Thank you for the donation requests and the generous donations that
have come in!<br>
<br>
The Open Space Institute U.S. actually has a decent funding base
right now. I serve as the treasurer as well as the "webmaster", and
the board is working on a way to hold space for open space with the
funds we have.<br>
<br>
I personally will not accept any money for my volunteer work. My
rewards from being involved with this community have been profuse,
powerful and profound. I'm grateful for the capacity to support Open
Space in this way. Even if it's not always smooth. Technology has a
way of getting in the way sometimes more often than it provides a
way. Ideally, this tech stuff would all be invisible.<br>
<br>
I was happy and grateful to put in the effort to migrate the OSList
from the LISTSERV platform when it stopped being free back in the
spring of 2011. It was looking like it would have cost over a $1000
US annual back then.<br>
<br>
What can you, members of the OSList, do to support us?<br>
<br>
I'll ask that at the next board meeting, but I'll speak from my own
heart and with my own opinion.<br>
<br>
Think about the question Harrison Owen proposed in January of 2020
in his morning talks to use in New York City when we could still
meet in person. This question was also the heart of the online
Opening Space for Peace and High Performance from a few days ago.<br>
<h2>“How do we engage 8 billion people in meaningful conversation?”</h2>
Harrison thrilled us with another question a few days ago at that
same event. I will paraphrase.<br>

<br>
just received my Economic Impact Payment of 600$ signed by the

Well, your email came just in time to send a 100$ donation to
the Open <br>
Space Institute-USA that they can use as they wish and I would
love to <br>
see it go into a retirement fund of our overworked colleague
in Montana.<br>
Here is the PayPal transfer note<br>
