It fits perfectly in two training programs on collaborative action research I am providing. I have ordered the book by Cynthia.

I will start next week with two PNI sessions. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">By the way, two weeks ago I had the honour to facilitate a one-day Open Space on the tasks and organisation of the Dutch Fire Brigade.

If you pray to the list serve Gods, don't expect much. There aren't
any.<br>
<br>
This list is self-organized and self-moderated. If things go well, I
am hoping to get the OSList migrated to Mailman 3.0 soon. It will
help with some of the bounce problems, but it won't make any
difference to the self-organization of this conversation.<br>
<br>
You might make a difference though. I believe you already have.
Thank you for that, Mark!<br>
