    Hmmm...the Invite. It is an option. <br>

              invitation from Swarmwise by Rick Falkvinge. I find this
              oddly similar to the preconditions of Open Space.<br>
              <br>
              1. Tangible: You need to post an outline of the goals you
              intend to<br>
              meet, when, and how.<br>
              <br>
              2. Credible: After having presented your daring goal, you
              need to<br>
              present it as totally doable. Bonus points if nobody has
              done it<br>
              before.<br>
              <br>
              3. Inclusive: There must be room for participation by
              every spectator<br>
              who finds it interesting, and they need to realize this on
              hearing<br>
              about the project.<br>
              <br>
              4. Epic: Finally, you must set out to change the entire
              world for the<br>
              better — or at least make a major improvement for a lot of
              people.<br>
