Hi Tricia,<br>
<br>
Thanks for sending the schedule. If you want, it looks like I can
endeavor on 10/30 (Friday) but not 10/31 (Saturday) ...to pass
something to him via his people in Boston.<br>
<br>
Therefore, if we are going to take a shot in Boston, I can try on
the 30th or/and I can try to enlist some others for the 30 and 31st
in Boston. I'm already inquiring with others who live in Boston, to
gauge their willingness to help on 30 or 31.<br>
<br>

<div>Next week I will be connecting with an open spacer who has
contacted me saying that they have some ideas about engaging
with the Dalai Lama around OS - I will refresh thoughts after
this! </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In the meantime, I had a few clarifying thoughts about an
approach:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Create an actual "invitation", ideally with a strong
visual (good idea Dan), that can be hand delivered. </li>
<li>Invite participation in one specific event that the
Dalai Lama and his office can consider for inclusion in
their 2015 schedule of public engagements<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>This is opposed to suggesting that OS could be
combined with an existing engagement that would require
3rd party approval/involvement or that it could be
applied to a broad range of engagements, yet to be
defined.</li>
</ul>
<li>Consider having the invitation come from a group of Open
Spacers, such as: The "OS world" community, one or more OS
Institutes. <br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Perhaps gather signatures if we want to invite as an
informal global community of practice? <br>
</li>
</ul>
<li> Partner an invitation to the Dalai Lama to speak and to
participate in an OS with an existing event being planned
for 2015.<br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>Ideally an event closely aligned with one of his <a href="http://www.dalailama.com/biography/three-main-committments" target="_blank">Three Commitments</a></li>
</ul>
<li>If there is no existing event organizer interested in
partnering, consider proposing a stand alone event (yes, I
would stand up as a primary organizer) designed around an
important event or day of the year</li>
<ul>
<li>International Day of Peace (Sept 21), MLK Jr Day (Jan
19), etc. </li>
<li>One ambitious idea from my partner, Joe: OS
practitioners in different towns hold individual open
spaces in parallel on international day of peace - Dalai
Lama and his community invited to attend any that are
geographically feasible; utilize an online component to
share an opening by the Dalai Lama, as well as shared
proceedings and maybe video connect for a portion of the
day. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>So....any suggestions for a partner event? takers or
thoughts on suggesting a stand alone event? </div>
</div>
<div><br>

<div>:) </div>
