<div>3 comments which may sound contradictory and reveal my own need to action learn</div><div><br></div><div>1 harrisons' books eg practice of peace explain that an intention of Open Space is to free people who are all trapped by the same conflict to move beyond it - creating more space than top-down rules or historiic cultural misunderstanding had previously allowed - this always seems to me to be what is happening provided the facilitator is experienced</div><div><br></div><div>2 however what happens when people are no longer together in the space; are actions and post conflict innovations unstoppable?; here what bothers me is that there is no complete database of success stories- or if there is please given us one bookmark; i mean something that is an updating index not just this listing - a "good food guide" review format to open space so to speak</div><div><br></div><div>3 i wonder if anyone has experienced deep democracy which i believe was innovated by myrna lewis in south africa- this starts with a somewhat different process purpose ; it aims to identify opposng sides and then get them to debate what with all their energy but no violence what is their absolute minimum demands in a proposed solution which will make them unite with the other sides</div><div><br></div><div>while 3 sounds a valid idea frankly it puts even more burden of the faciltator (or indeed the spirit of the space) and who actually sponsored the event - the very few deep democracies I have participated in did not have outcomes that i trusted even though I was there more as an observer than one of the interested partners</div><div><br></div><div>just my 3 cents worth ; ultimately the catch 22 seems to me to be that unless hehre is already enough community to be the sponsor , the after-the space motivations of the sponoir come back into play- so how one deals with that is what I dont understand?</div><div><br></div><div>chris macrae <a href="http://www.BRI.school" class="enhancr_card_8584412423">www.BRI.school</a></div><div><br></div><div id="ydp9ef40992enhancr_card_8584412423" class="ydp9ef40992yahoo-link-enhancr-card ydp9ef40992ymail-preserve-class ydp9ef40992ymail-preserve-style" style="max-width:400px;font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Segoe UI, Arial, sans-serif;" data-url="http://www.BRI.school" data-type="YENHANCER" data-size="MEDIUM" contenteditable="false"><a href="http://www.BRI.school" style="text-decoration:none !important;color:#000 !important;" class="ydp9ef40992yahoo-enhancr-cardlink" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><table border="0" class="ydp9ef40992card-wrapper ydp9ef40992yahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="max-width:400px;"><tbody><tr><td width="400"><table border="0" class="ydp9ef40992card ydp9ef40992yahoo-ignore-table" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="max-width:400px;border-width:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:rgb(224, 228, 233);border-radius:2px;"><tbody><tr><td class="ydp9ef40992card-primary-image-cell" background="https://s.yimg.com/lo/api/res/1.2/uIVeYG.Co4wPu7ymNGou1g--~A/Zmk9ZmlsbDt3PTQwMDtoPTIwMDthcHBpZD1pZXh0cmFjdA--/https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZrezfVI3-M/WncKmuSiFsI/AAAAAAAACps/k1O6lTm6aQIxNdoXdaQv7itkuWYn3ffeQCLcBGAs/s640/BRItrust.jpg.cf.jpg" bgcolor="#000000" valign="top" height="175" style="background-image: url("https://s.yimg.com/lo/api/res/1.2/uIVeYG.Co4wPu7ymNGou1g--~A/Zmk9ZmlsbDt3PTQwMDtoPTIwMDthcHBpZD1pZXh0cmFjdA--/https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8ZrezfVI3-M/WncKmuSiFsI/AAAAAAAACps/k1O6lTm6aQIxNdoXdaQv7itkuWYn3ffeQCLcBGAs/s640/BRItrust.jpg.cf.jpg");
