Kevin's game that "Opens Space"

Kevin works for a company that is creating a Virtual Reality game for training leaders; the game might have applications for Open Space

Clean Language

A helpful modality for generating the Theme and other prework, and for promoting Open Space. Helps facilitator become more fully present and invisible. We should test using Clean Language for prework and promoting Open Space before publicizing it as a technique.

Peace & High Performance 2018

A few financial items & final report remain to be done. Harold is working on those items

Online Open Space for Multistakeholder facilitator sustainability

Moved to "parked indefinitely"

Front Porch Chat Virtual invitation

Harold has some, wants more videos. Make this item into an ongoing program, with a formal website page - Harold will make the page.

Professor Emma Bell- Unconference research

Harold will follow up with her.

"Understanding Open Space" CDs

Harrison Owen approved giving it away for free. Proposal: make it a benefit of OSI-US membership, available on the OSI-US website - Kevin will research technical details (Sound Cloud, etc).

Respectfully submitted,
Mark Sheffield
