Hi Viv,<br>
<br>
Thank you! I appreciate you're joining the annoyance club with me
:-)<br>
<br>
I've noticed some tendency towards people making open invitations to
"improve" the process - and I'll be doing a post conference
debrief/retrospective in a couple hours. I've no interest in taking
on others anxieties about Open Space. And I'm also curious what you
think about inviting feedback, and how to help make the best of it -
not just for myself - but for the other stake holders in the process
when an Open Space is being hosted by an organization?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
Harold<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Harold
Ah, yes I share your annoyance. For me it has nothing to do with what you did or did not do at the opening etc, I'm sure it's just as it needed to be. It's the second-hand feedback, via email no less. "Some people" nearly always means "me". It's also slightly passive-aggressive. I try not to take on other people's anxieties about open space - of which there seems to be a lot around - and simply get on with it.
Cheers
Viv
