Probably the biggest issue is time, and how long the event will be. I had a chance to read that 5 hours is quite the minimum to get something substantial. How long do people survive in online events in which they do not move? Many participants will not have the privilege to make themselves available for so many hours, and that can cause substantial tensions around accessibility and equivalence, do you have any ideas on how to attend to it? I also got a chance to read that the commitment to be present from start to finish is more important than the amount of people coming, how can we take care of that in a long online event where people are volunteers?<br><br></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>"Whoever comes are the right people." is the first principle of Open Space. And the Law of Mobility is always in effect. </div><div><br></div><div>This means that you need to create a compelling invitation for folks. You need to tap into a need for people to be there, be working and be connected. You might also need to find ways to help people to participate. The bottom line is that if this is the most important thing for people to be doing, they will be there. And it will be for some. But not all. If you are the only one who feels the need for this, it's unlikely that others will come. Instead what if you held a short OST meeting to invite others to join you in this call and explore these questions you have together? </div><div><br></div><div>Buy and read the OST User's Guide. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="rtl"><div dir="ltr">4. Does it make sense to produce a condensed and prioritized report after the event that will detail some sort of emergent strategy and plans to meet the purpose presented? Any resources on how to do it well and in an efficient manner? <br> <br></div></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not always...it depends. It's all related to your purpose. If you are using OST for strategic work, then yes. If you are using it just for folks to connect, then a report with prioritized actions steps doesn't make much sense. It's all related to the purpose of your event. Whenever I am designing something like this I always think about why we are doing it and what needs to happen to support whatever comes next.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="rtl"><div dir="ltr">5.
