WHAT IF

(1)   we held an Open Space and got appropriate sponsors and invited all interested people from ANYwhere to meet 2+ days [seeking Taiwan’s fitness]

-         Where would it be?

-         When would it be? Early next year… January, before the new year.

-         What would the topic be? Economics? Jobs? Unemployment? Us vs. China? Drain to China? What are the advantages we have to offer and if we focused on them we could go farther faster? What are our strengths economically that could be promoted toward more growth? Stress and strain by drain to China?

-         Who might sponsor it?

-         Who would like to come?

-         How would we contact them?

(2)   WHAT IF we had a whole series of OS’s all over Taiwan, wherever we could get them, focusing all of them on the same topic?

** if each person in Taiwan who’s been trained in OST gave 1 OST meeting wherever they could manage one (PTA, community groups, schools, civic groups, whatever) there would be over 90. Jane would come!! Gail would come!!

-         Shu-Fang put web site up

-         People see reports of all meetings as they come out … site builds over the course of the 90 programs (watch it and see the answers grow and numbers of people engaged also grow) Fun!!

-         Then hold some big culmination, celebration.

Topic insights

-         time and space is opening too fast, it’s too big to cope.

“Fitness”

-         of whom? Which “interest group”?

-         Maybe we’d move from “What are the real values of life for us?”. It’s likely to become clearer for the group.

-         “What is it we REALLY want?” so we’re not feeling just stuck

(3) WHAT IF some of the meetings were held ON the web. By invitation only. Exclusive group, mayors, heads of government, etc. REAL experts. By invitation only. Others can give comments.
