system
      is impossible without a continuous flow of  'authorization
      transactions'.</i> And it's a almost totally informal (mostly
    unconscious) process. <br>
    <br>
    Certain beliefs I have about the self-organization of Agile software
    teams follows from this belief. For example, I currently believe
    that when the authorization to make decisions lies outside the team,
    that team will not self-organize to do healthy goal-seeking. Instead
    they will now self-organize around avoiding pain. In this case,
    there is little (if any) flow of authorization transactions by and
    between the members. We can expect a zombie-like team. A team where
    the spirit is 'down'.<br>
    <br>
    If on the other hand the authorization to make decisions lies inside
    the team, we can expect the team to self-organize around work-based
    goal-seeking. In this case, there is a continuous flow of
    high-frequency of authorization transactions by and between the
    members. We can expect a lively team. A team where the spirit it
    "up".<br>

                as mostly, there is none or very little detailed
                thinking behind me expressing the idea, that authority
                does not disappear just because an os-event is taking
                place, and there is no levelling of authority, which I
                assume you meant, when using the expression "equal
                standing". <br>
                <br>
                This is all observation and experience, data I have
                taken in. In my world, thats pretty important and
                utterly valid even if the stuff I observe might be seen
                completely different by other observers. <br>
                <br>
                Looking at myself, I have lots of authority of the kind
                that sort of oozes out of me when standing in a circle,
                looking every one in the eye, even if there are
                thousands and asking them to look around, at the person
                to the right and to the left of them, behind them, at
                the other side of the circcle, all the time slowly
                walking around the circle... after I have done that
                twice everyone is smiling, looking, focusing on each
                other away from me... and then my authority shifts as I
                say nothing about open space but talk about the facts of
                life (the principles) etc... and later I move in the
                authority of invisibilty and presence... <br>
                <br>
                I am not sure what happens to the participants but I
                have no data that would indicate them reaching equal
                standing as far as authority is concerned or that others
                will ignore the different kinds and levels of authority
                that is associated with others representing those,
                regardless of whether just assumed or in fact fact. <br>
                <br>
                There have been experiential settings in which I have
                participated, such as the desert game where the folks
                claiming to be authorities on how to survive in a desert
                lead the group to certain death, or Tavistock
                Laboratories where participants, me included, even
                though we had all the space and freedom we wanted to
                take, used their various authorities in intricate
                manners to re-create exactly the kinds of organisational
                strutures they came from. So, authorities are simply a
                fact of life, more or less useful, especially if
                adaptable in the face of surprises. <br>
                <br>
                What I do find very interesting, is your quest
                investigating <br>
                my thinking! I have pretty much given up investigating
                my own thinking, let alone that of others. Seems to me
                that the only thing that works for my passion to have
                the forces of selforganisation do their thing (expanding
                time and space, if that is at all possible) is to
                concentrate on the things I can somehow control: set up
                a circle of chairs, etc. <br>

                    here are some bits from my experience: <br>
                    <br>
                    ---When I get a call or an email from someone asking
                    me to facilitate <br>
                    an ost-event I tell them to please arrange a
                    "contact" meeting that <br>
                    needs to be attended also by the person that will
                    have the authority <br>
                    to say yes or no at the end (usually the person that
                    would pay my <br>
                    fee). The purpose of the contact meeting is for the
                    sponsor to find <br>
                    out, whether the prerequisites for an OST event are
                    sufficiently in <br>
                    place. This meeting takes 60 to 90 minutes, no fee
                    charged. <br>
                    This process has nothing to do with OST, its simply
                    what is needed for <br>
                    any kind of intervention of any kind of man-made
                    organisation that is <br>
                    embarking on such a venture. <br>
                    <br>
                    ---Participants in an OST event do not leave the
                    authority bestowed on <br>
                    them in the wardrobe, there is no such thing as an
                    equal standing in <br>
                    authority terms. What does happen is that folks
                    differently bestowed <br>
                    with authority  will, in contrast to what they
                    usually do, follow more <br>
                    freely their "passion and responsibility" which, it
                    seems, in some way <br>
                    increases their non-bestowed authority... the
                    expanded space for the <br>
                    forces of selforganisation, the real motor in an OST
                    event, seems to <br>
                    have this effect. Everyone, all participants, fully
                    well know the <br>
                    limitations that they will have to deal with "back
                    in the asylum" when <br>
                    they follow their passion... and very often they are
                    amazingly elegant <br>
                    and cunning in seeing their project through
                    (responsible). That is why <br>
                    I encourage the folks in charge not to make any kind
                    of promises <br>
                    regarding what they will do to encourage projects
                    emerging from the <br>

                    place to see their <br>
                    projects through. <br>

                    ---Yes, again my experience, coercion, control and
                    such do shut down <br>
                    open space, not completely though: I have seen the
                    force in a dormant <br>
                    stage and becoming quite alive when the conditions
                    are right <br>
                    (prerequisites in place)... isn't it our experience
                    that big CONTROL <br>
                    seems to shut down just about anything? In OST
                    events I have actually <br>
                    seen efforts of BiG control being met by
                    counter-activity (this is <br>
                    sometimes the effect of facilitator intervention
                    when a space-invader <br>
                    tries his stuff or, and even more effective, the
                    "group" grappling <br>
                    with space invasion/attempts at control... these
                    observations I have <br>
                    made when there is a really burning business issue
                    and absolutely <br>
                    nobody has the foggiest idea regarding the solution,

                    <br>
                    I really impress myself with your passion, Daniel.
                    Maybe because I <br>
                    also have been trying to refine my understanding,
                    find precise <br>
                    language, get my hands onto, etc. what it is that
                    happens in os-events <br>
                    or even in os-organisations. In my
                    os-facilitator-career, I have <br>
                    increasingly given up trying to understand it and
                    focus more on what I <br>

                      <br>
                      Regarding the Sponsor for an OST meeting, <br>

                      ("sufficient+1") to be able to actually arrange,
                      budget and convene the <br>
                      meeting. And that the authority that the Sponsor
                      holds is conferred to <br>
                      him or her by the organization. Is this true in
                      OST? <br>
                      <br>
                      Regarding the Participants, <br>
                      I am saying that I believe that after the
                      Marketplace opens, the <br>
                      intention and in fact the reality of OST is that
                      everyone has an equal <br>
                      standing in authority terms. At the start, no one
                      person or group has <br>
                      any more authorization to act than any other
                      person, regardless of their <br>
                      formally authorized role in the organization. Is
                      this true in OST? <br>
                      <br>
                      For the record, I am not at all in favor of
                      mandates. I am allergic to <br>
                      them. I believe mandates and other forms of
                      coercion strongly discourage <br>
                      self-organization by the imposition of external
                      authority over the <br>
                      person or group. Self-organization is impossible
                      in scenarios where <br>
                      individuals and groups are not free to choose. Is
                      this true in OST? <br>
                      <br>
                      This places out routinely EVERY SINGLE DAY in
                      Agile adoptions. Formally <br>
                      authorized leadership imposes Agile practices on
                      teams while at the same <br>
                      time encouraging teams to "self-organize". I for
                      one have seldom if ever <br>
                      seen it actually work that way. <br>
                      <br>
                      And so I have my questions about authority in Open
                      Space. <br>
                      <br>
                      I'm not being cute here: I'm hoping someone can
                      help me break/refine my <br>
                      model of OST as it pertains to formal and informal
                      authority, in the <br>
                      Open Space. I'm trying to use more precise
                      language to explain what I <br>
                      think is going on in OST. In my view, the 1 Law
                      and the 5 Principles <br>
                      make it clear everyone has equal informal
                      authorization in OST, <br>
                      regardless of their formal title. I some ways the
                      formal titles are <br>
                      suspended, as the space is held open for inquiry
                      and dialogue. <br>
                      <br>
                      This is my current belief. I asking for help in
                      determining if this <br>
                      belief is close to truth. <br>

                        is there a new (5th or 6th) principle emerging?
                        <br>
                        Such as: <br>
                        "Whoever is authorized is the right people?" <br>
                        Or <br>
                        "Whoever is mandated is the right people?" <br>

                        Or is there a new prerequisite for the unfolding
                        of the forces of <br>

                        In addition to the 4,5 or 6 that we are often

                        <br>
                        Or are these thoughts simply a manifestation of
                        "old-paradigm", <br>
                        remnants of the realm of control? <br>
                        <br>
                        Control? Wasn't that the effort to shut down
                        selforganisation towards <br>
                        zero? <br>
                        <br>
                        Heavy stuff for a sundrenched Sunday morning in
                        Berlin where I and the <br>
                        entire population (including dogs and cats and
                        other pets kept in <br>
                        human housing) are suffering from having been
                        robbed of an hours time <br>
                        by authorities that are mandated to do such
                        stuff. <br>
                        <br>
                        Oh yes, before I forget, there was the notion
                        that "passion and <br>
                        responsibility" is all that is needed for
                        "authorisation" (with the <br>
                        nagging suspicion that folks driven by passion
                        and responsibility and <br>
                        even taking action under those influences walk
                        through the walls and <br>
                        obstacles set up by those authorized to raise
                        them as if they were <br>

                          Will you help me clarify my thinking? <br>
                          <br>
                          I'm wondering if 100% equivalence in
                          authorization for all <br>
                          participants <br>
                          is actually a key/defining characteristic of
                          any genuine and authentic <br>
                          Open Space event... <br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          First things first. Definitions: <br>
                          <br>
                          Authority: The right to do specific work <br>
                          <br>
                          Authorization: The conferring of authority <br>
                          <br>
                          Formal Authority: Authorization conferred from
                          the formal organization <br>
                          to a person. Example: "the CEO". <br>
                          <br>
                          Informal Authority: Authorization conferred
                          from peers, colleagues and <br>
                          co-workers. Example: "emergent leadership". <br>
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          Now let's get into it. I currently think, and
                          believe, that: <br>
                          <br>
                          1. For an Open Space event inside an
                          organization, the Sponsor must <br>
                          occupy a role with substantial formal
                          authorization, definitely more <br>
                          than enough to actually authorize that OST
                          event. The higher the level <br>
                          of formal authorization of the Sponsor, the
                          better it is for the event <br>
                          overall. <br>
                          <br>
                          2. The Sponsor authorizes the participants-
                          the "invitees"-- to meet <br>
                          together, and do the specific work of
                          exploring and investigating the <br>
                          Theme. This "authorized work" is done in
                          "authorized space"...in that <br>
                          specific place, for a specific period of time.
                          The Sponsor explicitly <br>
                          authorizes all of the above and conveys this
                          message after they stand <br>
                          up, and before they sit down, at the opening.
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          2. The Facilitator is formally authorized by
                          the Sponsor to do the <br>
                          specific work of OST event. Absent this
                          authorization, the Facilitator <br>
                          has no standing. <br>
                          <br>
                          3. This is the big one: Everyone else, Sponsor
                          included, has 100% <br>
                          equivalent authorization (100% equivalent
                          "right to do work") as of <br>
                          the <br>
                          moment of opening of the Bulletin Board and/or
                          the opening of the <br>
                          Marketplace. <br>
                          <br>
                          4. As the event progresses, authorization
                          dynamics are in play. These <br>
                          "informal authorization" dynamics occur
                          continuously throughout the <br>
                          day <br>
                          in real time, moment by moment. Those who
                          experience net increases in <br>
                          levels of informal authorization as of the end
                          of the meeting have <br>
                          membership in the "emergent leadership" group.
                          <br>
                          <br>
                          I am very interested in what experienced folks
                          think about the <br>
                          validity <br>
                          of the assertion in (3) above. <br>
                          <br>
                          Ex the Facilitator, does everyone else
                          actually have 100% equivalent <br>
                          authorization in an OST meeting? Why or why
                          not? <br>
                          Is this 100% equivalence of authorization
                          actually a key/defining <br>
                          characteristic of any genuine and authentic
                          Open Space event? <br>
                          <br>
                          Thanks for any insight you may be able to
                          provide, and <br>
                          <br>
